heat accumulated in the engine compart-
ment or due to its prolonged exposure to so-
lar radiation.
WARNING
●
Never switch the engine off until the vehi-
cle is completely stationary.
●
The brake servo works only when the en-
gine is running. With the engine switched
off, more strength is needed to brake. As
normal brake operation cannot be per-
formed, risk of accidents and serious injury
may exist.
●
The steering lock can be immediately
blocked once the key is removed from the
ignition. The vehicle cannot be steered.
Risk of accident.
●
Power-assisted steering does not work
when the engine is off, and more strength is
needed to turn the wheel.
● If the key is removed from the ignition
lock the steering lock could be engaged
and vehicle steering would not work.
CAUTION
●
When the engine has been running under
a heavy load for a long period, heat can
accumulate in the engine compartment
and cause engine damage. For this reason,
idle the engine for approximately 2 minutes
before switching it off.
●
If the vehicle is stopped and the Start-
Stop system* switches off the engine, the
ignition remains switched on. Make sure
that the ignition is switched off before leav-
ing the vehicle, otherwise the battery could
discharge.
