The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move sud-
denly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious injury.
n When working on the engine compartment:
l Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
l Be careful not to touch the engine, inverter, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
l Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the engine
compartment.

and battery fumes are flammable.
