Preparing for a journey
Before a journey
G Warning
Pedal movement must not be obstructed. The
vehicle's operating and road safety are other-
wise jeopardized.
Objects could fall and get caught between
the pedals if you accelerate or brake sudden-
ly. You will no longer be able to brake or ac-
celerate. You could cause an accident, which
could result in injury to yourself and others.
O If floor mats and carpets are used, make
sure that these are secured correctly and
cannot slip and that there is sufficient
pedal clearance.
O Do not place any objects in the driver's
footwell.
O Store and secure all loose objects so they
cannot get into the driver's footwell while
the vehicle is in motion.
G Warning
The doors could open of their own accord
while the vehicle is in motion if they are not
fully closed. For this reason, please make
sure that all the doors are properly closed
and locked before driving off (
