1.0 Battery
- Explosion hazard in the vicinity of the battery during welding and grinding work. The battery must be removed.

2.0 Control units
- The following risks exist when the battery is connected:
- Damage to control units resulting from welding work on the body or a line short circuit.
- Accidental activation of airbags during straightening work on the body.

Because of these risks the battery negative lead must be disconnected prior to all repair work. Instructions for Disconnecting and Connecting Battery

- Control units are designed for a temperature of 65 °C. The temperatures in a spray booth do not pose any problems. If a vehicle is in the spray booth at a displayed temperature of 80 °C, the actual temperature of the vehicle is d 60 °C (object temperature).
- Protect control units against effects of heat >65 °C (e.g. during welding and drying work with an infrared radiator or hot air blower).

3.0 Electrical wires and wiring harnesses
- Protect electrical wires and wiring harnesses against damage (e.g. during straightening and grinding work).
- Protect electrical wires and wiring harnesses against effects of heat >65 °C (e.g. during welding and drying work with an infrared radiator or hot air blower).
- Do not kink electrical wires.
