Take care not to cause short circuits in the
●
electrical system, especially when working
on the battery.
Never touch the radiator fan when the en-
●
gine is hot. The fan may start running sud-
denly!
Never cover the engine with additional in-
●
sulating materials such as a blanket. Risk of
fire!
Do not unscrew the cap on the coolant ex-
●
pansion tank when the engine is hot. The
cooling system is under pressure!
Protect face, hands and arms from any hot
●
steam or hot coolant released by covering the
cap with a large, thick rag when opening the
expansion tank.
●
Do not leave any objects, such as cloths or
tools, in the engine compartment.
When working underneath the vehicle, se-
●
cure it so that it cannot roll away and support
it safely on suitable supports. The hydraulic
jack is not sufficient for this purpose. Risk of
injuries!
If any tests have to be performed with the
●
engine running, there is an extra safety risk
from rotating parts, such as the drive belt, al-
ternator and radiator fan, etc., and from the
high-voltage ignition system. You should also
note the following:
Never touch the electrical wiring of the
–
ignition system.
Keep away from moving engine parts
–
when wearing jewellery, loose clothing or
long hair. Risk of fatal injuries! All jewel-
