Measuring instruments and a stroboscope must not be connected to the positive terminal of the ignition coil while the engine is running.

Do not replace the ignition coil with a coil of another type.

Do not heat up the car to temperatures above 8°C, for example, painting, drying the car. Start the engine only when the car has cooled down.

Wash the car only with the ignition off.

Disconnect the battery completely for electric and spot welding.
