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

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system or exhaust gas flow.

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 unattended in the vehicle, they could:

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

  • get out of the vehicle and be hit by oncoming traffic.

  • operate vehicle equipment and become trapped, for example.

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

  • releasing the parking brake.
