Parking the vehicle safely
An improperly parked vehicle can roll away in an
uncontrolled manner, endangering persons or
causing vehicle damage.

the P button. If operating mode P flashes on
the instrument cluster, the parking lock is not
correctly engaged. Press the P button on the

tomatically when the ignition is switched off.
The exhaust system is very hot when the engine is
running and for a while after the engine has been
stopped. Risk of burns and fire!

bustible materials, such as dry grass or leaves,
can come into contact with the hot exhaust
system.
e If you are standing behind the vehicle, maintain
a safe distance from the tailpipes.
e Make sure that children do not burn themselves
on the tailpipes.
