Checking and refilling levels
according to the engine temperature and
could star
t suddenly even when the ignition
is turned off and the key is removed.
●
If any work has to be performed when the
engine is started or with the engine running,
there is an additional, potentially fatal,
safety risk from rotating parts, such as the
drive belts, alternator, radiator fan, etc., as
well as from the high-voltage ignition sys-
tem. Always work with the utmost caution.
–
Always make sure that no parts of your
body, jewellery, ties, loose clothing and
long hair can be trapped by the rotat-
ing parts of the engine. Before any
work, remove ties and jewellery (neck-
laces, etc), tie long hair back and tie all
items of loose clothing to your body to
make sure that they cannot be trapped
by engine components.
–
Take extreme caution when operating
the accelerator and remain attentive.
The vehicle could move, even with the
electronic parking brake activated.
●
Always make sure you have not left any
objects, such as cleaning cloths and tools,
in the engine compartment. If any object is
left in the engine compartment, this could
cause malfunctions, engine faults and even
a fire.
WARNING
Refill liquids and certain materials can
catch fire easily in the engine compar
t-
ment, causing a fire and serious injury!
●
Never smoke.
●
Never work close to places exposed to
flames or sparks.
●
Never pour service fluids over the engine.

If it is necessary to work on the fuel sys-
tem or the electrical system, please follow
the instructions below:
–
Always disconnect the vehicle battery.
When disconnecting the battery, en-
sure that the vehicle is unlocked other-

Never work close to heaters, heat sour-
ces or places exposed to flames or
sparks.
●
Always keep a recently serviced and per-
fectly working fire extinguisher close by.
●
Never cover the engine with additional in-
sulating materials such as a blanket. Risk of
fire!
CAUTION
When refilling or changing service liquids,
ensure that you put the liquids into the right
t
ank. Making a mistake when refilling could
cause serious malfunctions and damage
the engine!
For the sake of the environment
Service fluids leaks are harmful to the envi-
r
onment. For this r
eason you should make
regular checks on the ground underneath
your vehicle. Take the vehicle to a special-
ised workshop to be checked if you see
stains, oil or other fluids on the ground.
Collect any spilt service fluids and allow a
professional to dispose of them.
