the country-specific regulations concerning high-visibility waistcoats.
Take all vehicle keys with you when you leave the vehicle.
Place the warning triangle in position to draw the attention of other road users to your vehicle.
Allow the engine to cool down and seek expert assistance.
When the hazard warning lights are switched on, for example if the vehicle is being towed, you can still indicate a change in direction or lane
change by operating the turn signal/main beam lever. The warning lights will be interrupted temporarily.
Switch on the hazard warning lights:
When traffic ahead suddenly starts moving more slowly or you reach the tail end of a traffic jam, to will warn vehicles behind you.
When there is an emergency.
When the vehicle breaks down.
When tow-starting or towing.
Always follow local regulations for the use of the hazard warning lights.
If the hazard warning lights are not working, you must use an alternative method of drawing attention to the broken-down vehicle. This method
must comply with traffic legislation.
WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.
Always follow the instructions in the checklist and observe the general safety procedures.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry
grass, fuel.
WARNING
Broken-down vehicles on the road increase the risk of accidents, both for you and other road users.
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so. Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic in order to lock all doors
securely in an emergency. Switch on the hazard warning lights to warn other road users.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle when the doors are locked. This may mean that they are locked in
the vehicle in an emergency. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures.
NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the rear lights, the rear spoiler or large panels. This could damage the vehicle and loosen
the spoiler.
The vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of time – even when the ignition is switched
off.
If you brake hard at speeds over approximately 80 km/h (50 mph), the brake lights will flash to warn the traffic behind you. If you then
continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be switched on automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). The brake light
will light up steadily. Once the vehicle starts to accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again.
