Driving and parking

Risk of fire
The exhaust system can become very hot,
especially after a long journey. Do not park
the vehicle next to easily ignitable material
(straw, petrol, leaves, etc.), e.g. in a field.
The flammable material may otherwise ig-
nite and set fire to parts of the vehicle.

After a cold start

Warm the engine up quickly.
You can use the engine's full power
once it has reached operating temper-
ature.

Risk of accident
There is no power assistance for the steer-
ing and braking when the engine is not run-
ning.
You will require considerably more effort to
steer and brake. You could therefore lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Never switch off the engine while the vehicle
is in motion.
