– Exhaust system may smoke slightly,
even after the engine is switched off.
– Noises such as those caused by the radi-
ator fan running, even several minutes
after the engine is switched off.
Overrun of the radiator fan for several mi-
nutes is normal even after short trips.
Cleaning the exhaust gas particulate
filter while driving
The self-cleaning function of the diesel
particulate filter takes place automatically.

ment of the driving style.
Vehicle laminated glass
The vehicle laminated glass provides com-
plete protection against the harmful effects
of ultraviolet radiation on the skin.
Mobile communications in the
vehicle
Warning
Vehicle electronics and mobile communi-
cation devices can influence one another.
There is radiation due to the transmission
operations of mobile communication devi-
ces. There is a risk of injury or risk of dam-
age to property. If possible, only use mo-
bile communication devices, e.g., mobile
phones, when connected directly to an ex-
ternal antenna or Personal eSIM in order
to prevent mutual interference and to de-
flect radiation from the vehicle interior.
Aquaplaning
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water
can form between the tires and road sur-
face.
This phenomenon is referred to as aqua-
planing. It is characterized by a partial or
complete loss of contact between the tires
and the road surface, ultimately undermin-
ing your ability to steer and brake the vehi-
cle.
