WARNING
A vehicle stopped without proper signalling
represents a major accident risk to itself and to
third parties in traffic.
● Stop the vehicle as soon as possible in a
safe place.
● Park the vehicle at a safe distance from the
flow of traffic to safely lock all doors in the
event of an emergency.
● Switch on the warning lights and use the
safety triangle to alert other drivers.
● Never leave children, handicapped persons
or persons with special needs alone in the
vehicle when the doors are locked. This may
cause them to be locked inside the vehicle
in an emergency. Locked-in persons may be
exposed to very high or very low
temperatures.

Observing the checklist is essential for the
safety of the driver, passengers and other
drivers to avoid possible accidents.
● Always follow the actions in the checklist
and observe the safety precautions
described therein.

This can lead to fires and serious injuries.
● Never park the vehicle in such a way that
parts of the exhaust system come into

underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass or
fuel.
