When Working On The Engine Compartment - Toyota YARIS F User Manual

CAUTION
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions:

When working on the engine compartment:


 On hybrid vehicles, make sure that the engine switch is in the "LOCK"
position (vehicles without an electronic key) or the "POWER" switch off
(vehicles with an electronic key) and the "READY" indicator are both off.
 Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine
drive belt.
 Be careful not to touch the engine, power control unit (hybrid vehicle), radi-
ator, exhaust manifold, etc. right after driving 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 bat-
tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
 Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
 Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage
painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the
affected area with clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
