Driving instructions

Standing water
!
Do not drive through flooded areas
or water of unknown depth. Before
driving through water, determine its
depth. Never accelerate before driv-
ing into water. The bow wave could
force water into the engine and aux-
iliary equipment, thus damaging
them.
If you must drive through standing
water, drive slowly to prevent water
from entering the passenger com-
partment or the engine compart-
ment. Water in these areas could
cause damage to electrical compo-
nents or wiring of the engine or
transmission, or could result in water
being ingested by the engine
through the air intake causing severe
internal engine damage. Any such
damage is not covered by the
Maybach Limited Warranty.

Always fasten items being carried as se-

In an accident, during hard braking or sud-

around inside the vehicle, and cause injury
to vehicle occupants unless the items are
securely fastened in the vehicle.
The trunk is the preferred place to carry
objects.
