When the vehicle is stopped for a short period, for example at
trafficlights, it is only necessary to apply the brakes. It is not
necessary to move selector lever to “N N
”. The engine should
however only be running at idling speed.

On a gradient the handbrake should be applied firmly first and
then the parking lock engaged. This will ensure that the locking
mechanism is not too heavily loaded and makes the lock easier to
disengage.

In case of an electronic failure of the gearbox, emergency programs
are activated depending on the type of failure.
• The gear box continues to shift automatically, but strong jerking
is noticeable. Consult a Technical Service Centre.
• The gear box no longer shifts automatically.
In this case, you can shift manually. Only the 3 3r
rd
d
gear is available
in the positions "D D
", "3 3
" and "2 2
" of the selector lever.
In the positions "1 1
" and "R R
" of the selector lever, the 1 1s
st
t
gear and
reverse gear, respectively, are available as customary.
It may happen that the gear oil is overheated when the torque
converter has to work harder, especially if2 2n
nd
d
gear is missing.
In such cases, go to a Technical Service Centre as soon as possible.

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.

General notes
• Before starting, move gear lever to neutral (with automatic
gearbox, selector lever in “P” or “N” position) and apply handbrake
firmly.
• On vehicles with a manual gearbox depress the clutch pedal
when operating starter so that starter only has to turn engine.
• As soon as engine starts, release the ignition key so that starter
can disengage.
• After starting a cold engine it may sound noisy for a moment or
two because the oil pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for alarm.

• Do not over-rev or use full throttle until the engine has reached the normal
operating temperature.
• On vehicles with a catalytic converter the engine must not be started by
towing the vehicle in excess of 50 m. Otherwise unburned fuel can pass into
the converter and lead to damage.
• Before trying to start the engine by towing, an attempt should be made, if
possible, to use the battery of another vehicle

Please note regulations to this effect in your country.
• All-weather tyres can also be used instead of winter tyres.
• If you have a flat tyre the remarks on using the spare wheel on
page 174 should be noted.
• Do not leave winter tyres fitted for an unnecessary long period
because when the roads are free of snow and ice the handling with
summer tyres is better.

For environmental reasons summer tyres should be fitted again as soon as
possible because normally they are quieter in running, tyre wear is reduced
and the fuel consumption is lower.

Snow chains
Snow chains can only be fitted on the front wheels.
The use of snow chains is permitted on 155/80 R 13, 165/70 R 14
and 185/60 R 14 tires.

When using snow chains wheel rim plates and rim rings must be
taken off. In this case, to protect the wheel, the bolts must then be
fitted with caps which are available from Technical Service Centres.When driving over roadswhich are free of snow you must remove
the chains. On such roadsthey are detrimental to vehicle handling,
damage the tyres and wear out quickly.
In some countries the maximum permissible speed with snow
chains is 50 km/h.

Preparation work
– In case of a flat tyre or puncture, park the vehicle as far as
possible away from the traffic flow. If necessary, switch hazard
warning lights on and place the warning triangle in position – note
any statutory requirements.
– All vehicle occupants should leave the vehicle and move to a
safe area (e.g. behind safety barrier).
– Apply handbrake firmly, engage a gear or place the gear selector
in position “P” and chock the opposite wheel with a stone or
similar.
– When towing a trailer, the trailer must first be disengaged from
the towing vehicle before the wheel is changed.
– Take tools and spare wheel out of luggage compartment.
