CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas
and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.
WARNING
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when
the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember that
the fan may start up if the engine is hot:
this could injure you. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
Be careful, when topping up, and take
care not to mix up the various types
of fluids: they are all incompatible with
one another and could seriously damage the
car.
