When checking or servicing in the engine compartment (non-turbo models)
- Do not contact the belt cover while checking the components in the engine compartment.
Doing so may cause your hand to slip off the belt cover and result in an unexpected injury.
- Do not touch the oil filter until the engine has cooled down completely.
Doing so may result in a burn or other injury. Note that the oil filter becomes very hot when the engine is running and remains hot for some time after the engine has stopped.
