WARNING
• When working on the liquefied petroleum gas system
(LPG), the battery earth strap must be disconnected.
• After the service, installation and repair work on the gas
system (LPG), a leak tightness test on the liquified petro‐
leum gas system inspection must always be carried out
⇒ "3.17.3 Check LPG gas system for leaks", page 86
• Only system components of the same type and with the
same design approval for the manufacture can be re‐
placed.
• The components of the gas system, on which installation
work should be carried out, must first of all be emptied

be drained (outdoors, never close to buildings, reservoirs
or a drainage system).
Ice accretion occurs when draining gas - do not touch - risk of
accident.
♦ When undertaking all installation work, particularly in the
engine compartment due to its cramped construction,
please observe the following:
♦ Install the components of the liquefied petroleum gas sys‐
tem (LPG) in such a way that the original cable guide of
the natural gas system is re-established.
♦ Ensure that there is adequate free access to all moving or
hot components, in order to avoid damage to the cables
of the liquefied petroleum gas system (LPG).
♦ The cables on the liquefied petroleum gas system (LPG)
must not be bent.
Rules of cleanliness
For all tasks on the gas system, carefully pay attention to the fol‐
lowing "rules of cleanliness":
♦ Thoroughly clean the connection points and their surroundings
before releasing.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover.
♦ Do not use fluffy cloths!
♦ Carefully cover or close open components if the repair is not
completed immediately.
♦ Only install clean parts: remove spare parts from their wrap‐
ping immediately before installing. Do not use any parts which
have been stored unwrapped (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
♦ When the system is opened: Avoid using compressed air.
Avoid moving the vehicle.
