Safety Precautions
If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following:
WARNING:
Distraction and testing equipment that is not secured properly can cause accidents.
The passenger airbag could pose a risk if it deploys in a collision.
- Operating testing equipment while driving causes it to shift position.
- There is an increased risk of injury due to unsecured testing equipment.
- Always secure testing equipment on the rear seat using a strap and have a second person in the rear seat to operate it.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following:
- Do not touch or remove ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starter speed.
- Always turn ignition off before disconnecting or reconnecting wires for the ignition system, including high voltage wiring and test leads.
- If the engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting (for example for compression testing), disconnect connectors from ignition coils and from fuel injectors.
- Cleaning the engine should only be performed with ignition switched off.
