WARNING
• As the hood is heavy, if a child tries
to open or close it, the child may
get injured. Do not allow a child to
open or close the hood.
• As the engine
becomes hot, it may cause burns.
When opening the hood, do not
allow a child to come close to the
hood.
• If you leave any tool or cloth in the
engine compartment, it may cause
a malfunction. Also, as the engine
compartment becomes hot, it may
result in vehicle fire. Do not leave
any tool or cloth for inspection or
cleaning in the engine compart-
ment.
CAUTION
If you come close to a running drive
belt or a cooling fan (radiator fan),
hands, hair, clothing, etc. may be
caught and you may get injured.
When the engine is running, keep
away from the drive belt or the cool-
ing fan (radiator fan).
