Warning
G
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are driving when
operating a cell phone in the vehicle.
If it is permitted to operate a cell phone
while the vehicle is in motion, you must only
operate it when road and traffic conditions
permit. You may otherwise be distracted
from the traffic conditions, cause an acci-
dent and injure yourself and others.
Cell phones without exterior antennas may
interfere with the vehicle electronics and
thereby jeopardize the operational safety of
the vehicle. You must therefore only use
these devices when they are connected to a
separate exterior antenna.

ing on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
may lose their grip and the vehicle could
skid.!
CAUTION
Only drive at high speeds once the en-
gine has warmed up. This protects the
engine.
When driving on slippery surfaces,
avoid spinning the drive wheels where
possible as this could damage the drive
train.

ture*, an audible warning sounds for
other road users when reverse gear is
engaged (\2page 153).
iDepending on the vehicle's settings,

pleted before pulling away.iAutomatic transmission upshifts are
made at higher engine speeds after a

verter to reach its operating tempera-
ture more quickly.
