Engine Compartment
Work Safety Instructions for the Engine
Compartment
When working on the engine or the engine
compartment, such as checking or adding engine
fluids, scalding or other injuries may occur. There is
also a risk of accident and fire!
Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the
following warning instructions and basic safety
provisions.
When adding the engine fluids, be sure to NOT mix
up the engine fluids. Otherwise, serious functional
faults will be caused.
● If you notice steam or coolant escaping, do
not turn on the engine compartment hood -
risk of scalding! The engine compartment
cover can only be opened when no steam or
coolant overflows and the engine has cooled
down.
● Do not leak the working fluid on the hot
engine or exhaust device, which may cause
the risk of fire!
● Do not touch the cooling fan, which is
temperature-controlled and may be
automatically switched on after the vehicle is
shut down.
● For safety reasons, the engine compartment
hood must be locked during driving.
Therefore, after the engine compartment
cover is closed, it is necessary to check
whether the locking device has been
engaged. If the locking device has indeed
been engaged, the engine compartment
cover should be level with the parts around
the vehicle body.
● To protect your face, hands and arms from
high temperature steam and coolant, cover
the locking cover with a wide thick cotton
cloth when opening it.
● Do not leave objects such as cleaning cloth or
tools in the engine compartment.
● When working under a vehicle, it shall be
ensured that the vehicle does not move and
supported in place with suitable brackets. A
vehicle jack alone is not enough, and may
lead to injury!
