w
orking and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.

In
difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
t
he need to brake and increase the distance
f
rom other vehicles.

(
10 km/h),
-
d

ngine. Never
drive with the parking brake
a
pplied - Risk of overheating and
d
amage to the braking system!
Do
not park or run the engine when
s
tationary in areas where inflammable
s
ubstances and materials (dry grass,
d
ead leaves...) might come into contact
w
ith the hot exhaust system - Risk of
f
ire!
Never
leave a vehicle unsupervised
w
ith the engine running. If you have
t
o leave your vehicle with the engine
r
unning, apply the parking brake
a
nd put the gearbox into neutral or
