a Judge if the noise is an internal noise or an external
noise before starting troubleshooting.
a The engine is operated in the low-temperature mode
while it is not warmed up sufficiently. Accordingly, the
engine sound becomes a little larger. This does not indi-
cate abnormality, however.
a When the engine is accelerated, it is operated in the
acceleration mode and its sound becomes a little larger
for up to about 3 seconds. This does not indicate abnor-
mality, however.
