⚠️ Risk

null A cut-out in the vehicle floor may be missing meaning that the tail pipe of the warm-air auxiliary heating has not been fitted correctly. Exhaust gases from the auxiliary heating may consequently not be evacuated correctly and might to some extent penetrate the vehicle interior leading to a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning of the passengers. There is also a risk of the underbody panelling catching fire.
