( page 26).
Driving and parking
Risk of fire G
The exhaust system can become very hot,
especially after a long journey. Do not park
the vehicle next to easily ignitable material
(straw, petrol, leaves, etc.), e.g. in a field.
The flammable material may otherwise ignite
and set fire to parts of the vehicle.
After a cold start
Warm the engine up quickly.
You can use the engine's full power
once it has reached operating temperature.
Pulling away on a slippery surface
!
Try not to let the drive wheels spin. You
could otherwise damage the drive
train.
Engage the differential locks as required
( page 174).

Driving tips
Risk of accident G
There is no power assistance for the steering
and braking when the engine is not running.
You will require considerably more effort to
steer and brake. You could therefore lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Never switch off the engine while the vehicle
is in motion.
