observe the following precautions.
ItemsParts and tools■When working on the engine
compartment
●Make sure that “IGNITION ON”
on the multi-information display
and the “READY” indicator are
both off.
●Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving fan.
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compart-
ment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel.
Fuel fumes are flammable.
■When working near the elec-
tric cooling fan or radiator
