G
WARNING
If you shift down on aslippery road surface in
an attempt to increase the engine's braking
effect, the drive wheels could lose their grip.
This increases the risk of skidding and having
an accident.
Do not shift down for additional engine brak-
ing on aslippery road surface. G
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or adequate
ventilation is not possible, poisonous gases
such as carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the vehicle .This is the case, e.g. if the vehicle
becomes trapped in snow. There is arisk of
fatal injury.
If you leave the engine or the auxiliary heating
running, make sure the exhaust pipe and area
around the vehicle are clear of snow. To
ensure an adequate supply of fresh air, open a window on the side of the vehicle that is not
facing into the wind.

pery road surfaces .Avoid sudden accelera-
tion, steering and braking manoeuvres. If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot be
stopped when moving at low speed:
X Vehicles with manual transmission:
shift to neutral.
X Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position N.
X Try to bring the vehicle under control by
using corrective steering.
The outsid etemperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.

ing point do not guarantee that the road sur-
face is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areasoronb ridges. The

driving style. Alwaysa dapt yourdriving style
and drive at aspeed to suit the prevailing
