Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following:

CAUTION:
- Fuel system is under high pressure. Before opening high pressure components of the fuel injection system, pressure must be relieved to residual pressure.
- Then wrap a clean rag around the connection and relieve residual pressure by carefully loosening the connection.

- The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting injection and ignition system wiring or tester cables.
- It is possible that the control module will recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during some tests. Therefore, when all tests and repairs are completed, the DTC memory must be checked and, if necessary, erased. After DTC memory is erased, a readiness code must be generated for the engine control module using operating mode "Guided Fault-Finding".
- Clean engine only with the ignition switched off.

CAUTION:
- The battery must only be disconnected and connected with the ignition switched off, since the Engine Control Module (ECM) can otherwise be damaged.
- Observe safety precautions when disconnecting the battery.

Observe the following if test and measuring instruments are required during a test drive:

CAUTION:
- Test and measuring equipment must always be secured to the rear seat and be operated from there by a second person.
- If test and measuring instruments are operated from the front passengers 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.
