Never spill fluids onto the engine. They could ignite on hot engine components and hence cause injuries.
Please note the following when carrying out any work on the fuel system or the electrical system:
- Always disconnect the vehicle battery. Ensure that the vehicle is unlocked when the vehicle battery is disconnected as otherwise the
anti-theft alarm will be activated.
- Never work in the direct proximity of heating systems, water heaters or any other open flames.
Always have a fully functional and tested fire extinguisher to hand.
NOTICE
When topping up or changing service fluids, ensure that you pour the correct service fluids into the correct openings. The use of incorrect
service fluids could result in serious malfunctions and engine damage.
Service fluids leaks are harmful to the environment. So you should regularly check the ground underneath your vehicle. If there are spots
of oil or other service fluids on the ground, the vehicle should be inspected by a qualified workshop. Any spilt service fluids must be disposed of
properly.
