"Do not drive on unpaved terrain, as otherwise the vehicle might be damaged."


Perhaps something "lost in translation?"
Yeah, I found that interesting when I came across it the other night. Also there are some very odd phrases in the manual. One of which refers to "if your vehicle is equipped with only one drive" - what drive? What does that even mean? I'm assuming the dual optical disk drives for navigation/audio cd. Not sure though, still. The reason is because it was very out of context and the subject in the manual had nothing to do with the "amount of drives" on the truck.

I guess those Germans haven't mastered everything...ie: English.
