Start/Stop System Safety Precautions

When working on vehicles with a start/stop system, note the following:

WARNING:

There is a risk of getting injured by an automatic engine start for vehicles with the start/stop system.

  • For vehicles with an activated start/stop system (recognized by a signal in the instrument cluster), the engine can be started automatically if need be.
  • Therefore make sure that the start/stop system is deactivated when working on the vehicle (turn off the ignition, turn on the ignition when necessary).
