IMPORTANT SERVICE INFORMATION:
^ HEV vehicles have unique operating characteristics. The internal combustion engine has a higher frequency of start/stop cycles than a conventional vehicle.
^ Under certain customer driving patterns this high frequency of start/stop engine cycles can result in increased carbon build up on the exhaust valves and/or exhaust ports. Sometimes these carbon deposits may cause the engine to run rough.
^ The amount of carbon build up is highly dependent on the driving pattern of the customer.
^ Carbon build up is not always the root cause of a rough running HEV engine.
IMPORTANT:
The purpose of ACTION (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire Service Procedure as it contains information that is essential to successfully completing this repair.
