i
Verify Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
on vehicle VIN markings matches VIN on
Repair Order exactly. Correct VIN errors
on RO before RO is closed at your
dealership.

p
A sufficient power supply to the
vehicle on-board system must be
ensured throughout the entire work
procedure.
Otherwise any undervoltage that
occurs may damage the control
units.
i
Do not connect the battery charger to
the auxiliary battery in the engine
compartment.
i
