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 vehicle and do not open the hood 
until the engine has cooled down. If neces-
sary, 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, let the engine cool off com-
pletely before touching any components on 
the vehicle. 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 ap-
proximately 30 seconds or even restart af-
ter the engine has been turned off. Stay 
clear of fan blades.
Warning!
G
The engine is equipped with a transistorized 
ignition system. Because of the high voltage 
it is dangerous to touch any components (ig-
nition 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 
cranked manually
