1-6 Warnings and Notices
Protective Goggles and Glove Warning
Warning: Approved safety glasses and gloves should be worn
when performing this procedure to reduce the chance of
personal injury.
Radiator Cap Removal Warning
Warning: To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator
cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot. The cooling
system will release scalding fluid and steam under pressure if
radiator cap or surge tank cap is removed while the engine and
radiator are still hot.
Cooling System Repair Warning
Warning: The cooling system is pressurized. The fluid is hotter
than boiled waster. If open the cap when the engine is not
cooled and the pressure is still very high, the engine coolant
will boil immediately and may spray onto the operators body,
causing serious burns.
Relieving Fuel Pressure Warning
Warning: Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system
pressure before servicing the fuel system in order to reduce the
risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system
pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the
connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover
the fuel system components with a shop towel before
disconnection. This will catch any fuel that may leak out. Place
the towel in an approved container when the disconnection is
complete.
Road Test Warning
Warning: Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while
obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any maneuvers that
could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these
precautions could lead to serious personal injury and vehicle
damage.
Safety Goggles and Fuel Warning
Warning: Always wear safety goggles when working with fuel
in order to protect the eyes from fuel splash.
SIR Warning
Warning: This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. Failure to follow the correct
procedure could cause the following conditions:
– Airbag deployment
EC718/EC718RV EC715/EC715RV 10/2009
– Personal injury
– Unnecessary SIR system repairs
Warning: In order to avoid the above conditions, observe the
following guidelines:
–
Refer to SIR Component Views in order to determine if you
are performing service on or near the SIR components or
the SIR wiring.
– If you are performing service on or near the SIR
components or the SIR wiring, disable the SIR system.
SIR Deployed Inflator Modules Are Hot
Warning
Warning: After deployment, the metal surfaces of the SIR
component may be very hot. To help avoid a fire or personal
injury:
–
Allow sufficient time for cooling before touching any metal
surface of the SIR component.
– Do not place the deployed SIR component near any
flammable objects.
SIR Inflator Module Coil Warning
Warning: Improper routing of the wire harness assembly may
damage the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil. This
may result in a malfunction of the coil, which may cause
personal injury.
SIR Inflator Module Disposal Warning
Warning: In order to prevent accidental deployment and the risk
of personal injury, do not dispose of an undeployed inflator
module as normal shop waste. Undeployed inflator modules
contain substances that could cause severe illness or personal
injury if their sealed containers are damaged during disposal.
Use the following deployment procedures to safely dispose of
an undeployed inflator module. Failure to observe the following
disposal methods may be a violation of federal, state, or local
laws.
SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage
Warning
Warning: When carrying an undeployed inflator module:
–
Do not carry the inflator module by the wires or connector.
– Make sure the air bag opening points away from you and
others.
