SAFETY IN THE GARAGE
If the vehicle has been driven
recently, do not touch exhaust and
cooling system components until the
engine has cooled.
Never leave the engine running in an
unventilated area.
Do not work beneath the vehicle with a
jack as the only means of support.
Keep your hands and clothing away
from drive belts, pulleys and fans.
Some fans may continue to operate
after the engine has stopped.
Remove metal wrist bands and
jewellery, before working in the
engine compartment.
Do not touch electrical leads or
components while the engine is
running, or with the starter switch
turned on.
Do not allow tools or metal parts of the
vehicle to make contact with the
battery leads or terminals.
FUEL SYSTEM
Under no circumstances should any
part of the fuel system be dismantled
or replaced by anyone other than a
suitably qualified vehicle technician.
Ensure sparks and naked lights are
kept away from the engine
compartment.
Wear protective clothing, including,
where practicable, gloves made from
an impervious material.
USED ENGINE OIL
Prolonged contact with engine oil may cause
serious skin disorders, including dermatitis
and cancer of the skin. Always wash
thoroughly after contact.
OPENING THE BONNET
Do not attempt to open the bonnet if the
pedestrian protection system has
deployed.

the left-hand front footwell.
2. Lift the bonnet safety catch lever located
below the centre point of the bonnet, and
raise the bonnet.
CLOSING THE BONNET
Do not drive with the bonnet retained
by the safety catch alone.
