WARNING
Improper use of operating fluids and equipment can cause ac-
cidents, serious personal injuries, burns and/or poisoning.
Always store vehicle care products in a safe place in original
containers that are securely closed.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never use empty food or
beverage containers that might mislead someone into drinking
from them.
Always keep vehicle care products out of the reach of chil-
dren.
Always read and heed all the instructions and all WARNINGS
on the package before using vehicle care products.
When using products that give off harmful fumes, always
work outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail polish remover or
other volatile fluids for vehicle care. They are poisonous and
highly flammable. They could cause fires and explosions!
NOTICE
Only refill with suitable operating fluids. When changing or
topping off fluids, make sure that you pour the fluids into the
correct reservoirs. Adding incorrect fluids will cause serious
malfunctions and engine damage! Under no circumstances
should you mix up operating fluids. Otherwise serious malfunc-
tions and engine damage can occur!
Accessories and other things installed in front of the cooling
air intakes impair the efficiency of the engine coolant. The en-
gine can overheat under high outside temperatures or under
high engine loads!
Leaking operating fluids can pollute the environment. Collect
leaking operating fluids in suitable containers and dispose of them
properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regu-
lations.

WARNING
Improperly lifting your vehicle with a workshop hoist or a floor
jack can cause the vehicle to fall off and cause serious person-
al injury.
Always read and heed the operating instructions from the
floor jack manufacturer and legal regulations if necessary be-
fore using the floor jack to lift the vehicle.
Never let anyone stay in the vehicle when it is being lifted or
when it is off the ground.
Always lift your vehicle only at the designated lift points
shown in the illustrations ⇒ fig. 173 and ⇒ fig. 174. Not using the
designated lift points can cause the vehicle to fall off the floor
jack when heavy parts such as the engine or transmission are
removed.
Always make sure that the vehicle's lift points lie as flat as
possible and centered on the carrier plates of the floor jack.
Never start the engine when you have raised the vehicle on
the floor jack. The engine vibrations and vehicle movements
could knock the vehicle off the floor jack.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never use the floor jack as a ladder or step ladder.
Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle is not heavi-
er than the lifting capacity of the floor jack and safety stands
being used.
NOTICE
To help prevent serious vehicle damage, never lift the vehicle
by the engine oil pan, transmission housing, or by the front or
rear axles or suspension.
To help prevent damage to the underbody or chassis, always
insert a rubber pad between the hoist and the lifting points. In
addition make sure the lifting arms have enough clearance.
The lifting arms should not touch side sills or other parts of
the vehicle.

When not to tow your vehicle
In the following situations, the vehicle cannot be towed and must be
transported on a flatbed truck or trailer:
If transmission fluid has leaked out of the transmission.
If there is little or no oil in the transmission because of damage to
your vehicle, it must be moved with the drive wheels off the ground.
If the front and rear wheels cannot turn.
When the vehicle battery is dead, because the steering may remain
disabled and it may not be possible to release the electronic steering
column lock. If the electronic parking brake was engaged when the
battery died, it cannot be released.
If you have to tow an automatic transmission vehicle more than
30 miles (50 km).
Towing other vehicles
Obey all legal requirements
Read and heed all towing information in the owner's manual for the
other vehicle.
A vehicle can be towed only if the electronic parking brake and
the electronic steering column lock are released. In case of a power
loss or malfunctions of the electrical system, the engine may have to
be jump-started ⇒ Jump-starting in order to release the electronic
parking brake and the electronic steering column lock.
