If yo u open the hood when the engine has
ove rheated or during a fire inthe engine com‐
partment, you could come into con tact wi th
hot gases or other escaping operating fluids. #
Before opening the hood, allow the
engine tocool down. #
Intheeve nt of a fire inthe engine com‐
partment, keep the hood closed and call
th efire service. &
WARNING Risk of scalding from hot
coolant
The engine cooling sy stem is pressurized,
particular lywhen the engine is warm. If you
open the cap, you could be scalded byhot
coolant spr aying out. #
Letthe engine cool down before open‐
ing the cap. #
When opening the cap, wear pr otective

If yo u manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
yo ure place it with a fuse with a higher

your vehicle switch off
defective circuits. If a fuse blo ws, all the compo‐
nents on the circuit and their functions will cease
to operate.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of an
equivalent specification, which you can de ter‐
