ARNING Risk of accident and injury due
to being under the in uence of alcohol
and drugs while driving
Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and
driving are very dangerous combinations. Even
a small amount of alcohol or drugs can a ect
your re exes, perceptions and judgment.
The possibility of a serious or even fatal acci-
dent are greatly increased when you drink or
take drugs and drive.
Do not drink or take drugs and drive or
#
allow anyone to drive who has been
drinking or taking drugs.
& W W ARNING
ARNING Risk of accident due to the
brake system overheating
If you leave your foot on the brake pedal when
driving, the brake system may overheat.
This increases the braking distance and the
brake system can even fail.
Never use the brake pedal as a footrest.
#
Do not depress the brake pedal and the
#
accelerator pedal at the same time while
driving.
* N N O O TE TE Damage to the vehicle due to not
observing the maximum permitted head-
room clearance
If the vehicle height is greater than the maxi-
mum permitted headroom clearance, the roof
and other parts of the vehicle may be dam-

aged.
Observe the signposted headroom clear-
#
ance.
If the vehicle height is greater than the
#
permitted headroom clearance, do not
enter.
Observe the changed vehicle height with
#
add-on roof equipment.

When driving with a loaded roof luggage rack or
trailer as well as with a fully laden or fully occu-
pied vehicle, the vehicle's driving and steering
characteristics change.
You should bear the following in mind:
Do not exceed the permissible roof load and
R
towing capacity. Also observe the technical
data in the printed Operator's Manual.
Evenly distribute the roof load, and place
R
heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply with
the notes on loading the vehicle
(
page 119).
/
Drive attentively, and avoid suddenly pulling
R
away, braking and steering as well as rapid
cornering.
N N o o t t es on dr
es on driving on salt-tr
iving on salt-treat
The braking e ect is limited on salt-treated roads.
Therefore, observe the following notes:
Due to salt build-up on the brake discs and
R
brakepads, the braking distance can increase
considerably or result in braking only on one
ailer or fully
side
Maintain a much greater safe distance to the
R
vehicle in front
eated r
ed roads
