CHECKING LEVELS
Be careful not to confuse the various types of flu-
ids while topping up: they are all incompatible with
each other and may severely damage your car.
Never smoke while working in the engine com-
partment: flammable gases may be present. Risk
of fire.
Proceed very carefully inside the engine compart-
ment when the engine is hot: risk of burns. Re-
member that the fan may start up if the engine is
hot: this could injure you. Make sure that scarves, ties and
other loose fitting garments do not get caught up in mov-
ing parts.
