Hot exhaust gas system
WARNING
During driving operation, high tempera‐
tures can occur underneath the vehicle body,
for instance caused by the exhaust gas sys‐
tem. If combustible materials, such as leaves
or grass, come in contact with hot parts of the
exhaust gas system, these materials can ignite.
There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to
property. Do not remove the heat shields in‐
stalled and never apply undercoating to them.
Make sure that no combustible materials can
come in contact with hot vehicle parts in driv‐
ing operation, idle or during parking. Do not
touch the hot exhaust gas system.◀

The exhaust gas particulate filter collects soot
particles. The soot particles are burned at high
temperatures to clean the exhaust gas particu‐
late filter as necessary.
During several minutes of cleaning the follow‐

▷ Temporarily, the engine may run less
smoothly.
▷ Noises and a slight amount of smoke com‐
ing from the exhaust gas system, even af‐
ter the engine is switched off.
▷ A somewhat higher engine speed is neces‐
sary to reach usual performance.

use only mobile phones with direct connec‐
tions to an exterior antenna in order to exclude
mutual interference and deflect the radiation
from the car's interior.◀
