Health and Safety Precautions
Introduction
Many of the procedures associated with vehicle
maintenance and repair involve physical hazards
or other risks to health. This subsection lists,
alphabetically, some of these hazardous operations
and the materials and equipment associated with
them. Precautions necessary to avoid these
hazards are identified.
The list is not exhaustive and all operations and
procedures, and the handling of materials, should
be carried out with health and safety in mind.
Before using any product the Materials Safety Data
Sheet supplied by the manufacturer or supplier
should be consulted.
Acids and Alkalis
See alsoBattery Acids.
For example caustic soda, sulphuric acid.
Used in batteries and cleaning materials.
Irritant and corrosive to the skin, eyes, nose and
throat. Cause burns. Can destroy ordinary
protective clothing.
Avoid splashes to the skin, eyes and clothing. Wear
suitable protective impervious apron, gloves and
goggles. Do not breath mists.
Make sure access to eye wash bottles, shower and
soap are readily available for splashing accidents.
Display Eye Hazard sign.
Air Bags
See also Fire, Chemical Materials.
Highly flammable, explosive – observe No Smoking
policy.
Used as a safety restraint system mounted in the
steering wheel and passenger side of the
instrument panel.
The inflator contains a high-energetic propellant
which, when ignited, produces a VERY HOT GAS
(2500°C).
The gas generant used in air bags is Sodium Azide.
This material is hermetically sealed in the module
and is completely consumed during deployment.
No attempt should be made to open an air bag inflator as this will lead to the risk of exposure to
Sodium Azide. If a gas generator is ruptured, full
protective clothing should be worn when dealing
with the spillage.
After normal deployment, gloves and safety
goggles must be worn during the handling process.
Deployed air bags should be disposed of in a
plastic bag in accordance with local regulations at
an approved chemical waste site.
For additional information, refer to:
Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) Health and Safety
Precautions (100-00 General Information,

Standard Workshop Practices
Vehicle in Workshop
When working on a vehicle in the workshop always
make sure that:
– the parking brake is applied or the wheels aresecurely chocked to prevent the vehicle moving
forwards or backwards.
– the key is removed from key operated hood locks before any work is carried out around the
front of the vehicle.
– if the engine is to be run, there is adequate ventilation, or an extraction hose to remove
exhaust fumes.
– there is adequate room to raise the vehicle and remove the wheels, if necessary.
– fender covers are always fitted if any work is to be carried out in the engine compartment.
– the battery is disconnected if working on the engine, underneath the vehicle, or if the vehicle
is raised.
CAUTION: When electric arc welding on a
vehicle, always disconnect the generator
wiring to prevent the possibility of a surge
of current causing damage to the internal
components of the generator.
– if using welding equipment on the vehicle, a suitable fire extinguisher is readily available.
Towing the Vehicle
WARNING: When the vehicle is being
towed, the ignition switch must be in
position II (steering lock released and
warning lamps illuminated). Only then will
the steering, turn signal lamps, horn and
stop lamps be operational. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal
injury.
NOTE: The removable towing eye (if equipped),
has a left-hand thread and must be fully tightened
before towing can commence.
When towing is necessary, the vehicle towing eyes
should be used. The rope must be securely
fastened to the towing eyes and must also be
attached to the other vehicle such that the rope will
not foul the bodywork.
When a vehicle with automatic transmission is
towed, the gear selector must be in position N (Neutral). Never tow a vehicle with automatic
transmission at a speed greater than 30 mph (50
km/h) or for a distance greater than 30 miles (50
km). If it is necessary to tow the vehicle a greater
distance, the drive wheels must be lifted clear off
the ground.
Alternatively the vehicle can be transported on a
low loader or a trailer.
Connecting a Slave Battery Using
Jumper Cables
WARNING: If the slave battery has recently
been charged and is gassing, cover the
vent plugs or covers with a damp cloth to
reduce the risk of explosion should arcing
occur when connecting the jumper cables.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
A discharged battery condition may have
been caused by an electrical short circuit.
If this condition exists there will be an
apparently live circuit on the vehicle even
when all normal circuits are switched off.
This can cause arcing when the jumper
cables are connected.
While it is not recommended that the
vehicle is jump started, it is recognized
that this may occasionally be the only
practical way to mobilize a vehicle. In such
an instance, the discharged battery must
be recharged immediately after jump
starting to avoid permanent damage.
– Always make sure that the jumper cables are adequate for the task. Heavy duty cables must
be used.
– Always make sure that the slave battery is of the same voltage as the vehicle battery. The
batteries must be connected in parallel.
– Always make sure that switched electric circuits are switched off before connecting jumper
cables. This reduces the risk of arcing occurring
when the final connection is made.

