safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the hazard level.

Safety Instructions
The safety messages herein cover situations Autel is aware of. Autel cannot know, evaluate or
advise you as to all of the possible hazards. You must be certain that any condition or service
procedure encountered does not jeopardize your personal safety.
DANGER
When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or attach a building
exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system. Engines produce carbon monoxide, an
odorless, poisonous gas that causes slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal
injury or loss of life.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine
parts.
Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area, for exhaust gases are poisonous.
Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual
transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while
testing.
Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and
spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical fires nearby.
Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is
running.
Keep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on
a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment as necessary.
Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time. Any distraction
may cause an accident.
