WARNING Risk of accident when switch‐
ing off the ignition when driving
If you switch off the ignition while driving,
safety functions are restricted or no longer
available. This may affect the power steering
system and the brake force boosting, for
example.
You will then need to use considerably more
force to steer and brake.
#
Do not switch off the ignition while driv‐
ing.

DANGER Risk death caused by exhaust
gases
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases is hazardous to health
and leads to poisoning.
#
Never leave the engine or, if present,
the auxiliary heating running in an
enclosed space without sufficient venti‐
lation.
&
WARNING Risk of skidding and of an
accident due to shifting down on slippery
road surfaces
If you shift down on slippery road surfaces to
increase the engine braking effect, the drive
wheels may lose traction.
#
Do not shift down on slippery road sur‐
faces to increase the engine braking
effect.
&
DANGER Risk of fatal injury due to poi‐
sonous exhaust gases
If the tailpipe is blocked or sufficient ventila‐
tion is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases
such as carbon monoxide may enter the vehi‐
cle. This is the case when the vehicle
becomes stuck in snow, for example.
#
Keep the tailpipe and the area around
the vehicle free from snow when the
engine or the stationary heater are run‐
ning.
#
Open a window on the side of the vehi‐
cle facing away from the wind to ensure
an adequate supply of fresh air.

WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due to being under the influence of alco‐
hol and drugs while driving

or drugs may affect your reflexes, perception
and judgment.
