This could impair the function of the
seat belts.
After driving off-road or on construc-
tion sites
Warning
Dirt on the vehicle can affect road and oper-
ating safety.
In particular, the following dangers can arise:
Stone chippings
Stones trapped between the tires can be
thrown out while the vehicle is in motion and
injure other road users or damage their ve-
hicles (in particular the windshield).
Risk of skidding
Dirt and mud on the tires/road surface re-
duce wheel grip. This is especially so if the
road surface is wet. The vehicle could then
start to skid.
Risk of slipping
Dirt and mud on the steps and entrances
make the steps less safe. As a result you
G
could slip from the steps and injure yourself.
For this reason, always clean your vehicle
carefully after driving off-road and on con-
struction sites before using public roads.
If you use a high-pressure cleaner or auto-
matic car wash for this purpose, you must
follow the relevant safety instructions in this
section.
