Fuel handling precautions
Fuel vapour is highly inflammable and in confined 
spaces is also explosive and toxic. The vapour is 
heavier than air and will always fall to the lowest 
level. The vapour can easily be distributed 
throughout a workshop by air currents; 
consequently, even a small spillage of fuel is 
potentially very dangerous.
The following information provides basic precautions 
which must be observed if petrol (gasoline) is to be 
handled safely. It also outlines other areas of  risk 
which must not be ignored. This information is issued 
for basic guidance only, if in doubt consult your local 
Fire Officer.
General
Always have a fire extinguisher containing FOAM, 
CO
2, GAS or POWDER close at hand when handling 
or draining fuel or when dismantling fuel systems. 
Fire extinguishers should also be located in areas 
where fuel containers are stored.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery before 
carrying out dismantling or draining work on a fuel 
system.
Whenever fuel is being handled, drained or stored, or 
when fuel systems are being dismantled, all forms of 
ignition must be extinguished or removed; any 
leadlamps must be flameproof and kept clear of 
spillage.
WARNING: No one should be permitted to repair 
components associated with fuel without first 
having specialist training.
WARNING: Do not remove fuel system 
components while the vehicle is over a pit.Fuel tank draining
Fuel tank draining should be carried out in 
accordance with the procedure outlined in the FUEL 
DELIVERY  section of this manual and observing the 
following precautions:
WARNING: Fuel must not be extracted or drained 
from any vehicle while it is over a pit. Extraction 
or draining of fuel must be carried out in a well 
ventilated area.
The capacity of containers must be more than 
adequate for the amount of fuel to be extracted or 
drained. The container should be clearly marked 
with its contents and placed in a safe storage 
area which meets the requirements of local 
authority regulations.
WARNING: When fuel has been drained from a 
fuel tank the precautions governing naked lights 
and ignition sources should be maintained.
Fuel tank removal
When the fuel line is secured to the fuel tank outlet by 
a spring steel clip,  the clip must be released before 
the fuel line is disconnected or the fuel  tank is 
removed. This procedure will avoid the possibility of 
residual petrol  fumes in the fuel tank being ignited 
when the clip is released.
As an added precaution, fuel tanks should have a 
'FUEL VAPOUR'  warning label attached to them as 
soon as they are removed from the vehicle.
Fuel tank repairs
No attempt should be made to repair a plastic fuel 
tank. If the structure of the tank is damaged, a new 
tank must be fitted.
Body repairs
Plastic fuel pipes are particularly susceptible to heat, 
even at relatively low temperature, and can be 
melted by heat conducted from some distance away.
When body repairs involve the use of heat, all fuel 
pipes which run in the vicinity of the repair area must 
be removed, and the tank outlet plugged.

Electrical precautions
General
The following guidelines are intended to ensure the 
safety of the operator and ensure the prevention of 
damage to the electrical and electronic components 
fitted to the vehicle. Where necessary, specific 
precautions are detailed in the individual procedures 
of this manual.
Equipment
Prior to commencing any test procedure on the 
vehicle, ensure that the relevant test equipment is 
working correctly and any harness or connectors are 
in good condition. It is particularly important to check 
the condition of the lead and plugs of mains operated 
equipment.
Polarity
Never reverse connect the vehicle battery and 
always ensure the correct polarity when connecting 
test equipment.
High Voltage Circuits
Whenever disconnecting live ht circuits, always use 
insulated pliers and never allow the open end of the 
ht lead to contact other components, particularly 
ECU's.
Exercise caution when measuring the voltage on the 
coil terminals while the engine is running, high 
voltage spikes can occur on these terminals.
