CAUTION
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move sud-
denly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious
injury, observe the following precautions.
When working on the engine compartment
■
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
●
Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right after driv-
●
ing 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 battery. Fuel
●
and battery fumes are flammable.
Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous and
●
corrosive sulfuric acid.
When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
■
Be sure the engine switch is off.
With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode, the electric cooling fans may
automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant tempera-
ture is high. ( P. 622)
Safety glasses
■
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from get-
ting in your eyes.
NOTICE
If you remove the air cleaner filter
■
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear due to
dirt in the air. Also, a backfire could cause a fire in the engine compartment.
