Safety Measures For Working On Vehicles With Start/Stop System - Skoda Octavia III 2013 Workshop Manual

Caution
When undertaking all assembly work, particularly in the engine
compartment due to its cramped construction, please observe
the following:
♦ Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, acti‐
vated charcoal filter system, coolant and refrigerant, brake
fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring in their original po‐
sitions.
♦ Ensure that there is adequate free access to all moving or
hot components.
♦ Clean connection points and their environment thoroughly with
engine or brake cleaner and dry the cleaned area thoroughly
before loosening.
♦ Open closed lines and connections immediately with suitable
screen caps.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Use only
lint-free cloths!
♦ Only install clean parts: Remove spare parts from their wrap‐
ping immediately before fitting. Do not use any parts which
have been stored unwrapped (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
♦ When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air.
Avoid moving the vehicle.
♦ Protect electrical plug connections from dirt and moisture and
only connect them when dry.
♦ The extraction hose of an exhaust extraction system which is
switched on, must be positioned close to the assembly open‐
ing of the fuel tank in order to extract the released fuel vapours,
even before the work is commenced. If no exhaust extraction
system is available, a radial fan (motor not in air flow of fan)
with a delivery volume of more than 15 m
♦ Prevent skin contact with fuel!
♦ Wear fuel-resistant gloves!
2.2 Safety measures for working on vehi‐
cles with start/stop system
When working on vehicles with start/stop system, please observe
the following:
WARNING
There is risk of injury from automatic engine starting on vehi‐
cles with start/stop system.
♦ In vehicles with an activated start-stop system (indicated
by a message in the dash panel insert), the engine can
start automatically if necessary.
♦ It is therefore necessary to ensure that the start-stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when carrying out work on the vehicle
(switch ignition off, if required switch ignition on again).
