For more information on the EDS system
⇒page 164.K
Electronic immobilizer*
When switching the ignition on, the data from the vehicle key is
automatically processed. The warning lamp will flash to confirm
that the data is being compared.
If a non-authorized key is used the warning lamp will flash
permanently. The ignition will not work
⇒"Keys" chapter.K
Brakes/Hand brake
The warning lamp must come on if
• the hand brake is set
If you drive with the hand brake set at more than 6 km/h an
acoustic warning signal will sound.
• the brake fluid level is too low
The ignition must be switched on.
In vehicles with anti-lock system* (ABS), the warning lamp comes
on for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting
the engine. If the ABS* system was faulty the brake warning lamp
would also come on together with the ABS.I If

When the ignition is switched on the selector lever is locked in the
positions "P P

To unlock press the brakes. This way, you will prevent involuntary
shifting of gears and moving of the vehicle.
When the selector lever is in the positions "P P
" and "N N
" the driver
will see a display on the digital screen of the instrument panel with
the message "PRESS BRAKES TO SHIFT GEAR WHILE CAR
STATIONARY". Furthermore, the shift area will display the symbol
which appeared earlier.
The selector lever lock is automatically unlocked in the "N N

Using the handbrake
To apply the handbrake pull lever up firmly. On hills the 1st gear or
with automaticgearbox the parking lock should also be engaged.
The handbrake should always be applied so firmly that it is not
possible to drive inadvertently with the handbrake on.
When handbrake is applied with the ignition on, the brake warning
lamp comes on.
To release handbrake, pull lever up slightly, press locking knob
(arrow) in and push lever right down.
