DANGER Risk of fatalinjuries due to
exhaustgases
Combustionengines emit poisonous exhaust
gases suchascarbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaustgases is hazardoustohealth
and can lead to poisoning.

Neverleave theengine running in an
enclosedspace without sufficient venti‐
lation.

WARNING Risk of fire caused by hot
exhaustsystemparts
Flammable material suchasleaves, grass or
twigs mayigniteiftheycome intocontact

In particular,donot parkondry grass‐
land or harvested grain fields.
If thevehicle is predominantlyused forshortdis‐
tance driving or extendednon-operationaltimes,
this could lead to amalfunctioninthe automatic
cleaning function forthe diesel particulatefilter.
As aresult, permanent blocking of thediesel par‐
ticulatefilter mayoccur and fuel mayalso accu‐
mulateinthe engine oil and cause engine failure.
If youmainly driveshortdistances, youshould
driveonafreeway or go foracountrydrive for20
minutes every 500 km (300 miles). This facili‐

This will prevent uncontrolledbattery discharge
caused by quiescent current consumers.
If your vehicle is equipped withanauxiliary bat‐
tery in theengine compartmentorinthe base of
thefront-passengerseat, youmustdisconnect
both batteries. Onlythen is theelectrical system
fully disconnected from thepower supply.
