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 
● Make  sure  that  the  “ACCESSORY”  or  “IGNITION  ON”  on  the  multi-infor- 
mation display and the “READY” indicator are both off. 
● Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan. 
● Be  careful  not  to  touch  the  engine,  power  control  unit,  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 12-volt 
battery. Fuel and 12-volt battery fumes are flammable. 
● Be extremely cautious when working on the 12-volt battery. It contains poi- 
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid. 
● Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage 
painted  surfaces.  If  fluid  gets  on  your  hands  or  in  your  eyes,  flush  the 
affected area with clean water immediately. If you still experi ence discom- 
fort, consult a doctor. 
■ When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille 
Be sure the power switch is off. 
With the power switch in ON mode, the electric cooling fans may  automati- 
cally start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coo lant temperature 
is high. ( P. 606) 
■ Safety glasses 
Wear  safety  glasses  to  prevent  flying  or  falling  material,  flui d  spray,  etc., 
from getting in your eyes.
