To help prevent personal inju-
ry, stay clear of moving parts
when the hood is open and the

The engine is equipped with a
transistorized ignition system.
Because of the high voltage it
is highly dangerous to touch
any components (ignition coil,
distributor, spark plug sockets,
ignition cables, diagnostic
socket) of the ignition system
• if the ignition is "on" and the
engine turned manually
• while starting the engine
• with the engine running.
