Safety precautions


CAUTION: When doing any repair work, especially due to the confined conditions in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following:
- Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum lines and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored.
- Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
- Fuel system is under pressure. Before opening the system place a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully loosening the connection.


To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:







- For reasons of safety, remove fuse No. 28 from fuse holder before opening the fuel system. The fuel pump can be activated by the driver s door contact switch.
- Do not touch or remove ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starter speed.
- The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting injection or ignition system wiring or tester cables.

If the engine is to be turned at starter speed without starting:







- Remove fuse No. 32 from fuse holder.


NOTE: Removing fuse No. 32 interrupts the voltage supply to the injectors.


- Remove engine cover.
- Remove both intake manifold side parts Item - 9 -, and Item - 16 -.
- Pull all connectors off from ignition coils. To release the connections, use assembly tool T10118.

Observe the following if test and measuring instruments are required during a test drive:
- Test and measuring instruments must be secured to rear seat and operated by a 2nd person from this location.

If test and measuring instruments are operated from the front passenger's seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, there is a possibility that the person sitting in this seat may receive serious injuries when the airbag is triggered.
