Safety precautions 

If test and measuring equipment is required during road test, note the following: 

z

Test equipment must always be secured to the rear seat and operated from there by a second person. 

If test and measuring equipment is operated from the passenger seat, the person seated there could be 
injured in the event of an accident involving deployment of the passenger -side airbag. 

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always 
observe the following: 

z

Do not touch or disconnect ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starting RPM.  

z

Only disconnect and reconnect wires for injection and ignition system, including test leads, when ignition 
is switched off.  

z

If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting, e.g. for a compression test:  

WARNING:

Observe the following for all installations, especially in engine 
compartment due to lack of room: 

z

Route lines of all types (e.g. for fuel, hydraulic, EVAP canister 
system, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and electrical 
wiring so that the original path is followed.  

z

Watch for sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.  

z

Fuel system is under pressure! Before opening system, place rags 
around the connection point. Then release pressure by carefully 
loosening connection.
