Servicing Precautions - Aston Martin DB9 2006 Manual

Servicing Precautions

To avoid personal injury, the following safety precautions
must be observed when the bonnet is open and the engine is
running or the ignition is switched on.
Warning
Protect yourself against dangerous substances (Refer to
'Dangerous Substances').
Warning
Keep hands, hair, tools, items of clothing and jewellery
clear of all drive belts, pulleys and operating
mechanisms. The cooling fans may operate even though
the engine is not running.
12.4
Warning
Do not breathe exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas,
which is colourless and odourless and can cause
unconsciousness and may be fatal. Never start or leave
the engine running in an enclosed, unventilated area.
Warning
Avoid skin contact with all exhaust system and engine
components, engine fluids and escaping steam. They may
be hot and will burn you.
Warning
Do not work beneath the vehicle with a vehicle lifting
jack as the only support. Place suitable stands under the
vehicle.
Warning
Keep children and pets clear of the vehicle. Do not allow
anyone inside the vehicle unless specifically working to
your instructions.
Warning
Whenever possible work in the engine compartment
with the engine cool, the ignition switched off and the
vehicle battery disconnected.
Warning
Petrol is highly flammable and, in confined spaces, is
also explosive and toxic. In the event of spillage, switch
off the engine, use no naked flame or light. Do not
smoke. Do not inhale fumes.
