Caution: Be careful when working in the engine compartment!
- Before work, turn off the engine, remove the key from the ignition switch
- Put the car on the handbrake
- Place the gearshift lever in neutral (automatic transmission selector lever in position "P")
- Allow the engine to cool. If the engine is hot, keep your hands and other objects away from the radiator fan, as it may suddenly turn on; do not open the expansion tank cap as the cooling system is under pressure.
- Avoid short-circuiting electrical equipment - especially the battery.
- If any check is performed with the engine running, additional danger comes from rotating parts - belts, generator, fan, etc., as well as from high voltage in the ignition system.
- When working, ensure that general safety rules are observed.
- When adding technical fluids, do not mix them up - otherwise serious malfunctions may occur.
- In order to detect leaks of technical fluids in a timely manner, regularly look under the car. If you notice oil or other liquid on the ground under the car, have the car checked at a service station.
