more force to turn or brake if necessary. Be­
cause you cannot steer and brake as you
usually would, this could lead to crashes
and serious injuries.

er steering only work when the engine is
running. When the engine off, you must use
more force to steer or brake the veh icle. Be­

bility is not avai lable, the risk of accidents or
injuries inc reases.
- Always take t he vehi cle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies partic ularly when chil­
dren remain in the vehicle . Otherwise the
children could start the engine or operate
electrical equipment such as power win­
dows.
- For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherw ise, there is the risk that the veh icle
could roll.
- After the engine has been switched off, the radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10
minutes -even with the ignition switched
off.
It can also switch on again after some
t ime if the coolant temperature rises as the
result of heat bu ildup or if the eng ine com­
partment is heated by the s un's rays and the
engine is hot .
(D Note
If the eng ine has been under heavy load for
an extended per iod of t ime, heat bu ilds up in
the eng ine comp artment after the engine is
sw itched off -there is a r isk of damaging the
engine. For this reason, let the engine run for
at idle for approximate ly two minutes before
shutting it off.
