radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
There is a risk of injury when accessing the
engine compartment.
As far as possible, allow the engine to cool
down and only touch the components descri-
bed in the following.

ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.

over the filler neck. Allow the engine to cool
down and thoroughly clean the components
that have come into contact with engine oil
