Warning!
G
Do not pull the release lever while the vehi-
cle is in motion. Otherwise the hood could 
be forced open by passing air flow.
This could cause the hood to come loose 
and injure you and/or others.
Warning!
G
If you see flames or smoke coming from the 
engine compartment, or if the coolant tem-
perature gauge indicates that the engine is 
overheated, do not open the hood. Move 
away from the vehicle and do not open the 
hood until the engine has cooled. 
If necessary, call the fire department.
Warning!
G
You could be injured when the hood is open 
– even when the engine is turned off.
Parts of the engine can become very hot. To 
prevent burns, only touch owner serviceable 
components described in the Operator's 
Manual and comply with all relevant safety 
precautions.
Warning!
G
To help prevent personal injury, stay clear of 
moving parts when the hood is open and the 
engine is running.
The radiator fan may continue to run for 
approximately 30 seconds or may even re-
start after the engine has been turned off. 
Stay clear of fan blades.
Warning!
G
Vehicles with gasoline engine: 
The engine is  equipped with a transistor-
ized ignition system. Because of the high 
voltage it is dangerous to touch any compo-
nents (ignition coils, spark plug sockets, 
diagnostic socket) of the ignition system
with the engine running
while starting the engine
if ignition is “on” and the engine is 
turned manually