Connectors and harnesses 
The engine compartment of a vehicle is a particularly 
hostile environment for electrical components and 
connectors:
lAlways ensure electrically related items are dry 
and oil free before disconnecting and 
connecting test equipment.
lEnsure disconnected multiplugs and sensors 
are protected from being contaminated with oil, 
coolant or other solutions. Contamination could 
impair performance or result in catastrophic 
failure.
lNever force connectors apart using tools to 
prise apart or by pulling on  the wiring harness.
lAlways ensure locking tabs are disengaged 
before disconnection, and match orientation to 
enable correct reconnection.
lEnsure that any protection (covers, insulation 
etc.) is replaced if disturbed.Having confirmed a component to be faulty:
lSwitch off the ignition and disconnect the 
battery.
lRemove the component and support the 
disconnected harness.
lWhen replacing the component, keep oily hands 
away from electrical connection areas and push 
connectors home until any locking tabs fully 
engage.
Battery disconnection
Before disconnecting the battery, disable the alarm 
system and switch off all electrical equipment. If the 
radio is to be serviced, ensure the security code has 
been deactivated.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical 
components, always disconnect the battery 
when working on the vehicle's electrical system. 
The ground lead must be disconnected first and 
reconnected last.
CAUTION: Always ensure that battery leads are 
routed correctly and are not close to any 
potential chafing points.
Battery charging
Only recharge the battery with it removed from the 
vehicle. Always ensure any battery charging area is 
well ventilated and that every  precaution is taken to 
avoid naked flames and sparks.
Ignition system safety precautions
The vehicle's ignition system produces high voltages 
and the following precautions should be observed 
before carrying out any work on the system:
WARNING: Before commencing work on an 
ignition system, ensure all high tension 
terminals, adapters and diagnostic equipment 
are adequately insulated and shielded to prevent 
accidental personal contacts and minimise the 
risk of shock. Wearers of surgically implanted 
pacemaker devices should not be in close 
proximity of ignition circuits or diagnostic 
equipment. 

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-20
Disciplines
Switch off the ignition prior to making any connection 
or disconnection in the system, to prevent electrical 
surges caused by disconnecting 'live' connections 
damaging electronic components.
Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free 
of grease, swarf, etc. Grease collects dirt which can 
cause electrical tracking (short-circuits) or high-
resistance contacts.
When handling printed circuit boards, treat with care 
and hold by the edges only; note that some electronic 
components are susceptible to body static.
Connectors should never be subjected to forced 
removal or refit, especially  inter-board connectors. 
Damaged contacts can cause short-circuit and  
open-circuit fault conditions.
Prior to commencing test, and periodically during a 
test, touch a good vehicle body earth to discharge 
static charge. Some electronic components are  
vulnerable to the static electricity that may be 
generated by the operator.
Grease for electrical connectors
Some under bonnet and under body connectors may 
be protected against corrosion by the application of a 
special grease during vehicle production. Should 
connectors be disturbed in service, or repaired or 
replaced, additional grease should be re-applied: 
Part No. BAU 5811, available in 150 gm tubs.
NOTE: The use of greases other than BAU 5811 
must be avoided as they can migrate into relays, 
switches etc. contaminating the contacts and leading 
to intermittent operation or failure.
Supplementary restraint system 
precautions
General
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) 
provides active protection for vehicle occupants in 
the event of a serious collision. The system  
components include airbags and pre-tensioner seat 
belts which are automatically deployed when a 
severe frontal crash condition is detected. 
The SRS pyrotechnic components could be 
potentially hazardous to the service engineer if not 
handled correctly. The following guidelines are 
intended to alert the service engineer to potential 
sources of danger and emphasise the importance of 
ensuring the integrity of SRS components fitted to 
the vehicle.
In order to assure system integrity, it is essential that 
the SRS system is regularly checked and maintained 
so that it is ready for operation in the event of an 
accident.
Where necessary, additional specific precautions are 
detailed in the relevant  sections of this Manual which 
should be referred to prior to commencing repair  
operations.
WARNING: Always follow the 'SRS Precautions' 
and the correct procedures for working on SRS 
components.  Persons working on SRS systems 
must be fully trained and have been issued with 
copies of the Safety guidelines.
WARNING: It is imperative that before any work 
is undertaken on the SRS system the appropriate 
information is read thoroughly.
