WARNING
The engine compartment contains
many mechanisms and fluids that
may move suddenly, become hot, or
become electrically energized. To
avoid death or serious injury, observe
the following precautions.
■
When working on the engine
compartment
●
Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving fan and
engine drive belt.
●
Be careful not to touch the engine,
radiator, exhaust manifold, etc.,
right after driving as they may be
hot. Oil and other fluids may also be
hot.
●
Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compartment.
●
Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel or the
battery. Fuel and battery fumes are
flammable.
●
Be extremely cautious when work-
ing on the battery. It contains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●
Take care because brake fluid can
harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets
on your hands or in your eyes, flush
the affected area with clean water
immediately. If you still experience
discomfort, consult a doctor.
■
When working near the electric
cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is off. With
the engine switch in ON, the electric
cooling fan may automatically start to
run if the air conditioning is on and/or
the coolant temperature is high.

■
Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.,
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■
If you remove the air cleaner fil-
ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive
engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■
If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the
accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.
