Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful
substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with household
waste...
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster...
Other information:
Switching on/pausing
Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "CRUISE" position
to select cruise control mode; the function is
paused.
Press button 2 or 3 to activate cruise control
and save a speed setting when the vehicle has
reached the desired speed; the vehicle’s current
speed is saved as the speed setting...
Never look too closely at
the luminous
beam of LED lamps: risk of serious eye
injury!
In some weather conditions
(e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes...
