It is important to keep the engine properly

prevent possible catalyst damage.

 The cooling fans can turn on automati-
cally even if the plug-in hybrid EV system
is stopping. Put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF to be safe while you
work in the engine compartment.

Make sure that the engine and Plug-in
Hybrid EV system has cooled down before
removing the radiator cap and EV cooling

flames around fuel or auxiliary battery.
The fumes are flammable.

Be extremely cautious when working
around the auxiliary battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid.
 Do not get under your vehicle with just the
body jack supporting it. Always use auto-
motive jack stands.

materials used in the vehicle can endanger
your personal safety. We recommend you
to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.
