2.  User Information

To increase effectiveness with the VCI, users should 
familiarize themselves with the format and information 
contained in this guide. Every attempt has been made 
to provide complete and accurate technical information 
based on factory service information available at the 
time of publication. However, the right is reserved to 
make changes at any time without notice.

Before starting up, connecting and operating Bosch 
products it is absolutely essential that the operating  

instructions/user manual and, in particular, the safety 
instructions are studied carefully. By doing so you can 
eradicate any uncertainties in handling Bosch products 
and thus associated safety risks upfront; something 
which is in the interests of your own safety and will ulti-
mately help avoid damage to the device. When a Bosch 
product is handed over to another person, not only the 
operating instructions but also the safety instructions 
and information on its designated use must be handed 
over to the person.

munication Interface.

 

!

This user manual is written for safe convenient setup 
and use of the product. We recommend that you ca-
refully read the manual prior to using the MTS 6513 
VCI and software.

DANGER – High Electrical Voltage

Certain risk of personal injury or death 

 

Always consult the vehicle's service manu-
al for safety precautions and procedures 
when working with high voltage vehicle 
systems and/or passive restraint devices 
such as airbags, pretensioners and other 
deployable devices.

WARNING – Dangerous Exhaust Gas

Possible risk of personal injury or death 

 

When performing any checks with the 
engine running in an enclosed space such 
as a garage, be sure there is proper ven-
tilation. Never inhale exhaust gases; they 
contain carbon monoxide - a colorless, 
odorless, extremely dangerous gas which 
can cause unconsciousness or death

WARNING – Parking Brake

Possible risk of personal injury

 

To help avoid personal injury, always set 
the parking brake securely and block 
the drive wheels before performing any 
checks or repairs on the vehicle.
