Folding down the rear seat backrests
ProCarManuals.com

The three sections of the rear seat backrest can be folded down in different combinations to make it easier to transport
long objects.
The left (driver's side) section can be folded down separately.
The center section can be folded down separately.
The right (passenger's side) section can be folded down together with the center section.
All three sections can be folded down together.
Release and lower the center head restraint (see page 86) if the center and/or right section of the backrest is to be
lowered. The outboard head restraints fold down automatically.
Pull up the backrest release control on the respective section(s) and fold the section(s) down.
NOTE
It may be necessary to move the front seats forward or put their backrests in a more upright position before folding
down the rear seat backrests.
WARNING
When the backrest(s) are returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. The red
indicators should not be visible.
Return the outboard head restraints to the upright position.
Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
Place the transmission in the Park ( P) position to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear selector.
On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high
temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at
risk.

these pedals is not impeded. Not more than one protective floor covering may be used at one time.
4. Press and release the START/STOP ENGINE button. The autostart function will operate the starter motor until the
engine starts.
The starter motor operates for a maximum of 10 seconds. If the engine has not started, repeat the procedure.
1On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, it is only necessary to have a remote control in the passenger's compartment.
2 If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the vehicle.
WARNING
Always remove the remote key from the ignition slot when leaving the vehicle, especially if there are children in
the vehicle.
Never remove the remote key from the ignition slot while driving or when the vehicle is being towed. The
steering lock could otherwise be activated, making it impossible to steer the vehicle. Never remove the remote key

Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the
vehicle unattended with the engine running.
Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.

Starting the engine
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal during cold starts. This is to enable emission control system
can reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which helps reduce exhaust emissions
1.
Keylock: Your vehicle is equipped with a keylock system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must
be in the Park position before the key can be removed
2 from the ignition slot.
1If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to
reach normal operating temperature.
2Does not apply to vehicles with the optional keyless drive.
CAUTION
When starting in cold weather, the automatic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than
normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.
Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough
to prevent engine damage.
The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accelerate until after you feel the
transmission engage. Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature
transmission wear.
Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the
