Maintenance and care
CAUTION
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury.
nWhen working on the engine compartment
lKeep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine
drive belt.
lBe 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.
lDo not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the
engine compartment.
lDo not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the bat−
tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
lBe extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
nWhen working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the ignition is off. With the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in IGNI−
TION ON mode, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the
air conditioning is on and/or if the coolant temperature is high.
(P. 383)
nWhen working on or under the vehicle
lDo not get under the vehicle with just the jack supporting it.
Always use automotive jack stands or other solid supports.
lUse eye protection to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from
getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
nIf you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air. Also a backfire could cause a fire in the engine compart−
ment.

Oil viscosity:
l
The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic
of the oil which allows cold startab ility. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
lThe 20 in 0W−20 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is as its oper−
ating temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited
if the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con−
dition.
