2.1 Working on the fuel system
Risk of injury - fuel system operates under high pressure
The fuel system is pressurised. There is a risk of injury as fuel
may spray out.
Before opening the fuel system:
– Put on safety goggles.
– Put on protective gloves.
– Release pressure (wrap clean cloth around connection and
open connection carefully).
Risk of fire due to escaping fuel
If the battery is connected, the door contact switch activates the
fuel pump when the driver's door is opened. Escaping fuel may
ignite, causing a fire.
– Before opening the fuel system, disconnect power supply to
fuel pump.
2.2 Safety precautions when working on the ignition system
Risk of injury caused by electric shock
When the engine is running, there are high voltage levels in the
ignition system. There is a risk of electric shock when touching
the ignition system!
– Never touch or disconnect ignition wiring when the engine is
running or being turned at cranking speed.
Risk of damage to components
Washing the engine or connecting/disconnecting electrical wiring
may result in components being damaged if the engine is running.

– Switch off ignition before connecting/disconnecting electrical
wiring.
– Switch off ignition before washing engine.
2.3 Working on the cooling system
Risk of scalding as hot coolant can escape
The cooling system is under pressure when the engine is hot. Hot
steam/hot coolant can escape - risk of scalding.
– Wear protective gloves.
– Wear safety goggles.
– Release pressure (cover filler cap on coolant expansion tank
with a cloth and open carefully).
2.4 Working on vehicles with start/stop system
Risk of injury - engine may start unexpectedly
On vehicles with the start/stop system activated, the engine may
start unexpectedly. If the start/stop system is activated, this is in‐
dicated by a message on the dash panel insert.
– Deactivate start/stop system by switching off ignition.
2.5 Using testers and measuring instruments during a road test
Risk of injury if test equipment is not secured
If an accident occurs and the front passenger's airbag is triggered,
test equipment which is not secured adequately may be catapul‐
ted through the vehicle with potentially serious consequences.
– Secure test equipment on the rear seat with a strap.
Or
– Have a second mechanic operate test equipment on the rear
seat.
