Parking the vehicle
WARNING Risk of fire caused by hot exhaust system parts

Flammable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite.

Park the vehicle so that no flammable material can come into contact with hot vehicle components.
In particular, do not park on dry grassland or harvested grain fields.
WARNING Risk of accident and injury due to leaving children unattended in the vehicle
If children are left unattended in the vehicle, they could, in particular:

  • open doors, thereby endangering other persons or road users.

  • get out and be struck by oncoming traffic.

  • operate vehicle equipment and become trapped, for example.

In addition, the children could also set the vehicle in motion by, for example:

  • releasing the parking brake.

  • changing the transmission position.

  • starting the vehicle.

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle.
Keep the vehicle key out of the reach of children.
DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to exhaust gases

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Breathing in these exhaust gases is hazardous to health and results in poisoning.

Never leave the engine and, if present, the stationary heater, running in an enclosed space without sufficient ventilation.
WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable material in the engine compartment or the exhaust system

Flammable materials may ignite.

Therefore, check regularly that there are no flammable materials in the engine compartment or on the exhaust system.
NOTE Damage to the vehicle or the drivetrain due to rolling away
Always park your vehicle safely and according to legal requirements.
Always properly secure the vehicle against rolling away.
NOTE Transmission damage due to rollers in neutral position

If the vehicle is switched off and rolling in neutral position (e.g. when towing), this can damage the drivetrain and lead to transmission damage.

Only allow the vehicle to roll in neutral position for a short time.

Depending on the transmission, the automatic transmission switches to transmission position (9-speed automatic transmission) or (7-speed automatic transmission) when you switch off the vehicle. The power transmission between the engine and transmission is interrupted in transmission position . In this case, shift the automatic transmission to transmission position before switching off the vehicle when the vehicle is stationary. Observe the messages on the display of the instrument cluster. Apply the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.

Observe the following points to ensure that the vehicle is properly secured against rolling away unintentionally.

Always apply the parking brake.
On uphill or downhill gradients:
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
Engage first or reverse gear.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Engage transmission position .
Turn the key to position .
