or tow-started. Use jump leads to start the engine instead.
Additional information and warnings:
- Braking, stopping and parking
- Manually closing or opening

WARNING
Switching the engine off while the vehicle is moving makes it more difficult to
stop the vehicle. This could lead to a loss of control over the vehicle as well
as to accidents and serious injuries.
- Braking and steering support systems, the airbag system, the belt tensioners
as well as various items of safety equipment in the vehicle will only be active
when the engine is running.
- The engine should only be switched off when the vehicle is stationary.

WARNING
The risk of serious injury can be reduced with the engine running or when starting
the engine.
- Never start or run the engine in unventilated or closed rooms. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Carbon
monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness. It can also cause death.
- Never leave the engine running if you leave the vehicle unattended. The
vehicle could move suddenly or something unexpected may happen that may cause
damage and serious injuries.
- Never use a start booster. Start boosters could explode and cause the engine
to suddenly rev.

WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This could lead to fires and
serious injuries.
- Never park the vehicle so that parts of the exhaust system can come into
contact with any inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. leaves, dry
grass, spilt fuel.
- Never apply underseal or anti-corrosion coatings to the exhaust pipes, catalytic
converter, diesel particulate filter or the heat shields on the exhaust system.
