Precautions for DIY maintenance
■ If you want to conduct maintenance of the vehicle by yourself, be sure to
properly observe the procedure provided in this section.
■ Note that improper or incomplete maintenance will affect the good service
effect of the vehicle.
■ This section only provides information on simple maintenance that can be
operated by users. However, it may cover some maintenance items that
must be completed by certified technicians with special tools.
■ To prevent causing any accidental injury, be sure to take special care when
maintaining the vehicle. The following are some precautions that must be
observed.
■ Take care not to cause a short circuit as some circuits, components and
parts of the vehicle carry high current or high voltage.
■ Any overflowing coolant should be wiped off with a piece of dry cloth or
paper to prevent causing damage to the component or painted surface.
■ Any overflowing brake fluid should be washed off with water to prevent
causing damage to the component or painted surface.
■ Prevent the wiper from scratching the glass surface when replacing wiper
blades.
■ Check whether any tool or wiping cloth is left in the front compartment
when closing the front compartment hatch.
■ Working on or beneath the vehicle requires use of goggles to avoid
exposing the eyes to damage from splashing or falling objects or liquids.
■ Take care when refilling brake fluid because it will damage skin or eyes. If
any brake fluid splashes onto skin or into eyes, immediately wash the
splashed part with clean water. If you still feel uncomfortable in hands or
eyes, go to the hospital at once.
Check the following items in accordance with the vehicle's service conditions or
the specified vehicle running mileage:
■ Coolant level — Check the coolant level of the expansion tank every time
when you charge the vehicle.
