WARNING
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate
ventilation can allow harmful exhaust
fumes to enter the vehicle. The
exhaust fumes contain pollutants
which are colourless and odourless.
In enclosed spaces, the exhaust
fumes can also build up outside the
vehicle. There is a danger of fatal
injury. Keep the exhaust pipe clear
and ensure sufficient ventilation.
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can start mov-
ing and rolling away. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. Before leaving the
vehicle, secure it to prevent it from
rolling away.
Observe the following to ensure that
the vehicle is secured against rolling
away:
• Apply the parking brake.
• Turn the front wheels towards the
kerb on upward or downward gradi-
ents.
• Additionally secure the vehicle on
upward or downward gradients, for
example with a chock.
NOTICE
Repeated start attempts or starting
several times in quick succession
means that fuel is not burned or is
inadequately burned. The catalytic
converter can overheat. There is a
danger of damage to property. Avoid
repeatedly starting in quick succes-
sion.
