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 children left unattended in the vehicle
If children are left unsupervised 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, for example by:

  • releasing the parking brake.

  • change the transmission position.

  • start 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 key out of reach of children.
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.
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 caused by rolling in neutral position

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

Only allow the vehicle to roll briefly in the neutral position.
WARNING Risk of accident and injury if parking brake is not applied

If you park the vehicle with the transmission in park position and the parking brake is not engaged, the vehicle may roll away.

Engaging park position is not a fully adequate replacement for the parking brake.

There is a risk of accident and injury!

Secure the vehicle against rolling away as described below.

Depending on the transmission, the automatic transmission switches to transmission position (9-speed automatic transmission) or (7-speed automatic transmission) when switching off the engine. 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 engine when the vehicle is stationary. Observe the messages on the multifunction display. 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 inclines:
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 and switch off the engine.
