gaged with the vehicle stationary . The vehi
cle could otherwise start moving immedi
ately (in some cases even if the parking
brake is engaged) and possibly cause an ac
cident.

Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu
ids can cause a fire (e.g. radiator anti
freeze).
- Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system, especially when working
on the battery.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off-risk of injury!
- Do not unscrew the cap on the expansion
tank when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is under pressure.
- Protect face, hands and arms by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag to protect
against escaping coolant and steam.
- Never remove the engine cover panel -risk
of burns!
- If any tests have to be performed with the
engine running, there is an extra safety risk
from the rotating parts, such as the drive
belts, alternator and radiator fan, etc., and
from the high-voltage ignition system.
- Vehicles with automatic gearbox: Never
open the throttle inadvertently (for instance
by hand from the engine compartment) if a
gear is engaged while the vehicle is station
ary with the engine running. The vehicle
could otherwise start moving immediately
and possibly cause an accident.
- Observe the following additional warnings if
work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary:
- Always disconnect the battery.
- Do not smoke.
- Never work near naked flames.
- Always keep an approved fire extinguisher
immediately available.
