nents, switch off the power supply, for example by
means of fuses or residual current circuit-breakers
on the vehicle's main distribution board�
Prevent the power supply from being switched back

External power supply should be prevented for this
purpose� For example, insert a blanking plug with
the warning "Caution! Electrical work under way in
the vehicle" into the external socket�
