WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS





Possible Dangers
Risk Of Accident
From vehicle starting off during starting operation (e.g. when testing compression pressure) as a result of gear engaged or when engine running and vehicles with automatic transmission as a result of selector lever position "P" or "N" not engaged (exception, some vehicles do not have a selector lever position "P").

Risk Of Injury
Severe Injuries may be caused by freely rotating parts in the area of the running engine. The heat produced by the engine when it is operating can result in severe burns if contact is made with individual, unshielded parts.

First Aid Measures In The Event Of Burns
^ Do not rub the skin areas affected; flush with plenty of cold water and cover skin with sterile bandages.
^ Immediately consult a physician.

Rules Of Conduct/Protective Measures
- As a general rule, carry out work on the running engine only if this is absolutely essential.
- Before starting the engine, apply parking brake.
- On models with manual transmission, move gearshift lever into Neutral position.
- On models with automatic transmission, move selector lever into position "P" or "N" (exception - some vehicles do not have a selector lever position '17").
- On models which do not have selector lever position "P", secure selector lever to prevent it from being operated unintentionally.
- Wear closed and close-fitting work clothes.
- Take off any jewelry, such as chains, rings etc.
- If you have long hair, wear a suitable head cover.
- Before commencing work on the running engine, check to obtain a general picture of the positioning of parts which may be hot.
- When carrying out work when starting the engine or when engine is running, do not touch any hot and rotating parts.
