WARNING Failure to observe the warning lamps could lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and to accidents and serious injuries. ● Never ignore any warning lamps or text mes- sages that appear. ● Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so. ● Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and ensure that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass, fuel or oil, etc. ● Broken-down vehicles lacking due signalling increase the risk of accidents both for you and for other road users. Always switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle to warn other road users.
