HANDBOOK INFORMATION
California Proposition 65 Warning
WARNING: To minimize exposure,
avoid breathing exhaust, do
not idle the engine except as
necessary, service your vehicle
in a well-ventilated area and
wear gloves or wash your hands
frequently when servicing your
vehicle. For more information
go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/

Precautions Against Fire Risk
– If the engine malfunctions in any
way, which may be indicated by a
change in sound, or the illumination
of the malfunction indicator lamp,
(see page 69), have the fault
diagnosed and repaired promptly.
Continuing to drive a vehicle with
an engine misfire could cause a
catalytic converter to overheat. This
could cause heat damage to other
components and/or an engine bay
fire
– DO NOT park or drive the car in areas
where combustible material, such
as dry grass or leaves, could come
into contact with the hot exhaust
system. Under certain wind and
weather conditions a grass fire could
be started.
– DO NOT tamper with any electrical
components with the battery
connected. You could receive an
electric shock or start a fire.
– DO NOT use the vehicle if a fuel
or oil leak is suspected, as may be
indicated by a persistent smell of fuel
or oil. Have the fault diagnosed and
rectified without delay. A fuel leak
may result in a fire or explosion.
– DO NOT touch or approach any part
of a hot exhaust system. Severe
burns could result.
Engine Compartment
WARNING: If checking or
adjusting any engine bay
equipment with the engine
running, take all suitable
precautions to Keep clothing,
hands, hair, other body parts,
loose clothing and tools away
from drive belts, pulleys, and
fans. Some fans may continue to
operate, or start operating, after
the motor is switched off.
