Maintenance work
Do not wear jewelry or loose cloth

ning. These items can become
entangled in moving parts, if you
must run the engine whilst working
under the bonnet, make certain that
you remove all jewelry (especially
rings, bracelets, watches, and neck

laces) and all neckties, scarves, and
similar loose clothing before getting
near cooling fans.
Touching metal parts
Do not touch metal parts (including
strut bars) whilst the vehicle is
operating or hot. Doing so could
result in serious bodily injury. Turn
the vehicle off and wait until the
metal parts cool down to perform
maintenance work on the vehicle.
