Switching off the engine
When leaving the vehicle, always take
along the remote control; this precaution
prevents children from starting the engine, for
example. <
When parking, apply the parking brake
forcefully; otherwise, the vehicle could
begin to roll. On steep uphill and downhill
inclines, also secure th e vehicle by turning the
wheels toward the curb, for example.<
Manual transmission
1. With the car at a standstill, press the
Start/Stop button.
2. Shift into first gear or reverse.
3. Forcefully apply the parking brake.
4. Removing the remote control from the
ignition lock, refer to page 61.
Automatic transmission
1.With the car at a stan dstill, move the selec-
tor lever to position P.
2. Press the Start/Stop button.
3. Forcefully apply the parking brake.
4. Removing the remote control from the
ignition lock, refer to page 61.
Sport automatic transmission with
double clutch
1.With the car at a standstill, press the
Start/Stop button.
If the transmission is shifted into N when
the engine is switched off, you will be
notified visually and acoustically of this
fact.
2. Forcefully apply the parking brake.
3. Remove remote contro l from the ignition
lock, refer to page 61. The transmission is
automatically shifted into transmission

Parking brake
The parking brake is primarily intended to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling while parked; it
brakes the rear wheels.
Also follow the instructions on page 63, under
Switching off the engine.
Indicator lamp

The lever locks in po sition automatically.
Releasing
Pull slightly upwards, press the button and
lower the lever.
In exceptional cases, if the parking brake
has to be used to slow or stop the car, do
not pull the lever up too hard. In doing so, con-
tinuously press the button of the parking brake
lever.
Otherwise, excessive force on the parking
brake can lock up the rear wheels and cause the
rear of the car to swerve. <
To prevent corrosion and one-sided brak-
ing action, occasionally apply the parking
brake lightly when the vehicle is slowly coming
to a stop if the traffic conditions are suitable.
The brake lamps do not light up when the park-
ing brake is applied. <
