Safety Precautions When Working On Fuel Supply System

There is a risk of injury due to the fuel being under pressure.

The fuel system is under pressure. Injuries are possible from fuel spraying out.

Before opening the fuel system:

-- Wear protective eyewear.

-- Wear safety gloves.

-- Reduce the pressure: place clean cloths around the connection point and carefully open the connection point.

Procedure for reducing the high fuel pressure. Refer to FUEL INJECTORS/HIGH PRESSURE RESERVOIR (RAIL) .

Risk of a fire due to leaking fuel.

When the battery is connected, the door contact switch activates the fuel pump when opening the driver door. Leaking fuel can ignite and start a fire.

-- Before opening the fuel system, interrupt the power supply to the fuel pump.
