WARNING
Getting out of your vehicle with the
transmission not fully engaged in park
position Pis dangerous. When the drive
system is switched off and the brakes are
released, the vehicle can be moved freely
with the gear selector lever in all
positions except park position P. Also,
when parked on an incline, park position
P alone may not prevent your vehicle from
moving, possibly hitting people or
objects.
Always engage the parking brake in
addition to shifting to park position P.
When parked on an incline, always turn the
front wheels towards the curb. G
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the starter switch, take it with
you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave
children unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Children
could release the parking brake and/or
move the gear selector lever from park
position P, either of which could result in
an accident and/or serious personal
injury.
Brake pedal The brake pedal has two brake circuits
independent of each other. When the
ignition is switched on, a brake servo is
used during braking to increase pedal
force.
G
WARNING
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. G
WARNING
Considerably more effort will be required
to apply the brakes if
R the brake servo has failed
R a brake circuit has failed
R the ignition is switched off, e.g. for
towing the vehicle
The braking distance is likewise greater.
Make sure the drive system is active
whenever the vehicle is rolling. Have the
brake system repaired at an authorized
electric drive smart center, if there is a
fault in the brake system. 76
