WARNING | When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions: |
| Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, active carbon filter system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum pipes and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored. |
| Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. |
|
Note | t
| When the engine is hot the cooling system is under pressure. If necessary, relieve pressure before commencing repair work. |
