WARNING
•
The cooling fan (located at the front of
the engine compartment, behind the radi-
ator) may start or continue to operate (for
up to 6 minutes) after the engine has
been switched off.
•
Engine cleaning should only be done by a
workshop. If engine cleaning agents are
used when the engine has been running,
there may a fire risk.
•
Before performing any operations in the
engine compartment, the ignition should
always be completely switched off (in
mode 0) and there should be no remote
keys in the passenger compartment. The
gear selector should be in the P (park)
position. If the engine has been running,
wait until it has cooled before touching
any components in the engine compart-
ment.
•
The distributor ignition system operates
at very high voltages. Special safety pre-
cautions must be followed to prevent
injury. Always turn the ignition off when
replacing distributor ignition components
e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
•
Do not touch any part of the distributor
ignition system while the engine is run-
ning. This may result in unintended move-
ments and body injury.
