CAUTION

■

Exhaust pipes and rear bumper exhaust diffusers

Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes and rear bumper exhaust diffusers to

become quite hot. Therefore, do not touch them while the engine is running or

immediately after turning the engine off.

When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the exhaust pipes and rear

bumper exhaust diffusers until they have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust

pipes and diffusers can cause burns.
