Risk of injury
G
There is a risk of injury if the bonnet is open,
even when the engine is not running.
Engine components may become very hot.
To avoid burning yourself, only touch those
components listed as permissible in the
Owner's Manual, and observe the relevant
warning notes.
The engine has an electronic ignition system
which carries a high voltage. For this reason
you must never touch any ignition system
components (ignition coil, ignition cables,
spark plug connections, test socket) while:
앫
the engine is running
앫
the engine is being started
앫
the ignition is switched on and the en-
gine is being cranked by hand
The cooling fan may also start at any time
automatically, even after the key has been
removed from the ignition. For this reason,
do not reach into the fan's area of rotation.
The exhaust areas on the engine hood and
between the doors and front wheels get very
hot. Avoid contact with them, otherwise
there is the risk of severe burns.
