& WARN ING (continued )
• The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
hazardous area . Never rea ch into the area around or to uch the
radiator fan . It is temperature controlled and can sw itch on
suddenly -even when the engine is off and the ignition key has
been removed . The radiator fan switches on automatically when
the coolant reaches a certain temperature and will continue to run until the coolant tempe rature drops .
• Always remove the ignition key before anyone gets under the
vehi cle .
• Always support your vehicle with safety stands if it is neces
sary to work underneath the vehicle . The jack suppl ied with the
vehicle is not adequate for this purpose and could collap se
causing serious personal injury .
• If you must work underneath the vehicle with the wheels on
the ground, always make sure the veh icle is on level ground , that
the wheels are always securely blocked and that the engine
cannot be sta rted .
• Always make sure the tr ansmission selector lever (automatic
transmission) is in "P" (Park position ) and the p ark brake is firmly
applied.
W For the sake of the environment
• Cha ng ing the e ngin e sett ings will a dverse ly aff ect em iss ion

co nsump tion .
• Always observe environmenta l regu lations when disposing of
o ld eng ine oil, u sed bra ke flu id, d irty eng ine coo la nt, spent batter ies
or worn out tires.
• Undeployed airbag modul es and pretensioners might be classi
