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 fans and engine drive belt.
●
Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right after driv-
●

Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the engine
●

Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the battery. Fuel
●

Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous and
●
corrosive sulfuric acid.
When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille

Be sure the "ENGINE START STOP" switch is OFF.
With the "ENGINE START STOP" switch in IGNITION ON mode, the electric
cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the
coolant temperature is high. (P. 754)
When working on or under the vehicle
■
Do not get under the vehicle with just the jack supporting it.
●
Always use automotive jack stands or other solid supports.
Use eye protection to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from get-
●
ting in your eyes.
NOTICE

■
Driving with the air cleaner removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt
in the air.
