Kia Carens: Maintenance services / Engine compartment precautions (Diesel engine)

• The injector operates at high voltage (maximum 200v). Therefore, the following accidents may occur.
  - Direct contact with the injector or injector wiring may cause electric shock or damage your muscle or nerve system.
  - The electromagnetic wave from the operating injector may cause the artificial heart pacemaker to malfunction.
• Follow the safety tips provided below, when you are checking the engine room while the engine is running.
  - Do not touch the injector, injector wirings, and the engine computer while the engine is running.
  - Do not remove the injector connector while the engine is running.
  - People using pacemakers must not go near the engine while the engine is starting or running.

WARNING - Diesel Engine

Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High-pressure pump, rail, injectors and high-pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped.The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touches the body. People using pacemakers should not move than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the electronic engine control system produce considerable magnetic fields.

CAUTION

• Do not put heavy objects or apply excessive force on top of the engine cover (if equipped) or fuel related parts.
• When you inspect the fuel system (fuel lines and fuel injection devices), we recommend that you contact an authorized Kia dealer.
• Do not drive long time with the engine cover (if equipped) removed.
• When checking the engine room, do not go near fire. Fuel, washer fluid, etc. are flammable oils that may cause fire.
• Before touching the battery, ignition cables and electrical wiring, you should disconnect the battery "-" terminal. You may get an electric shock from the electric current.
• When you remove the interior trim cover with a flat bed (-) driver, be careful not to damage the cover.
• Be careful when you replace and clean bulbs to avoid burns or electrical shock.
