Notes on driving
WARNING Risk of accident due to objects in the driver's footwell

Objects in the driver's footwell may impede pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.

This jeopardises the operating and road safety of the vehicle.

Stow all objects in the vehicle securely so that they cannot get into the driver's footwell.
Ensure floor mats and carpets cannot slip and provide sufficient room for the pedals.
Do not lay multiple floor mats or carpets on top of one another.
WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrect footwear
Incorrect footwear includes, for example:

  • shoes with platform soles

  • shoes with high heels

  • slippers

Always wear suitable footwear so that you can operate the pedals safely.
WARNING Risk of accident due to the steering wheel lock when the ignition is switched off

If you switch off the ignition when the vehicle is at a standstill, you will be unable to steer the vehicle.

Switch on the ignition before letting the vehicle roll in order to deactivate the steering wheel lock.
WARNING Risk of accident if the ignition is switched off while driving

If you switch off the ignition while driving, safety functions are restricted or no longer available.

You will then need, for example, to use considerably more force to steer and brake.

Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
DANGER Risk of death caused by exhaust gases

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling these exhaust gases is hazardous to health and leads to poisoning.

Never leave the engine or, if present, the auxiliary heating running in an enclosed space without sufficient ventilation.
DANGER Risk of fatal injury due to poisonous exhaust gases

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 when the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, for example.

Keep the tailpipe and the area around the vehicle free from snow when the engine or the stationary heater are running.
Open a window on the side of the vehicle facing away from the wind to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.
