If you open the engine bonnet when the engine has overheated or during a fire in the engine compartment, you could come into contact with hot gases or other escaping operating fluids.
Certain components in the engine compartment can be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
Components in the engine compartment may continue running or start up suddenly, even if the ignition is switched off.
Make sure of the following before performing tasks in the engine compartment:
the engine has been warmed up.
the coolant temperature is 80°C.
the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
the engine has run at idle speed for 30 seconds in the drive program .
Check the engine oil level within two minutes of switching off the engine.
oil level is correct: oil level is between and .
oil level too low: oil level is at or below.
oil level too high: oil level is above .
