Maintenance and care
WARNING
QWhen working on the engine compartment
OMake sure that “IGNITION ON” on the multi-information display and the “READY” indicator are both off.
OKeep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan.
OBe careful not to touch the engine, power control unit, radiator, exhaust
manifold, etc. right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other flu-ids may also be hot.
ODo not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compartment.
ODo not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel. Fuel fumes are flammable.
OTake 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.
QWhen working near the electric
cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is off. With the power 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. ( P.458)
QSafety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc., from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
QIf 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.
QIf 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.
