Operation
Key not authorised for the vehicle
If a key which is not authorised for this vehi-
cle is inserted in the ignition lock, it can be
removed as follows:
●
Automatic gearbox: the key cannot be re-
moved from the ignition lock. Press and re-
lease the selector lever locking button. Key
can be removed from the vehicle.
●
Manual gearbox: Remove the key from the
ignition.
WARNING
Switching off the engine while driving makes
stopping the vehicle difficult. As a conse-
quence you may lose control of the vehicle
and there is a risk of serious accident.
The assisted braking and steering systems,
●
the airbag system, seat belts and certain
safety equipment are only active while the
engine is running.
●
The engine should only be switched off
when the vehicle is at a standstill.
WARNING
While the engine is running or starting it
could help reduce the risk of serious injury.
Never start or leave the engine running in
●
poorly ventilated or closed spaces. Exhaust
gas contains carbon monoxide, a toxic, col-
ourless and odourless gas. Carbon monoxide
can cause people to lose consciousness. It
can also cause death.
Never leave the vehicle unattended if the
●
engine is running. The vehicle could move off
suddenly or something unexpected could
happen resulting in damage and serious in-
jury.
●
Never use start boosters. Cold start sprays
could explode or increase the engine speed
unexpectedly.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system reach
very high temperatures. This could cause a
fire and considerable damage.
Always park your vehicle so that no part of
●
the exhaust system can come in contact with
flammable materials (such as wood, leaves,
spilled fuel, dried grass, etc).
●
Never apply additional underseal or anti-
corrosion coatings to the exhaust pipes, cata-
lytic converter or the heat shields on the ex-
haust system.
WARNING
Unsuitable or careless use of the vehicle key
could result in serious injury.
Always take all the keys with you whenever
●
you leave the vehicle. If not, the engine could
accidentally be started and electrical equip-
ment such as the windows could accidentally
be operated resulting in serious injury.
Never leave children or disabled people
●
alone in the car. Passengers could be trapped
