CAUTION
■ When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The motor compartment will be very hot.
● Keep hands and clothing away from the fan, etc. while the EV system is
operating.
● Even if EV system has stopped, the cooling fan may begin to move sud-
denly. Do not touch or approach the rotating parts of the fan. Doing so may
lead to fingers, clothes or tools getting caught, resulting in injury.
● Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap
while the EV system and radiator are
hot.
High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
