Keep Flammable Material Away from the Vehicle
Stopping and Parking with the Engine Running
WARNING
• When stopping and parking with the engine running: If your vehicle is the
manual transmission model, be sure to place the gearshift lever in the "N"
position. If your vehicle is the automatic transmission model, be sure to place
the selector lever in the "P" position and check that "P" is indicated in the shift
indicator. Then, firmly apply the parking brake. Unless you take these steps, any
unintended pressure on the accelerator pedal could cause an accident.
WARNING
• After driving through tall grass, mud,
rocks, sand, water, etc., check that
there is no grass, branches, paper,
rags, stones, sand, etc., adhering to
or trapped under the vehicle body.
If the vehicle is operated with these
materials trapped or adhering to the
underbody, a failure or fire could
occur. Clear off any such matter from
the underbody.
• The diesel particulate defuser (DPD),
urea selective catalytic reduction
(SCR), muffler, and exhaust pipe
are extremely hot while the engine
is idling, or immediately after vehicle
operation. In order to prevent fires,
make sure the surrounding area
is free of flammable material (for
example, grass, waste paper, oil or
old tires). Take particular care when
parking in a garage.
• Use caution concerning hot exhaust
gases while the engine is idling, or
immediately after the engine has
been stopped. Otherwise, you could
be burned.
