ing instructions outlined below and with the general applicable safety rules.
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area!

gine compartment.
■
Turn off the engine and withdraw the ignition key.

Firmly apply the handbrake.
■
If the vehicle is fitted with a manual gearbox, move the gearshift lever into
Neutral, or if the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox, move the selec-
tor lever into position P.
■
Allow the engine to cool.
■
Never open the bonnet if you can see steam or coolant escaping from the
engine compartment – risk of scalding! Wait until no more steam or coolant is
escaping.

The following instructions must be followed when working in the engine com-
partment.
■
Keep children clear of the engine compartment.
■
Never touch the radiator fan while the engine is still warm. The fan might

Avoid contact with the coolant.
■
Coolant vapours are harmful to health.
■
Never open the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir while the en-

If any coolant splashes into your eyes, immediately rinse out your eyes with
clear water and contact a doctor as soon as possible.

particular out of the reach of children – risk of poisoning!
■
If coolant is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
■
Do not leave any items (e.g. cloths or tools) in the engine compartment.
■
Never spill fluids on the hot engine. Such fluids (e.g. the antifreeze con-
tained in the coolant) may ignite!
WARNING
The following warning instructions must be observed at all times when work-
ing in the engine compartment while the engine is running.

Pay particular attention to rotating engine parts (e.g. V-ribbed belt, genera-
tor, radiator fan) and the high-voltage ignition system – risk to life!
■
Never touch the electric wiring on the ignition system.
■
Avoid short circuits in the electrical system – particularly on the vehicle's
battery.

Always make sure that no jewellery, loose clothing or long hair can get
caught in rotating engine parts – risk to life! Always remove any jewellery, tie
back long hair and wear tight fitting clothing before completing any work.
