Hot components
Caution
‧ Components of the engine and exhaust system

insulated gloves and wait until the vehicle is
cooling down.

it off immediately with water. If you get
battery acid in your eyes, flush it off
immediately with plenty of water and then go
to hospital to consult an ophthalmologist.

water or milk, and take some laxative such as
vegetable oil and then go to see a doctor.
