Safety precautions
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to be used during a road test:
  WARNING
t  Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat and operated from that position by a second person.
t  If test and measuring instruments are operated from the front passenger's seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, the person sitting in this seat could be seriously injured when the airbag is triggered.
To prevent injuries to persons and/or irreparable damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:
t  Do not touch or disconnect ignition wiring when the engine is running or being turned at starter speed.
t  The ignition must be switched off before disconnecting or connecting ignition system wiring, high-voltage wires and test leads.
t  If you want to crank the engine at starting speed without actually starting it (e.g. compression test), first unplug the connectors from the ignition coils and the injectors. After completing the work, interrogate and erase the event memory.
t  Always switch off the ignition before cleaning the engine.
