DRIVING TIPS
Mobile radio in the vehicle
Warning
Vehicle electronics and mobile communica-
tion devices can influence one another. There
is radiation due to the transmission oper-
ations of mobile communication devices.
There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to
property. If possible, in the car's interior only
use mobile communication devices, such as
mobile phones, with a direct connection to
an external antenna or the Personal eSIM in
order to prevent mutual interference and to
deflect radiation from the vehicle interior.
Aquaplaning
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can
form between the tires and road surface.
This phenomenon is referred to as aquaplan-
ing. It is characterized by a partial or complete
loss of contact between the tires and the road
surface, ultimately undermining your ability to
steer and brake the vehicle.

ing:
▷ Drive through calm water only.

Safety information
NOTICE
When driving too quickly through deep wa-
ter, the water can penetrate under the hood,
into the electrical system or into the transmis-
sion. There is a risk of damage to property.
When driving through water, do not exceed
the maximum indicated water level and the
maximum speed for driving through water.
Braking safely
General information
The vehicle is equipped with an Antilock Brak-
ing System as a standard feature.
Perform emergency braking in situations that
require such.
Steering is still responsive. You can still avoid
any obstacles with a minimum of steering
movement.
The pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds
from the hydraulic circuits indicate that the An-
tilock Braking System is in its active mode.
In certain braking situations, the perforated
brake disks can emit function-related noises.
However, function-related noises have no ef-
fect on the performance and operational relia-
bility of the brake.
Objects in the travel path of the pedals
Warning
Objects in the driver's footwell can limit the
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
There is a risk of accident. Stow objects in the
vehicle such that they are secured and can-
not enter into the driver's footwell. Use floor
mats that are suitable for the vehicle and
can be safely attached to the floor. Do not
use loose floor mats and do not layer several
floor mats. Make sure that there is sufficient
