WARNING
●
The risk of an accident increases if your
vehicle breaks down. Always use the hazard
warning lights and a warning triangle (or light
beacon, depending on the country) to draw
the attention of other road users to your sta-
tionary vehicle.
●
Never leave anybody inside the vehicle,
particularly children or anybody who may
need help. This is especially important when
the doors are locked. Individuals locked in
the vehicle can be exposed to very high or
very low temperatures.
●
Due to the high temperatures that the
catalytic converter can reach, never park in
an area where the catalytic converter could
come into contact with highly inammable
materials, for example dry grass or spilt pet-
rol. This could start a re.
Note
●
The 12-volt vehicle battery will run down
if the hazard warning lights are left on for a
long time (even if the ignition is switched o).
●
The use of the hazard warning lights de-
scribed here is subject to the relevant statu-
tory requirements.
