General driving notes
Closing the tailgate
Safety information
Warning
An open tailgate protrudes from the vehi-
cle and can endanger occupants and other
road users or damage the vehicle in the
event of an accident, braking or evasive
maneuvers. In addition, exhaust fumes
may enter the vehicle interior. There is
a risk of injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Do not drive with the tailgate open.
Driving with the tailgate open
If the vehicle still needs to be driven with
the tailgate open:
– Close all windows and the glass sunroof.
– Greatly increase the blower output.
– Drive moderately.
Ice on window glass
NOTICE
The window will be lowered slightly when
pulling on the door handle. In the event of
frost, the window may be frozen solid and
may not be able to be lowered. There is a
risk of damage to property. When pulling
on the door handle, make sure that the
window is lowered. If necessary, remove
snow and ice from the window. Do not
open the door with force.
Hot exhaust system
Warning
High temperatures can occur underneath
the body, for instance caused by the ex-
haust system, while driving. Contact with
the exhaust system can cause burns. There
is a risk of injury. Do not touch the hot ex-
haust system, including the exhaust pipe.
Warning
If combustible materials, such as leaves or
grass, come in contact with hot parts of
the exhaust system, these materials can
ignite. There is a risk of fire and an injury
hazard. Do not remove the heat shields
installed and never apply undercoating to
them. Make sure that no combustible ma-
terials can come in contact with hot vehi-
cle parts while driving, in Neutral or dur-
ing parking.
Mobile radio 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
damage to property. If possible, in the car's
interior only use mobile communication
devices, such as mobile phones, with a di-
rect connection to an external antenna or
the Personal eSIM in order to prevent mu-
tual interference and to deflect radiation
from the vehicle interior.
