Remove the radiator of the high-temperature coolant circuit

NOTE: DANGER
High-voltage system.
The high-voltage system operates on the basis of hazardous, electrical voltage and high currents. Mortal hazard through electric shock!

All work on the high-voltage system may only be carried out by specially trained and technically experienced personnel.

WARNING: Hot surfaces.
Risk of burning!

Perform all work only on components that have cooled down.

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Immobilization period-long fill of coolant!
Do not reuse used coolant.
When replacing and removing components which rely on the corrosion protection effect of the coolant, it is essential to change the coolant. The cooling system must therefore be emptied and refilled.
In the case of other removal work involving the draining of part quantities of coolant, the coolant level must be topped up with new coolant.

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Notes on work at the cooling system form the basis of these repair instructions and must be complied with at all times.
For additional information see: 17 00... INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPAIR WORK ON COOLING SYSTEM

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Collect and dispose of emerging fluids. Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.
