1.1 Safety precautions for working on vehi‐
cles with start-stop system
Risk of injury as a result of automatic engine start in vehicles with
start/stop system.
In vehicles with the start/stop system activated (identifiable by an
indication in the dash panel insert) the engine can start automat‐
ically if required.
– Make sure that the start-stop system is deactivated when car‐
rying out work on the vehicle (switch ignition off, if necessary
switch ignition on again).
1.2 Safety precautions during road tests in
which testing and measuring equipment
is used
There is an increased risk of injury or accident from unintended
motion and insufficient securing of testers and measuring instru‐
ments.
There is a risk of injury from the release of the passenger airbag
in the event of an accident.
Operation of test and measuring instruments by the driver while
driving may result in deviating from the direction of travel.
– Fasten test and measurement equipment with a strap on the
rear seat and secure their operation by another person sitting
on the rear seat.
1.3 Safety measures during towing/tow-
starting
Risk of damage to gearbox.
• When towing the vehicle, the selector lever must be in position
“N” and it must not be towed further than 50 km and faster than
50 km/h, otherwise the gearbox will be destroyed.
• It is not possible to tow start an engine, e.g. if the battery is
weak or the starter does not operate.
1.4 General safety instructions
Risk of accident and injuries when unintentionally engaging a
driving position while the engine is running.
• Before working on the engine when the engine is running,
push the selector lever in position “P” and apply handbrake.
