Ice on window glass
NOTICE
The window will be lowered slightly when
pulling on the door handle. In the event of
frost, the window may freeze up and not
be lowered. There is a risk of damage to
property. When pulling on the door han-
dle, make sure that the window is lowered.
If necessary, remove snow and ice from
the window. Do not open the door with
force.
Mobile communication devices in
the vehicle
Warning
Vehicle electronics and mobile phones can
influence one another. There is radiation
due to the transmission operations of mo-
bile phones. There is a risk of injury or
risk of damage to property. If possible, in
the car's interior use only mobile phones
with direct connections to an exterior an-
tenna in order to exclude mutual interfer-
ence and deflect the radiation from the
car's interior.
Hydroplaning
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water
can form between the tires and road sur-
face.
This phenomenon is referred to as hydro-
planing. It is characterized by a partial or
complete loss of contact between the tires
and the road surface, ultimately undermin-
ing your ability to steer and brake the vehi-
cle.
Driving through water
General information
When driving through water, follow the fol-
lowing:
– Drive through calm water only.
– Drive through water only if it is not
deeper than maximum 9.8 inches/25 cm.
– Drive through water no faster than
walking speed, up to 3 mph/5 km/h.
Safety information
NOTICE
When driving too quickly through too
deep water, water can enter into the en-
gine compartment, the electrical system or
the transmission. There is a risk of damage
to property. When driving through water,
do not exceed the maximum indicated wa-
ter level and the maximum speed for driv-
ing through water.
Braking safely
General information

Braking System ABS as a standard feature.
Perform an emergency stop in situations
that require such.
Steering is still responsive. You can still
avoid any obstacles with a minimum of
steering effort.
Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds
from the hydraulic circuits indicate that
ABS is in its active mode.
