WARNING
If you switch off the ignition while the vehicle
is in motion, safety-relevant functions are
restricted or not available. This can affect the
power steering function and the brake boost-
ing effect, for example. You will then require
considerably more force to steer and brake.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while the vehicle
is in motion.

The parking brake may not be sufficient to
secure the vehicle against rolling away on
uphill or downhill gradients. A vehicle with a
trailer/semitrailer or a laden vehicle could roll
away. There is a risk of accident.
In the test position, check if the parking brake
is sufficient to hold the tractor vehicle. If the
tractor vehicle is not held, secure the vehicle
and the trailer/semitrailer additionally using
wheel chocks. Secure the trailer/semitrailer
additionally using its parking brake.

WARNING
If you load the vehicle unevenly, driving char-
acteristics such as steering and braking
behaviour may be severely impaired. There is
a risk of an accident.
Load the vehicle evenly. Secure the load so
that it cannot slip.
The vehicle's driving, braking and steering
characteristics vary with the type, weight and
centre of gravity of the load.
