material coming in tocontact with hot
parts of theex haust system
If combustible materials, e.g. lea ves, grass or
twigs, come into contact with hot parts of the
ex haust system, they may igni te. #
When driving o.- road or on unpa ved sur-
fa ces, check the underside of theve hicle
at regular inter vals. #
In particular, remo veany trapped parts
of plants or other 0ammable material. #
If damage should occur, immediately
inform a quali/ed specialist workshop. When driving o.-road, sand, mud and
water or
wa ter mixed with oil, etc., may getinto the brakes.
This may lead toare duction in braking e.ect or
to ta l brake failure as a result of increased wear.
The braking characteristics will vary depending on
th e material that has entered the system. Clean
th e brakes aTer driving o.- road. If youth en notice
re duced braking e.ect or hear scraping noises,
ha ve the brake system checked at a quali/ed spe-
