7.8 Checking and Draining the Containment System (if equipped)

system protects the environment by collecting fluid leaks (fuel, coolant, or oil)

of fluid collected in a 24-hour period indicates a significant leak.

Note: Collect, store, and dispose of drained fluid in accordance with current
environmental protection regulations.
