General notes

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

If you switch off the ignition while driving,

safety-relevant functions are only available

with limitations, or not at all. This could affect,

for example, the power steering and the brake

boosting effect. You will require considerably

more effort to steer and brake. There is a risk

of an accident.

Do not switch off the ignition while driving.

G

WARNING

If you operate mobile communication

equipment while driving, you will be

distracted from traffic conditions. You could

also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk

of an accident.

Only operate this equipment when the vehicle

is stationary.

Observe the legal requirements for the

country in which you are driving. Some

jurisdictions prohibit the driver from using a

mobile phone while driving a vehicle.

If you make a call while driving, always use

hands-free mode. Only operate the telephone

when the traffic situation permits. If you are

unsure, pull over to a safe location and stop

before operating the telephone.

Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph

(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers

a distance of 44 ft (approximately 14 m) per

second.

Drive sensibly – save fuel

Observe the following tips to save fuel:

X

The tires should always be inflated to the

recommended tire pressure.

X

Remove unnecessary loads.

X

Remove roof racks when they are not

needed.

X

Warm up the engine at low engine speeds.

X

Avoid frequent acceleration or braking.

X

Have all maintenance work carried out as

indicated by the service intervals in the

Maintenance Booklet or by the service

interval display.

Fuel consumption also increases when

driving in cold weather, in stop-start traffic

and in hilly terrain.

Drinking and driving

G

WARNING

Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and

driving are very dangerous combinations.

Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can

affect your reflexes, perceptions and

judgment.

The possibility of a serious or even fatal

accident is greatly increased when you drink

or take drugs and drive.

Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow

anyone to drive who has been drinking or

taking drugs.

Emission control

G

WARNING

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust

gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling

these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There

is a risk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave

the engine running in enclosed spaces

without sufficient ventilation.
