switch and the “READY” indicator are off. When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automatically start, orthe cooling fan may suddenly operate even if the gasoline engine stops. Do not touch
or approach rotating parts such as the fan, which may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) getting caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant inlet cap or thecoolant reservoir caps while the hybrid sys-tem and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
