12-3
Please take the following precautions when servic-
ing your vehicle:
• Make sure the vehicle is on safe, level ground.
• Prevent the vehicle from moving by pulling the
parking brake lever and blocking the wheels
with chocks.
• Remove the starter key unless you need to run
the engine.
• Take off wristwatches, rings, and neckties, and
wear clothing that will not obstruct movement or
snag on parts of the vehicle.
• Wear all safety gear necessary for your task, for
example, hard hat or goggles.
• Use the correct tools for your task.
• Do not make adjustments or repairs unless you
know exactly what you are doing. For servicing
that is difficult or not shown in this manual, take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
• When servicing electrical equipment, disconnect
the negative terminal (–) of the battery.
CAUTION
• Replace filters and filter elements regularly.
Blocked or damaged filters and elements
can reduce the engine’s power and impair its
operation. Always use genuine parts for
replacements. Also, oils and greases should
be those recommended in this manual. Use
of non-genuine parts, or oil and grease not
recommended, may lead to failures.
P. 14-3
• When replacing the oil or coolant, be sure to
have a container suitable for catching
drained fluid ready.
• Dispose of drained oil and coolant in the
specified manner. Disposing of them irre-
sponsibly could cause environmental harm.
• The DPF contains a catalytic converter. Do
not kick or knock the DPF since the inside
catalyst and ceramic filter could be dam-
aged.
Water collecting in the DPF is slightly acidic
and should not be touched. If you touch this
water, rinse it off under a faucet.
• Put away all tools and rags after use. Items
left in the engine bay could get hot and
catch fire.