WARNING: Make sure that the ends of the
jumper cables do not touch each other or
ground against the vehicle body at any
time while the cables are attached to the
battery. A fully charged battery, if shorted
through jumper cables, can discharge at
a rate well above 1000 amps causing
violent arcing and very rapid heating of the
jumper cables and terminals, and can even
cause the battery to explode. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
personal injury.
Always connect the jumper cables in the following
sequence:
– Slave battery positive first and then vehicle battery positive.
– Slave battery negative next and then vehicle ground at least 12 inches (300 mm) from the
battery terminal, for example engine lifting eye.
Always reduce the engine speed to idle before
disconnecting the jumper cables.
Before removing the jumper cables from the vehicle
that had the discharged battery, switch on the
heater blower (high) or the heated rear window, to
reduce the voltage peak when the cables are
removed.
Always disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse
order to the connecting sequence and do not short
the ends of the cables.
Do not rely on the generator to restore a
discharged battery. For a generator to recharge a
battery, it would take in excess of eight hours
continuous driving with no additional loads placed
on the battery.
Component Cleaning
To prevent the ingress of dirt, accumulations of
loose dirt and greasy deposits should be removed before disconnecting or dismantling components
or assemblies.
Components should be thoroughly cleaned before
inspection prior to reassembly.
Cleaning Methods:
– Dry cleaning.
– Removal of loose dirt with soft or cable brushes.
– Scraping dirt off with a piece of metal or wood.
– Wiping off with a rag.
WARNING: Wear eye protection when
cleaning vehicle components with
compressed air, a steam cleaner or a
power washer. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
Compressed air is sometimes 'wet' so use
with caution, especially on hydraulic
systems.
To prevent damage to the electrical
connectors in the engine compartment, do
not use a steam cleaner or a power washer
to clean the engine compartment.
– Blowing dirt off with compressed air.
– Removal of dry dust using vacuum equipment. This method must always be used to remove
friction lining material dust (asbestos particles).
– Steam cleaning.
WARNING: Most solvents require careful
handling and some are harmful. Refer to
Health and Safety Precautions and to the
manufacturers literature for the relevant
safety precautions. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
Various solvents are available which are suitable
for component cleaning. Some components, such
as brake hydraulic parts and electrical assemblies
should be cleaned only with recommended solvents
— refer to Solvents, Sealers and Adhesives or to
the section of the manual relevant to the
component.
Calibration of Essential Measuring
Equipment
WARNING: Equipment, which requires
regular calibration, must be calibrated in
accordance with the manufacturers

System Operation
Electric Booster Heater
In diesel vehicles which give off little residual heat,
a booster heater is used to heat the passenger
compartment rapidly in the case of low ambient
temperatures.
If the interior temperature has been set to HI, or if
the heater controls have been switched to the
highest setting, the two-zone air conditioning
system sends an "electric booster heater ON"
request signal to the CAN (controller area network)
via the medium speed GEM bus. If a manual air
conditioning system is installed, the signal is
transmitted via a conventional cable connection.
The GEM switches on the electric booster heater
depending on the following parameters:
• Engine coolant temperature is below 60 °C.
• Ambient air temperature is below 10 °C.
• Sufficient generator capacity is available.
The electric booster heater electronics activate
three output stages as a function of a pulse width
modulated signal PWM (pulse width modulation)
generated by the GEM. The output stages switch
the three heating elements of the electric booster
heater ON or OFF individually, whereby the heating
periods of the individual elements can overlap. Due
to the variable switch-on duration, continuously
variable temperature control is possible. The overall
heating power of the three heating elements is
linearly proportional to the PWM signal. If the PWM
signal is below 10% or above 95%, the electric
booster heater is not activated.
The electric booster heater is switched off when
an engine coolant temperature of 70°C or an
ambient air temperature of 20°C is exceeded.
