Particular care should be
taken
when working in the engine
com
partment!
•
Switch off engine, remove ignition key.

Move gear lever into neutral or
"P"

•
Allow engine to cool off.
•
As long as the engine is at op
erating temperature:
-
Do not put your hand into the radiator fan, it could switch on
suddenly.
-
Do not open the radiator cap be
cause
the cooling system is
under
pressure.
•
Avoid causing short circuits in
the electrical system - particular ly at the
battery
-.
•
If tests have to be
carried
out
with
the engine running,
there
is
an additional danger
present
from rotating parts - e.g.
V-belts,
generator, radiator fan etc. - and
from the high voltage ignition
system.
Attention must be paid to the warnings given in this Instruc
tion Manual and to the generally
applicable
safety regulations.
When topping up fluids one
should
ensure
that
they are not mistaken,
one
for the other, under any
circum
stances,
otherwise serious
func
tional defects
will
result.
So
that
leaks
are quickly de
tected
the ground underneath
the vehicle should be checked
reg
ularly.
If spots as caused by oil or
other
operating fluids can be seen, the vehicle should be
taken
to the
workshop for checking.
