l For diesel-powered vehicles, if the tempera-
ture inside the engine compartment is high,
the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate
for some time even if the engine is stopped.
Therefore, the operation sound of the cool-
ing fans may be heard even after the engine
is stopped. This sound is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
After operating for a period of time, the
cooling fans will stop automatically.
