NOTE Reduced battery life due to fre‐
quent short-distance trips
The 12 V battery may not be sufficiently
charged when the vehicle is used only for
short-distance trips. This reduces the life of
the battery.
#
Drive longer distances regularly to
charge the battery.
Notes on driving with a roof load, trailer or
fully laden vehicle
When driving with a loaded roof luggage rack or
trailer as well as with a fully laden or fully occu‐
pied vehicle, the vehicle's driving and steering
characteristics change.
You should bear the following in mind:

towing capacity. Also observe the technical
data in the printed Owner's Manual.

Evenly distribute the roof load, and place
heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply
with the notes on loading the vehicle
(

Drive attentively, and avoid suddenly pulling
away, braking and steering as well as rapid
cornering.
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
Notes on aquaplaning
Aquaplaning can take place once a certain
amount of water has accumulated on the road
surface.

itation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
R
reduce speed
R
avoid tyre ruts
R
avoid sudden steering movements
