The heated rear window should be switched off as soon as the glass is dem-
isted. By saving electrical power you can also save fuel.
Note
To avoid possible damage to the battery, an automatic temporary discon-
nection of this function is possible, coming back on when normal operating
conditions are re-established.
Hazard warning lights
The hazard warning lights are used to draw the attention of
other road users to your vehicle in emergencies.

use the hazard warning lights and a warning triangle to draw the atten-
tion of other road users to your stationary vehicle.

inflammable materials under the vehicle, for example dry grass or spilt
petrol. This could start a fire!
