Driving through water on roads

WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge, etc., the brakes react
slower and need longer stopping distances.
Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a
few careful applications of the brake. Make sure not to endan-
ger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
Avoid abrupt or sudden braking maneuvers immediately after
driving through water.
NOTICE
Vehicle components such as the engine, transmission, sus-
pension or electrical system may be severely damaged by driv-
ing through water.
Never drive through salt water. Salt causes vehicle corrosion.
Thoroughly rinse with fresh water all vehicle parts that were ex-
posed to salt water.

NOTICE
Please be careful when parking your vehicle in areas with
parking barriers or curbs. These vary in height and could dam-
age your bumper and related parts if the front of your vehicle
hits a barrier or curb that is too high while you are getting into or
out of a parking spot.
Always be careful when you enter a driveway or drive up or
down steep ramps or over curbs or other obstacles. Parts of the
vehicle close to the ground may be damaged (such as bumper
covers, spoilers, and parts of the engine, suspension, and ex-
haust systems).

2 Slight differences to these figures are possible, depending on wheel and tire size fitted and the level selected.

Vehicle key set

WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It
can be used to start the engine and operate vehicle systems
such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
Children or other unauthorized persons could also lock the
doors and the luggage compartment.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could leave people
trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time
of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehi-
cle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock
and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.
