Operation Driving instructions Clean all exterior lamps and check them for possible damage. Check for brush or branches caught in the underbody. They could increase the possibility of a fire, as well as cut fuel and/or brake lines, puncture rubber bellows of the axles or drive shafts. After continued operation in mud, sand, water or other dirty conditions, clean the brake discs, wheels, brake pads and check and clean axle joints. Conduct a brake test. Control and operation of radio transmitters COMAND, radio and telephone* Warning! Telephones and two-way radios Warning! G G Do not forget that your primary responsibility is to drive the vehicle safely. Only operate the COMAND, radio or telephone1 if road, traffic and weather conditions permit. Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second. 1 Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. without being connected to an external antenna) from inside the vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could lead to a malfunction of the vehicle's electronic system, possibly resulting in an accident and/or personal injury. Observe all legal requirements. Radio transmitters, such as a portable telephone or citizens band unit should only be used inside the vehicle if they are connected to an antenna that is installed on the outside of the vehicle. Refer to the radio transmitter operation instructions regarding use of an external antenna. 231
