Safety notes
G
Warning!
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of movement.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all obsta-
cles. If there are any floormats or carpets
in the footwell, make sure the pedals still
have sufficient clearance.
During sudden driving or braking maneu-
vers the objects could get caught between
the pedals. You could then no longer brake
or accelerate. This could lead to accidents
and injury.
G
Warning!
With the engine not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and steer-
ing systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle. Adapt your driving
accordingly.
Starting the engine
G
Warning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to
your health. All exhaust gas contains car-
bon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness and possible
death.
Do not run the engine in confined areas
(such as a garage) which are not properly
ventilated. If you think that exhaust gas
fumes are entering the vehicle while driv-
ing, have the cause determined and cor-
rected immediately. If you must drive under
these conditions, drive only with at least
one window fully open at all times.
