A
WARNING
l
Failure to observe
illuminated
warning lamps
and text messages can lead to your vehicle
breaking down in
traffic,
and can cause acci-
dent and serious injury.
Never
ignore
any illuminated warning
lamps or
text
messages.
Stop
the
vehicle as soon as possible and
when safe to do
so.
Broken-down vehicles increase
the
risk of
accidents both for you and for other road
users. If
necessary,
switch on the hazard
warning lights and set up the warning trian-
gle to warn other road users.
Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away
from moving traffic and ensure that no part of
the exhaust system can come
into
contact
with any inflammable material underneath the
vehicle,
e.g.
dry grass or fuel.
~
A WARNING
Streets and bridges can be
iced
over at out-
side temperatures above freezing point.
There may be black ice on the roads at
outside temperatures above +4°C (+39°F) and
also when no snowflake symbol is displayed
as a black ice
warning.
You should never rely solely on the out-
side temperature display!
