Engine components may become very hot.
To avoid burning yourself, only touch those
components listed as permissible in the
Owner's Manual, and observe the relevant
warning notes.
Vehicles with a petrol engine:
The engine has an electronic ignition system
which carries a high voltage. For this reason,
you must never touch any ignition system
components (ignition coil, ignition cables,
spark plug connections, test socket) while:
the engine is running
the engine is being started
the ignition is switched on and the en-
gine is being cranked by hand
The cooling fan can also run on automatical-
ly for up to ten minutes after the key has
been removed from the ignition. Keep away
from the area of rotation of the fan blades.
