Viton is a fluoroelastomer, that is a synthetic rubber
type material, which contains Fluorine. It is
commonly used for O-rings, gaskets and seals of
all types. Although Viton is the most well known
fluoroelastomer, there are others, including Fluorel
and Tecmoflon.
When used under design conditions
fluoroelastomers are perfectly safe. If, however,
they are exposed to temperatures in excess of
400°C, the material will not burn, but will
decompose, and one of the products formed is
hydrofluoric acid.
This acid is extremely corrosive and may be
absorbed directly, through contact, into the general
body system.
O-rings, seals or gaskets which have been exposed
to very high temperatures will appear charred or
as a black sticky substance.
DO NOT; under any circumstances touch them or
the attached components.
Enquiries should be made to determine whether
Viton or any other fluoroelastomer has been used
in the affected O-ring, seal or gasket. If they are of
natural rubber or nitrile there is no hazard. If in
doubt, be cautious, as the material may be Viton
or any fluoroelastomer.
If Viton or any other fluoroelastomers have been
used, the affected area should be decontaminated
before the commencement of work.
Disposable heavy duty plastic gloves should be
worn at all times, and the affected area washed
down using wire wool and a limewater (calcium
hydroxide) solution to neutralize the acid before
disposing of the decomposed Viton residue and
final cleaning of the area. After use, the plastic
gloves should be discarded carefully and safely.
Welding
See alsoFire, Electric Shock, Gas Cylinders.
Welding processes include Resistance Welding
(Spot Welding), Arc Welding and Gas Welding.
Resistance Welding
This process may cause particles of molten metal
to be emitted at a high velocity, and the eyes and
skin must be protected.
Arc Welding
This process emits a high level of ultra-violet
radiation, which may cause arc-eye, and skin burns
to the operator and to other persons nearby.
Gas-shielded welding processes are particularly
hazardous in this respect. Personal protection must
be worn, and screens used to shield other people.
CONTACT LENS WEARERS ARE ADVISED TO
REVERT TO ORDINARY SPECTACLES WHEN
ARC WELDING as the arc spectrum is believed to
emit microwaves which dry out the fluid between
the lens and the eye. This may result in blindness
when the lens is removed from the eye.
Metal spatter will also occur, and appropriate eye
and skin protection is necessary.
The heat of the welding arc will produce fumes and
gases from the metals being welded, the rods and
from any applied coatings or contamination on the
surfaces being worked on. These gases and fumes
may be toxic and inhalation of these should be
avoided. The use of extraction ventilation to remove
the fumes from the working area may be necessary
particularly in cases where the general ventilation
is poor, or where considerable welding work is
anticipated. In extreme cases or confined spaces
where adequate ventilation cannot be provided,
air-fed respirators may be necessary.
Gas Welding (and Cutting)
Oxy-acetylene torches may be used for welding
and cutting, and special care must be taken to
prevent leakage of these gases, with consequent
risk of fire and explosion.
The process will produce metal spatter and eye
and skin protection is necessary.
The flame is bright, and eye protection should be
used, but the ultra-violet emission is much less
than that from arc welding, and lighter filters may
be used.
The process itself produces few toxic fumes, but
such fumes and gases may be produced from
coatings on the work, particularly during cutting
away of damaged body parts, and inhalation of the
fumes should be avoided.
In brazing, toxic fumes may be produced from the
metals in the brazing rod, and a severe hazard
may arise if brazing rods containing cadmium are
used. In this event particular care must be taken
to avoid inhalation of fumes and expert advice may
be required.

Body Repair Health and Safety and General Precautions
General
Appropriate repair methods and carrying out repair
and paint jobs correctly is particularly important to
the operating safety of vehicles and the safety of
people.
WARNING: There is danger of injury
through:
• High voltage when electrical welding. – Do not perform welding work in a dampenvironment or on a wet substrate. Use
suitable insulation underneath.
• Welding spatter and UV radiation. – Wear protective clothing, gloves and weldingmask or welding goggles.
• Fire, explosion and hot surfaces in the work area.
– Always have a suitable fire extinguisheravailable when using welding or heating
equipment.
– Remove flammable substances from the danger area. Remove the fuel tank and fuel
pipes and hoses.
– Welding and grinding near the battery presents the danger of explosion. Remove
the battery before you start working.
– During paint work there is an increased danger of fire or explosion. Prevent any
sparks being created. Fire, open light and
smoking are forbidden.
– Always ventilate the workplace well and use an extraction system.
– Wear protective footwear made from anti-static material.
– Only use tools made of wood, brass or copper to clean stands and extraction ducts.
Do not use tools made of steel.
– Only fill or decant paint materials in a specially marked area. • Inhalation and/or absorption through the skin of
harmful substances.
– Welding fumes grinding dusts and solventvapours can be extremely harmful to the
health.
– Sealants, underbody protection and paint residues must not be burnt down with an
unshielded flame, as this will produce harmful
substances.
– Always ventilate the workplace well and use an extraction system.
– Wear protective clothing.
• Pyrotechnic components. – Disconnect the battery negative clamp andcover the battery terminal.
– Remove any airbag components.
• Noise – Cutting, grinding and alignment work cancause a noise level over 85 dB (A).
– Always wear ear protection.
• High Forces. – The various body areas are subject to veryhigh forces during realignment work. Should
any component suddenly become detached
during this process, there is a very great
danger of injury.
– Pulling chains and pulling shackles must be secured with arrester cables.
As well as these general instructions on the
dangers in body and paint shops, you must
observe:
• All valid local national and international regulations governing Health and Safety at Work
• Safety instructions of material equipment and tool manufacturers
For additional information, refer to: (100-00 General
Information) Solvents, Sealants and Adhesives (Description
and Operation),

OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
• Turn on the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
A signal sounds and the turn signal lamps come
on to indicate that service mode has been
successfully activated.
NOTE: If the alarm is activated (in vehicles fitted
with an anti-theft alarm system), service mode
cannot be activated.
Inputs
SWITCH the windshield wiper switch to the "Off"
position to test the input signals. The following is
a list of the switch signals to be tested, in no
particular order:
• Turn signals (right, left, hazard warning lights)
• Windshield wiper stage I
• Windshield wiper stage II
• Windshield washer system • Rear window wiper
