6 Introduction
General information

When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the Park (P) position. To release the selector from this position, turn the igniti\
on

ss the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector

Keylock (automatic transmission)
When the ignition is switched off, the gear selector must be in the Park\
(P) position before the key can be removed from the ignition
switch.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system in your car performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehi\

The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible fr\
om the ABS control module. This is normal.

ll to open the fuel filler door.

After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until\
it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is
running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("Chec\
k Engine" light) may indicate a fault.

ourself with the new-engine oil consumption information on page

nd should be read after operating the vehicle for the first time.

On cars with a spare wheel, the jack and lug wrench are secured in a foa\
m plastic block placed in the
center of the wheel.
