General Warnings and Safety Regulations: Legislation: Notes

These "Safety Regulations" are not exhaustive, as GM cannot reasonably anticipate every conceivable service and repair method and the consequences thereof.

It is therefore vital for anyone carrying out repair work on a vehicle to ensure that the repair method that has been selected will not affect their own safety or the vehicle.

Since different laws apply in the different countries, it is not possible to go into details in the service literature. Anyone involved in maintenance and repair work must be aware of the guidelines and laws that apply to their job and follow them accordingly.

It is expressly pointed out that all work on the systems described in the following must be carried out in accordance with the applicable guidelines and regulations issued by the local authorities and the health and safety, accident prevention and environmental protection authorities. Contact with certain operating materials may be damaging to health. Specific national legislation pertaining to hazardous substances governs the proper handling of materials. The identification code is printed on the material container label. Restrictions are subject to national legislation. Danger classes applicable in individual countries govern the proper storage of combustible liquids; relevant danger classes are printed on the container label. Restrictions are subject to national legislation. Observe the relevant national regulations when handling and disposing of hazardous substances (such as non-deployed airbag modules) and recyclable materials (such as plastic, metal, used oil). The safety data sheets must be observed.
