WARNING Risk of accident due to objects
in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardises the operating and road safety
of the vehicle.
#
Stow all objects in the vehicle securely
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
#
Always fit the floor mats securely and as
prescribed in order to ensure that there
is always sufficient room for the pedals.
#
Do not use loose floor mats and do not
place floor mats on top of one another.
&
WARNING Risk of accident due to incor-
rect footwear
Incorrect footwear includes, for example:
R
shoes with platform soles
R
shoes with high heels
R
slippers
There is a risk of an accident.
#
Always wear suitable footwear so that
you can operate the pedals safely.
&
WARNING Risk of accident if the vehicle is
switched off while driving
If you switch off the vehicle 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 need to use considerably more force
to steer and brake, for example.
#
Do not switch off the vehicle while driv-
ing.
&
DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to
exhaust gases
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Breathing in
these exhaust gases is hazardous to health
and results in poisoning.
#
Never leave the engine and, if present,
the stationary heater, running in an
enclosed space without sufficient venti-
lation.
&
WARNING Risk of skidding and of an acci-
dent 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 surfa-
ces to increase the engine braking
effect.
