Catalytic Converter - Mitsubishi XPANDER HEV 2023 Manual

WARNING
 The cooling fan can turn on automatically
even if the Hybrid EV System is stopping.
Put the operation mode of the power
switch in OFF to be safe while you work in
the engine compartment.
 Make sure that the Hybrid EV System has
cooled down before removing the radiator
cap (C) and EV cooling system reserve
tank cap (D), because hot steam or boiling
water otherwise will gush from the filler
port and may scald you.
 Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or auxiliary battery.
The fumes are flammable.
 Be extremely cautious when working
around the auxiliary battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid.
 Do not get under your vehicle with just the
body jack supporting it. Always use auto-
motive jack stands.
 Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endanger
your personal safety. We recommend you
to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.
 The components inside the engine com-
partment might be very hot to the touch.
To avoid being burnt, make sure all com-
ponents have sufficiently cooled before

nents are affixed with the label indicating
