Servicing Precautions - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 Manual

Servicing Precautions

To avoid personal injury, the following safety precautions must be
observed when the hood is open and the engine is running or the
ignition is ON.
Warning: Protect yourself against dangerous substances
(Refer to 'Dangerous Substances', page 11.5).
Warning: Keep hands, hair, tools, items of clothing and
jewelry clear of all drive belts, pulleys and operating
mechanisms. The cooling fans may operate even though the
engine is not running.
Warning: Avoid skin contact with all exhaust system and
engine components, engine fluids and escaping steam. They may
be hot and will burn you.
11.4
Warning: Do not breathe exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas,
which is colorless and odorless and can cause unconsciousness
and may be fatal. Never start or leave the engine running in an
enclosed, unventilated area.
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 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, set the engine
to OFF, use no naked flame or light. Do not smoke. Do not
inhale fumes.
