Warning!
Do not place metal objects on the battery as
this could result in a short circuit.

of acid burns in the event of an accident.

Warning!
The SBC brake system requires electrical
power to operate.
A malfunction in the vehicle's power supply
or electrical system may impair brake sys-
tem operation and switch it into its emer-
gency operation mode. The same applies if
battery is disconnected. To brake, the driver
must then apply significantly greater brake
pedal pressure and depress the pedal much
further to obtain the expected braking ef-
fect. If necessary, apply full pressure to the
brake pedal. Brakes may only be applied to
the front wheels. Stopping distance is in-
creased! Adjust your driving style according-
ly. For more information, refer to "SBC brake
system" ( page 84).
