Important safety notes
!
Always observe the ground clearance of the
vehicle and avoid obstacles. On vehicles with
a step, ground clearance is further restricted.
Obstacles can damage the vehicle.
If you must drive over obstacles, drive espe-
cially slowly and carefully. If necessary, have
another person direct you.
If you do not use the grab handle and the step,
you could injure yourself when getting in and out
of the vehicle.
In order to reduce risks:
R
draw the passengers' attention to the electri-
cal step. Wait until the electrical step is fully
extended.
R
do not jump out of the vehicle.
R
only use the grab handle and step. Only they
are designed for such a load.
R
keep grab handles, access steps and entry
sills free from dirt, e.g. mud, clay, snow and
ice.
