1.1 Safety Precautions General Information
Risk of accident due to the vehicle rolling.
When working on a vehicle, it always needs to be secured
against rolling.
– Automatic transmission/dual clutch transmission: select “P”.
– Manual transmission: engage 1st gear.
– Set the parking brake.
There is a risk of injury due to the radiator fan.
Body parts can be pinched or pulled in if the radiator fan starts
running by itself.
– When working near the radiator, maintain a distance from
the radiator fan.
– Do not reach into the radiator fan when disconnecting the
connector.

There is a risk of injury due to UV radiation and glare.
Eye and skin damage are possible when the headlamps are
turned on.
– Do not look into the beam of light.
– Turn off the ignition and all electrical equipment.
– Place the vehicle key and other start authorization systems
(such as smartphones) outside of the vehicle.
– Do not operate the flashers.
– Only assemble the LED headlamps according to the repair
manual.
1.2 Safety Precautions when Working on Vehicles with High-Voltage System
High voltage increases the risk of fatal injury
The high-voltage system is under high voltage. Electrocution
can cause severe bodily or fatal injury.
– When working on the high-voltage system, the high-voltage
system must be de-energized.
– Have a high-voltage technician (HVT) or a high-voltage ex‐
pert (HVE) de-energize the high-voltage system.
– Note the work procedures that require the system to be de-
