present and risk igniting.
165)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned.
166)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler plug, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium plug (where
provided). CAUTION: risk of burns!
167)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another original one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do
not remove the reservoir cap when the
engine is hot: risk of burns.
168)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Repeated operation of the system without
fluid could damage or cause rapid
deterioration of some system components.

windscreen washer fluids are inflammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.

corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.171)The

indicates a synthetic brake fluid, which is
different from a mineral fluid. Using a
mineral fluid will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.

corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.

fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
174)If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
175)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
