Introduction Risk of burns when parking or stopping vehicle
Risk of burns when parking or
stopping vehicle
䳜 Do not park or stop the vehicle
near flammable items such as
leaves, paper, oil, and tyre. Such
items placed near the exhaust
system can become a fire hazard.
䳜 When an engine idles at a high
speed with the rear side of the
vehicle touching the wall, heat of
the exhaust gas can cause
discolouration or fire. Keep
enough space between the rear
part of the vehicle and the wall.
䳜 Be sure not to touch the exhaust/
catalytic systems whilst engine is
running or right after the engine
is turned off. There is a risk of
burns since the systems are
extremely hot.
