WARNING
If the ECO start/stop function is activated,
the engine can be started unintentionally, e.g.
by accidentally depressing the clutch pedal. If
work is being carried out on the engine under
these circumstances, there is a risk of injury
from moving engine parts.
Deactivate the ECO start/stop function
before work is carried out on the engine.

WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised, particu-
larly when the engine is warm. If you open the

sprays out. There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open the
cap. Wear gloves and eye protection. Open
the cap slowly to release the pressure.

WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment could be very hot, e.g. the engine, the
radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
There is a risk of injury when accessing the
engine compartment.
As far as possible, allow the engine to cool
down and only touch the components descri-
bed in the following.

the coolant level when the coolant tempera-
ture is too high can lead to damage to the
