flames and sparks away from it.
Certain functions are supported by sensors and cam-

Handling fluids
— If you suspect that the sensors and the cameras
may be damaged, seek assistance from a special-

Your vehicle uses various operating fluids that can
affect health or the environment when emitted.
These are fuel, oils, acid from the 12-volt vehicle
battery, coolant and brake fluid.
Engine compartment
— Only use operating fluids outdoors or in well-ven-
tilated areas. If necessary, wear protective equip-
ment.

Risk of scalding! Do not open the bonnet if steam or
coolant is escaping.

gine running.
— Stop the engine and allow it to cool.

less locking system, open the driver's door.
— Engine oil leaks can cause fire. Wipe away any
leaks using a cloth.
