7.1
Safety Precautions, Vehicles with Start/
Stop System
WARNING
Risk of injury if the engine starts automatically in vehicles with
a Start/Stop System.
♦ For vehicles with an activated Start/Stop System (recog‐
nizable from a notification in the instrument cluster), the
engine can be started automatically if needed.
♦ Make sure the Start/Stop system is deactivated when
working on the vehicle (turn off ignition and turn the ignition
back on if needed).
7.2
Contact Corrosion
♦ The transmission housing and clutch housing consist of a
magnesium alloy.
♦ Bolts and other components, which come into direct contact
with the transmission, have a surface coating adapted for this.
♦ Contact corrosion occurs when incorrect components (bolts,
nuts, washers, etc.) are used. The transmission housing and
clutch housing are damaged.
♦ Only install components provided in the Parts Catalog.
7.3
Special Tools
Refer to Workshop Equipment and Special Tools for a complete
list of special tools used in the repair manual.
7.4

Transmission
♦ Make sure that the alignment bushings between the engine
and transmission are positioned correctly when installing the
manual transmission.
♦ Clean the contact surfaces when installing brackets and
