If you switch off the vehicle while it is stationary, you can no longer steer the vehicle.
If you switch off the vehicle while driving, safety functions are restricted or no longer available.
This may affect the power steering system and the brake force boosting, for example.
You will need to use considerably more force to steer and brake, for example.
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Breathing in these exhaust gases is hazardous to health and results in poisoning.
If you shift down on slippery road surfaces to increase the engine braking effect, the drive wheels may lose traction.
If the tailpipe is blocked or sufficient ventilation is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide may enter the vehicle. This is the case, for example, if the vehicle gets stuck in the snow.
If the vehicle height is greater than the maximum permitted headroom clearance, the roof and other parts of the vehicle may be damaged.
