Steering System: Warning

All the operations should be carried out taking great care to avoid personal injury. The engine compartment contains many moving parts, components at high temperatures and live wires. Follow the warnings given below very carefully when working in the engine compartment: Turn off the engine and wait for it to cool down, do not smoke, do not use naked flames and ensure a fire extinguisher is available nearby. The use of special equipment is required for certain procedures. The use of these tools is vital for working safely. Follow the current workshop safety regulations. Where necessary, this service information contains specific procedures to be followed to prevent dangerous situations from arising. When using chemical products, carefully follow the safety instructions on the safety card. The safety card must be provided to the consumer by the supplier. The electronic ignition system produces voltages of 20, 000 V and above which could be very hazardous to people especially if they are suffering from a heart condition. Therefore take great care when working on these systems or in the vicinity of their components.

All fixing screws for components (structural and non-structural) fixed to the carbon chassis, outside the car, are made of stainless steel. The use of fixing elements in other materials may induce "galvanic" corrosion. Therefore, when refitting, take particular care to reuse (or replace if applicable) fixing elements with the characteristics described above.
