WARNING
■ To  prevent  an  accident  or  injury   when  inspecting  under  the  hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If  steam  is  seen  coming  from  under  the  hood,  do  not  open  the  ho od  until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
● After  the  hybrid  system  has  been  turned  off,  check  that  the  “Accessory”,
“Ignition  ON”  or  mileage  display  ( P.  116)  on  the  main  display  and  the
“READY” indicator are off.
When  the  hybrid  system  is  operating,  the  gasoline  engine  may  au tomati-
cally  start,  or  the  cooling  fans  may  suddenly  operate  even  if  the  gasoline
engine  stops.  Do  not  touch  or  approach  rotating  parts  such  as  t he  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 reservoir caps while the hybrid syste m and radi-
ator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
