WARNING
●After the hybrid system has been
turned off, check that the “READY”
indicator is off. When the hybrid sys-
tem is operating, the gasoline engine
may automatically start, or the cooling
fan may suddenly operate even if the
gasoline engine stops. Do not touch or
approach rotating parts such as the
fan, which may lead to fingers or cloth-
ing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muf-
fler) getting caught, resulting in serious
injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir
cap while the hybrid system and radia-
tor are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power control
unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the hybrid sys-
tem has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot hybrid system too
quickly can cause damage to the hybrid
system.
■To prevent damage to the cooling sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with
foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
If the vehicle becomes stuck
Carry out the following proce-
dures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

WARNING
■Cautions during customization
As the hybrid system needs to be operat-
ing during customizatio n, ensure that the
vehicle is parked in a place with ade-
quate ventilation. In a closed area such as
a garage, exhaust gases including harm-
ful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect
and enter the vehicle. This may lead to
death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■During customization
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge,
ensure that the hybrid system is operat-
ing while customizing features.
