Ford Fiesta: General Information / Brake and Clutch Systems Health and Safety Precautions. Description and Operation
WARNING:
Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting
manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that
has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help
prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not breathe dust or use compressed air to blow dust from
storage containers or friction components. Remove dust using
government-approved techniques. Friction component dust may be a cancer
and lung disease hazard. Exposure to potentially hazardous components
may occur if dusts are created during repair of friction components,
such as brake pads and clutch discs. Exposure may also cause irritation
to skin, eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause allergic reactions
and/or may lead to other chronic health effects. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention or advice. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
If the brake fluid is spilled on the paintwork, the affected area must be immediately washed down with cold water.
WARNING:
Batteries contain sulphuric acid, avoid contact with skin, eyes
or clothing. Wear safety goggles when working near the battery to
protect against possible splashing of the acid solution...
WARNING:
Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling
system. Do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine
is operating or the cooling system is hot...

Preliminary Inspection
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test on a
smooth road. If any vibrations are apparent, Refer to the Symptom
Chart: NVH.
To maximize tire performance, inspect for signs of incorrect
inflation and uneven wear, which may indicate a need for balancing,
rotation or front suspension alignment.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an
important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid
acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
