● Always follow the actions in the checklist and observe the generally valid safety precautions.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
● Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material
underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass, fuel.
NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the rear lights or large metal panels. This could damage the
vehicle.
The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of time –
even when the ignition is switched off.
In some vehicles, if you brake hard at speeds over approximately 80 km/h(50 mph), the brake lights will flash
to warn the traffic behind. If you then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be switched on
automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). The brake light will light up steadily. Once the
vehicle starts to accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again.
