A WARNING
Switching the engine off while the vehicle Is moving makes it more difficult to stop the ve-hicle. This can lead to loss of control of the vehicle and to accidents and severe Injuries.
• Braking and steering support systems, the alrbag system, the belt tens loners and other items of safety equipment in the vehicle are only active when the engine is running.
A WARNING (Continued)
• The engine should only be switched off when the vehicle Is stationary.
A WARNING
The risk of serious Injury can be reduced with the engine running or when starting the en-glne.
• Never start or run the engine In unventlla-ted or closed spaces. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness. it can also cause death.
• Never start or run the engine if oil, fuel or any other highly flammable fluids are under or near the vehicle, or are leaking out of the vehicle, e.g. as the result of damage.
• Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running, particularly if a gear or driving mode has been selected. The vehicle could move suddenly or something unexpec-ted may happen that may cause damage, fire and serious Injuries.
• Never use a start booster. Start boosters may explode and cause the engine to sud-denly run at high revs.
A WARNING
The components of the exhaust system be-come very hot. This can cause fires and sari-ous Injuries.
• Never park the vehicle where parts of the exhaust system can come Into contact with Inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. undergrowth, leaves, dry grass, split fuel.
• Never apply additional undersea! or anti-corrosion coatings to the exhaust pipes, cat-a lytic converters or heat shields.
Starting the engine, changing gear and parking I 257

A WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction and skidding, particularly on slippery roads. This can cause you to lose control of the ve-hicle, which can lead to accidents and seri-ous Injuries.
Warning and indicator lamps
A WARNING (Continued)
• The kickdown function or fast acceleration should only be used If the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions permit.
A WARNING
Never "ride" the brake pedal. Do not overuse the brake pedal. Constant braking will cause the brakes to overheat. This can considerably reduce the brake effect, Increase the braking distance and, in certain circumstances, cause the brake system to fall completely.
CD
• Never let the brakes "rub" by applying light pressure to the brake when it Is not necessary to brake. This will Increase levels of wear.
• Before driving down a long, steep gradient, reduce speed and change to a lower gear or move the selector lever to a lower position. This will make use of the engine braking effect and relieve the load on the brakes. The brakes could otherwise overheat and possibly fall. The brakes should only be used to slow or stop the vehicle. ro First read and observe the Introductory Information and safety warnings .1:. on page 260.
