WARNING Risk of accident due to incor‐
rect gearshifting
If the engine speed is higher than the idle
speed and you engage the transmission posi‐
tion h or k , the vehicle may accelerate
sharply.
#
If you engage the transmission position
h or k when the vehicle is at a
standstill, always depress the brake
pedal firmly and do not accelerate at
the same time.
* NOTE Engine damage due to excessively
high engine speeds
The engine will be damaged if you drive with
the engine in the overrevving range.
#
Do not drive with the engine in the over‐
revving range.
* NOTE Wearing out the brake linings by
continuously depressing the brake pedal
#
Do not depress the brake pedal contin‐
uously whilst driving.
#
To use the braking effect of the engine,
shift to a lower gear in good time.
* NOTE Damage to the drivetrain and
engine when pulling away
#
Do not warm up the engine while the
vehicle is stationary. Pull away immedi‐
ately.
#
Avoid high engine speeds and driving at
full throttle until the engine has reached
its operating temperature.
* NOTE Damage to the catalytic converter
due to non-combusted fuel
The engine is not running smoothly and is
misfiring.
Non-combusted fuel may get into the cata‐
lytic converter.
#
Only depress the accelerator pedal
slightly.
#
Have the cause rectified immediately at
a qualified specialist workshop.
Notes on driving on salt-treated roads
The braking effect is limited on salt-treated
roads.
Therefore, observe the following notes:
R
Due to salt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking distance can increase
considerably or result in braking only on one
side
R
Maintain a much greater safe distance to the
vehicle in front
To remove salt build-up:
R
Brake occasionally while paying attention to
the traffic conditions
R
Carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
