General Information

Safety Precautions

CAUTION!
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

• Route lines of all types (e.g. fuel, hydraulic, Evaporative Emission (EVAP) , coolant, refrigerant, brake or vacuum) and electrical wires so that the original path is followed.

• To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

The fuel pump is activated with a switch on the ignition and by the door contact switch of the driver's door. Therefore, for reasons of safety, the electrical connector - arrow - must be disconnected from the fuel delivery unit before opening the fuel system, if the battery is not disconnected.





Always observe the following when removing and installing the fuel level sensor or the fuel pump from a full or partially filled fuel tank.

• Before starting work, switch on the exhaust extraction system and place an extraction hose close to the opening of the fuel tank to extract escaping fuel fumes. If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as the motor is not in the air flow) with a displacement greater than 15 m3/h can be used.

• Prevent the fuel from contacting skin! Wear fuel resistant gloves!
