Safety Precautions


WARNING!
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 safety reasons the fuse No.14 must be removed from the fuse holder before opening the fuel system, otherwise the fuel pump can be activated by the door terminal switch.
- The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting injection or ignition system wiring or tester cables.
- Do not touch or disconnect ignition wiring when the engine is running or being turned at starter speed.

Observe 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 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.

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







- Disconnect 6-pin connector from power output stage for ignition coils (arrow).







- Pull fuse No.32 out of fuse holder.


NOTE: Removing fuse 32 interrupts the voltage supply to the injectors.
