\nWARNINGRisk of accident when switch‐ing offthe ignition when driving
Ifyou switchoffthe ignition while driving,safety functions arerestricted or no longeravailable. This may affectthe powersteeringsystem andthe brakeforce boosting,forexample.
You willthen needtouse considerably moreforcetosteer and brake.
Do not switch offthe ignition while driv‐ing.
\nDANGERRisk offatal injuries duetoexhaustgases
Combustion engines emit poisonousexhaustgases such as carbon monoxide. Inhalingtheseexhaustgases is hazardoustohealthand can leadtopoisoning.

NOTEDamagetothe drivetrain andengine when pullingaway
Do notwarmupthe engine whilethevehicle isstationary.Pullawayimmedi‐ately.
Avoid high engine speeds and driving atfullthrottle untilthe engine hasreachedits operatingtemperature.
NOTEDamagetothe catalytic converterduetonon-combusted fuel
The engine is notrunning smoothly and ismisfiring.
Non-combusted fuel mayget intothe cata‐lytic converter.
Only depressthe accelerator pedalslightly.
Havethe causerectified immediately ataqualified specialistworkshop.
Limited braking effect on salt-treatedroads:
RDuetosalt build-up onthe brake discs andbrakepads,the braking distance can increaseconsiderably orresult in braking only on oneside
RMaintain a much greater safe distancetothevehicle in front
Toprevent salt build-up:
RBrake occasionally while paying attentiontothe traffic conditions
RCarefully depressthe brake pedal atthe endofthe journey and whenstartingthe nextjourney
