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 an activated start-stop system (indicated by a
message in the dash panel insert), the engine can start auto‐
matically if necessary.
– Make sure that the start-stop system is deactivated when
carrying out work on the vehicle (switch ignition off, if neces‐
sary switch ignition on again).
1.2 Safety precautions during road tests
in which testing and measuring equip‐
ment 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 po‐
sition “N” and it must not be towed further than 50 km
and faster than 50 km/h, otherwise the gearbox will be de‐
stroyed.
• 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.
