been immobilized. If you must work under-
neath the vehicle with the wheels in contact
with the ground then it should be parked on
flat ground, the wheels should be prevented
from moving and the key should be removed
from the ignition.

dent!. The jack is not intended for this kind of
work and its failure could lead to severe inju-
ries.

WARNING
The engine compartment is a dangerous area
capab
le of causing serious injury.
●
For all type of work, always take the utmost
precautions, work carefully and note the gen-
eral safety standards in force. Never take per-
sonal risks.
●
Never work on the engine or in the engine
compartment if you are not familiar with the

Working incorrectly can cause serious inju-
ries.
●
Never open the bonnet if you see steam or
coolant escaping from the engine compart-
ment. This may cause serious burns. Always
wait until you cannot see or hear the sound of
steam or coolant coming from the engine
compar
tment.
●
Always allow the engine to cool down be-
fore opening the bonnet.
●
Contact with hot elements of the engine
and the exhaust system can cause burns.
●
Once the engine has cooled, follow the in-
structions below before opening the bonnet:
–
Engage the handbrake and place the gear
selector lever in N or the gear stick in
neutral.
–
Remove the key from the ignition.
–
Keep children away from the engine com-
partment and never leave them unsuper-
vised.
●
When the engine is warm or hot, the cool-
ing system is pressurised. Do not unscrew
the cap on the expansion tank when the en-
gine is hot. Otherwise, coolant may spray out
under pressure causing burns and serious in-
jury.
–
After cooling, carefully and slowly un-
screw the cap anticlockwise, gently
pressing down on it.
–
Always protect your face, hands and arms
from hot coolant and steam using a large,
thick cloth.
●
When refilling liquids, avoid spilling them
on parts of the engine and the exhaust sys-
tem. Spilled liquids could cause a fire.
