always have service work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

do not depress the accelerator pedal when startingthe engine.

do not warm up the engine when the vehicle is stationary.

drive carefully and maintain asafe distance from the vehicle in front.

avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and braking.

change gear in good time and use each gear only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed.

switch off the engine in stationary traffic.

keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consumption.

Environmental concerns and recommendations

Operating safety

Important safetynotes

WARNING

If you do not have the prescribed service/ maintenancework or any required repairs carried out, this can result in malfunctions or system failures. There is arisk of an accident.

Introduction

Always have the prescribed service/maintenancework as well as any required repairs carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

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

When driving off road or on unpaved roads, checkthe vehicle's underside regularly. In particular, remove parts of plants or other flammable materials which have become trapped. In the case of damage, contact a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their function and/or the function of other networked components. In particular, systems relevant to safety could also be affected. As a result, these may no longer function as intended and/or jeopardizethe operatingsafety of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an accidentand injury.

Never tamper with the wiring as well as electronic componentsortheir software. You should have all work to electrical and electronic equipment carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.

There is arisk of damage to the vehicle if:

the vehicle becomes stuck,e.g. on ahigh curb or an unpaved road

you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a curb or ahole in the road

aheavy objectstrikes the undercarriage or parts of the chassis

In situationslike this, the body, the undercarriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires could be damaged without the damage being visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no longer withstand the strain they are designed to.

If the underbody paneling is damaged, combustible materials such as leaves, grass or twigs can gather between the underbody and the underbody paneling. If these materials come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust system, they can catchfire.

In such situations, have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at aqualified specialist workshop. If on continuingyour journey you notice that driving safety is impaired, pull over and stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention to road and traffic conditions. In such cases, consult aqualified specialist workshop.
