CAUTION
Pay attention to the ground clearance of the vehicle! When driving over ob-
■
jects which are larger than the ground clearance, the vehicle can get damaged.
Any objects that get trapped under the vehicle floor must be removed as
■
soon as possible. These items can cause damage to the vehicle (e.g. on parts of
the fuel system or the brake system).
Driving through water
The following must be observed to avoid damage to the vehicle when driving
through bodies of water (e.g. flooded roads).
›
Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through bodies of
water. The water level must not reach above the lower edge of the lower
brace » Fig. 261.
›
Drive at a maximum speed of walking pace, otherwise a shaft may form in
front of the vehicle which could enable water to enter the vehicle system
(e.g. in the air induction system of the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION
Water entering the vehicle systems (e.g. the air induction system of the en-
■
gine) can cause serious damage to the vehicle!
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
■
sible water level for your vehicle.
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. An vehicle
■
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.

Assist systems

General information


Introduction
WARNING
The assistance systems only serve to support the driver and do not re-
■
lieve the driver of the responsibility for driving the vehicle.
The increased safety provision, as well as the increased occupant protec-
■
tion provided by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take risks -
risk of accident!
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
■
and traffic conditions.
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
■
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
Only enable, disable or set the assistance systems when you have the car
■
fully under control, in every traffic situation - risk of accident!
