cle is in motion. Otherwise the hood could
be forced open by passing air flow.
This could cause the hood to come loose
and injure you and others.
Opening
Warning!
If you see flames or smoke coming from the
engine compartment, or if the coolant tem-
perature display indicates that the engine is
overheated, do not open the hood. Move
away from vehicle and do not open the hood
until the engine has cooled. If necessary,
call the fire department.
Warning!

You could be injured when the hood is open
– even when the engine is switched off.
Parts of the engine can become very hot. To
prevent burns, let the engine cool off com-
pletely before touching any components on
the vehicle. Comply with all relevant safety
precautions.
Warning!

To help prevent personal injury, stay clear of
moving parts when the hood is open and the
engine is running.

approximately 30 seconds or even restart
after the engine has been turned off. Stay
clear of fan blades.

it is dangerous to touch any components
(ignition coils, spark plug sockets,
diagnostic socket) of the ignition system
with the engine running

if ignition is "on" and the engine is
turned manually