WARNING: The airbag module contains sodium 
azide which is poisonous and extremely 
flammable. Contact with water, acid or heavy 
metals may produce harmful or explosive 
compounds. Do not dismantle, incinerate or 
bring into contact with electricity, before the unit 
has been deployed.
WARNING: Always replace a seat belt assembly 
that has withstood the strain of a severe vehicle 
impact, or if the webbing shows signs of fraying.
WARNING: Always disconnect the vehicle 
battery before carrying out any electric welding 
on a vehicle fitted with an SRS system.
CAUTION: Do not expose an airbag module or 
seat belt pre-tensioner to heat exceeding 85º C 
(185º F). 

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-21
It should be noted that these precautions are not 
restricted to operations performed when servicing 
the SRS system, the same care should be exercised  
when working on ancillary systems and components 
located in the vicinity of SRS components; these 
include but are not limited to:
lSteering system – steering wheel airbag, 
rotary coupler.
lFront fascia –  passenger front airbag (where 
fitted); SRS DCU behind centre console, on 
transmission tunnel under the HeVAC system.
lFront seats –  seat belt pre-tensioners, integral 
with seat belt buckle assembly.
lElectrical system –  SRS harnesses, link leads 
and connectors.
Making the SRS system safe
Before working on or in the vicinity of SRS 
components, ensure the system is rendered safe by 
performing the following procedures:
lRemove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
lDisconnect both battery leads, earth lead first.
lWait 10 minutes for the SRS DCU back-up 
power circuit to discharge.
The SRS system uses energy reserve capacitors 
that keep the system active in  the event of electrical 
supply failure under crash conditions. It is necessary 
to allow the capacitor sufficient time to discharge (10 
minutes) in order to  avoid the risk of accidental 
deployment.
WARNING: Always disconnect both battery leads 
before beginning work on the SRS system. 
Disconnect the negative battery lead first. Never 
reverse connect the battery.Installation
In order to assure system integrity, it is essential that 
the SRS system is regularly checked and maintained 
so that it is ready for effective operation in the event 
of a collision. Carefully inspect SRS components 
before installation. Do not install a part that shows 
signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such 
as dents, cracks or deformation.
WARNING: The integrity of SRS system 
components is critical for safety reasons. Ensure 
the following precautions are always adhered to:
lNever install used SRS components from 
another vehicle or attempt to repair an SRS 
component.
lWhen repairing an SRS system only use 
genuine new parts.
lNever apply electrical power to an SRS 
component unless instructed to do so as 
part of an approved test procedure.
lSpecial Torx bolts are necessary for 
installing the airbag module — do not use 
other bolts. Ensure bolts are tightened to the 
correct torque.
lAlways use new fixings when replacing an 
SRS component.
lEnsure the SRS Diagnostic Control Unit 
(DCU) is always installed correctly. There 
must not be any gap between the DCU and 
the bracket to which it is mounted. An 
incorrectly mounted DCU could cause the 
system to malfunction.
CAUTION: Ensure SRS components are not 
contaminated with oil, grease, detergent or 
water.
Ensure that SRS component fixings are correctly 
positioned and   torqued during service and repair.
CAUTION: Torque wrenches should be regularly 
checked for accuracy to ensure that all fixings 
are tightened to the correct torque.
If you suspect an airbag assembly could be 
defective, install a new   unit and dispose of the old 
unit. Manually deploy the old unit before  disposal.

VEHICLE RECOVERY
Observe the following procedures for vehicle towing 
after a collision has taken place:
Towing – SRS components not deployed
Normal towing procedures are unlikely to cause an 
SRS module to deploy. However, as a precaution, 
switch the ignition off and then disconnect both 
battery leads. Disconnect the negative '-' lead first.
Towing – SRS components deployed
Once the driver's airbag has been deployed, the 
vehicle must have a front suspended tow. However, 
as a precaution, switch the ignition off and then 
disconnect both battery leads. Disconnect the 
negative '-' lead first.
