A WARNING l 
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps 
and text messages can lead to your vehicle 
breaking down in traffic, and can cause acci
dent and serious injury. 
• Never ignore any illuminated warning 
lamps or text messages. 
• Stop the  vehicle as soon as possible and 
when  safe to do so. 
• Broken-down vehicles increase the risk of 
accidents both for you and for other road 
users. If necessary , switch on the hazard 
warning lights and set up the warning trian
gle to warn other road  users. 
• Stop the vehicle  at a safe distance away 
from moving traffic and ensure that no part of 
the exhaust system  can come into contact 
with any inflammable material  underneath the 
vehicle, e.g . dry grass or fuel. 
~A WARNING 
Streets and bridges can  be iced over at out
side temperatures above freezing point. 
• There may be black ice on the roads at 
outside temperatures above +4°C (+39 °F) and 
also when no snowflake symbol is displayed 
as a black ice warning. 
•  You should never rely solely on the out
side temperature display! 
and text messages can lead to your vehicle be
ing damaged. 
m Di~erent instrument cluste~s are  available , 
L!J wh1ch means that the vers1ons and displays 
may  vary.
