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.
