Notes on the care of vehicle parts
WARNING Risk of injury if unsuitable climbing aids are used
In the event that you use openings in the bodywork or attachments as steps, you could:
  • Slip and/or fall.

  • Damage the vehicle and thus slip and fall.

Always use non-slip, stable climbing aids, e.g. a suitable ladder.
WARNING Risk of entrapment if the windscreen wipers are switched on while the windscreen is being cleaned

If the windscreen wipers are set in motion while you are cleaning the windscreen or wiper blades, you can be trapped by the wiper arm.

Always switch off the windscreen wipers and the ignition before cleaning the windscreen or wiper blades.
WARNING Risk of burns from the tailpipe and tailpipe trims

The exhaust tailpipe and tailpipe trims can become very hot. If you come into contact with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn yourself.

Always be particularly careful around the tailpipe and the tailpipe trims and supervise children especially closely in this area.
Allow vehicle parts to cool down before touching them.
NOTE Damage caused by the use of openings in the bodywork or detachable part as a step

Using the lower guide of the sliding door (carriage) as a step can damage the trim and/or mechanism of the sliding door.
