Driving and parking
Starting the engine
 | Risk of accident |
|
Do not keep any objects in the driver's footwell. If you use a floormat or carpet in the driver's footwell, make sure that they are correctly secured and that there is sufficient clearance for the pedals.
Objects could otherwise get between the pedals in the event of sudden braking or acceleration. You may then no longer be able to brake, change gear or accelerate as intended. This may result in an accident and injury.
|
| Risk of poisoning |
|
Never leave the engine running in enclosed spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes constitutes a health hazard and could lead to loss of consciousness or even death.
|
 | |
|
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.
|
 | |
|
If you depress the brake when starting the engine, pedal travel will be unusually long and there will be less pedal resistance.
