Introduction to the topic

DANGER

Swallowing a 20 mm diameter battery or any

other button cell battery can cause serious or

even fatal injuries in a very short time.

Inform the emergency services and persons

involved in the accident that it is a hybrid

vehicle.

Do not attempt to extinguish the fire yourself.

Do not stay near the burning vehicle.

● Always keep the vehicle key and key fobs

containing batteries, as well as spare

batteries, button cells and other batteries

larger than 20 mm out of the reach of

children.

WARNING

For your own safety, do not ignore this

important checklist, otherwise serious accidents

and injuries may occur.

● If you suspect that a battery may have

been swallowed, seek medical attention

immediately.

● Always follow the instructions in the

checklist and observe the generally

applicable safety measures.

WARNING

Careless or careless use of the vehicle keys

can lead to accidents and serious injuries.

● When leaving the vehicle, never leave a

vehicle key inside the vehicle. Otherwise, a

child or unauthorised person could lock the

doors and tailgate, start the engine or

switch on the ignition and thus operate

electrical equipment such as the power

windows.

● Never leave children or other persons in

need of assistance unattended in the

vehicle, because in an emergency they

would be unable to leave the vehicle or to

fend for themselves. For example,

depending on the season, very high or very

low temperatures can occur in a closed

vehicle, which can lead to serious injury

and illness or even death, especially in the

case of small children.

● Never switch off the ignition when the

vehicle is in motion. The steering column

lock could be activated or the steering lock

could be engaged and it would not be

possible to control the vehicle.
