WARNING
Driving with an unlocked or open boot lid
can cause serious injuries.
·
Always drive with the boot lid closed.
·
Always stow all objects in the luggage
compartment securely. Loose objects
can fall out of the luggage compart-
ment and injure road users who are
driving behind.
·
Always drive carefully and ensure that
you think ahead.
·
Avoid any abrupt or sudden driving and
braking manoeuvres as this could cause
the open boot lid to move unpredicta-
bly.
·
Any items protruding from the luggage
compartment must be marked to en-
sure that they are visible to other road
users. Comply with any legal require-
ments.
·
If items protrude out of the luggage
compartment, never use the boot lid to
clamp or hold them in position.
·
If you have to drive the vehicle with the
boot lid open, remove any luggage
racks and loads from the boot lid.
WARNING
Poisonous exhaust fumes can get into the
interior when the boot lid is open. This can
result in loss of consciousness, carbon
monoxide poisoning, serious injury and
accidents.
·
You should always drive with the boot
lid closed in order to prevent toxic
gases from entering the vehicle.
·
If you have to drive with an open boot
lid in exceptional circumstances, com-
ply with the following instructions to re-
duce the amount of toxic exhaust
fumes entering the vehicle:
— Close all the windows.
— Switch
off
the air recirculation mode
of the heating and fresh air system or
Climate Control system.
— Open all vents in the dash panel.
— Switch the blowers for the heating
and fresh air system, or for the Cli-
mate Control system, to the highest
setting.
NOTICE
An open boot lid changes the length and
height of the vehicle.
Driving through water on roads
Please follow these rules to help prevent
damage to your vehicle when driving
through water, for example if the road is
flooded:
— Check the depth of the water before driv-
ing through it. The water level must be no
higher than the lower edge of the vehicle
body
→
.
— Do not drive faster than walking speed.
— Never stop the vehicle, reverse or switch
off
the engine while in water.
— Oncoming vehicles will create waves that
could increase the water level for your
vehicle to such an extent that it is not
safe to drive through the water.
— Always deactivate the Auto StartStop
system manually when driving through
water.
WARNING
After
driving through water, mud, slush
etc., the brakes may react slowly and the
braking distance will be increased as the
brake discs and pads will be wet, or possi-
bly iced up in winter.
·
Dry the brakes and clean
off
any coat-
ing of ice and salt with a few cautious
applications of the brake. Do not en-
danger any other road users or go
against legal requirements when doing
this.
·
Avoid abrupt and sudden braking ma-
noeuvres directly
after
driving through
water.
NOTICE
If you drive through water, parts of the vehi-
cle, such as the running gear and vehicle
electrics, could sustain severe damage.
