Maintenance and care
WARNING
The motor compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
■ When working on the motor compartment
● Be careful not to touch the high-voltage parts or hydrogen-rela ted parts.
● Make sure that the “READY” indicator is off.
● Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fans.
● Be careful not to touch the motor, inverter, radiator, etc., ri ght after driving
as they may be hot. Coolant and other fluids may also be hot.
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and r ags, in the
motor compartment.
● Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to the 12-volt bat-
tery. 12-volt battery fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely cautious when working on the 12-volt battery. It c ontains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
● Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high-voltage parts,
cables and their connectors. It can cause severe burns or electric shock
that may result in death or serious injury.
■ When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
