Driving with a spare wheel fitted

See page 235.

Driving with the trunk lid/tailgate open

Avoid driving with the trunk lid/tailgate partly or fully open, since exhaust fumes can be drawn into the cabin.

If you must drive with the trunk lid/tailgate open, all windows and the moonroof 3 must be closed and the cabin fan on at its highest speed setting.

Driving in deep water

NOTICE

Do not drive in water deeper than

12inches (30 cm) and do not drive faster than 3–4 mph. Water can otherwise be sucked into the engine. The engine will be seriously damaged if water enters the intake system.

Towing the car

WARNING

•Remember that the brake servo does not operate when the engine is off. Much greater pressure than normal will therefore be required to operate the brake pedal.

•Nor does the steering servo operate when the engine is off. The steering will therefore be much heavier than usual.

•The towing vehicle should always be heavier than the vehicle on tow.

•Never allow passengers to ride in the car being towed.

•Always seek professional help if the car needs to be towed.
