Avoid using snow chains on the temporary spare

wheel.
Driving with a loaded roof rack
When transporting objects on the roof rack, the ve-
hicle's driving behaviour changes.
Adapt your speed and driving style to this.
▶
Towing a trailer
The vehicle's handling characteristics change with a
trailer. The assistance systems may behave different-
ly.
Drive more slowly, excessive speed can lead to loss
▶
of control of the vehicle.
Keep a larger distance from the vehicle in front.
▶
Do not exceed the max. vertical load and the per-
▶
missible trailer load.
Driving through water
There must be no water ingress into the vehicle sys-
tems e.g. into the engine's air intake system!
Therefore, determine the water depth before driv-
▶
ing through water. The water level must not ex-
ceed the lower edge of the lower beam.
Drive at max. walking speed. Otherwise, a wave
▶
may form in front of the vehicle, increasing the wa-
ter level.
Never stop in the water, do not drive backwards
▶
and never stop the engine.
Is something wrong?
Pay attention to changes in vehicle handling.
▶
If in doubt about safety, stop driving and seek the
▶
help of a specialist garage.
Unusual vibrations or the vehicle 'pulling' to the
▶
side may indicate a puncture.
If tyre pressure loss is very quick, try to stop the
▶
vehicle carefully without heavy steering or heavy
braking.
Immediately remove foreign bodies stuck in the
▶
tyre tread.
Do not remove foreign objects that have penetra-
▶
ted into the tyre. Check the tyre pressure and seek
the help of a specialised garage.
Immediately remove any objects jammed under
▶
the floor of the vehicle. These can damage the ve-
hicle or ignite and cause a fire.
Stop the vehicle safely!
A vehicle that has not been secured may roll away
and cause accidents.
For parking, look for a place with suitable ground.
▶
Do not park the vehicle on flammable materials
such as dried leaves, spilt fuel. Hot vehicle parts
can cause a fire.

▶
switches on. As a result, no doors or windows can
