78 Driving
must use more force to steer or brake
the vehicle. Because the usual steering
and braking capability is not available,
the risk of accidents or injuries increases .
- Avoid high engine speed, full throttle,
and heavy engine load as long as the en­
gine has not reached operating tempera­
ture yet. You could damage the engine .
- The engine cannot be started by pushing
or towing.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately. This
reduces unnecessary emissions.
{D) Tips
- After starting a cold engine, there may
be a brief period of increased noise be­
cause the oil pressure must first build up in the hydraulic valve adjusters. This is
normal and not a cause for concern .
- If the . indicator light blinks in the in­
strument cluster before switching the ig ­
nition off, the ignition will not switch on
again.
9 page 193
- If you leave your vehicle with the ignition
switched on, the ignition will switch off
after a certain amount of time. Make
sure that electrical equipment such as
the exterior lights are switched off.

so be turned off while driving at speeds lower
than 6 mph (10 km/h). If you press the

appears. To
switch the engine off, press the
I S TAR T ENGINE ST OPI* button twice in a row
briefly or press and hold for longer than two
seconds.
A WARNING ~
- Never turn off the engine before the ve- hicle has come to a complete stop . The
full function of the brake booster and the
power steering is not guaranteed . You
must use more force to turn or brake if
necessary. Because you cannot steer and
brake as you usually would, this could
lead to crashes and serious injuries.
- Please note that the brake booster and
power steering only work when the en­
gine is running. When the engine off, you
must use more force to steer or brake
the vehicle. Because the usual steering
and braking capability is not available,
the risk of accidents or injuries increases.
- Always take the vehicle key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even for a
short period of time. This applies partic­
ularly when children remain in the vehi­
cle . Otherwise the children could start
the engine or operate electrical equip­
ment such as power windows.
- For safety reasons, always park the vehi­
cle with the selector lever in the P posi­
tion. Otherwise, there is the risk that the
vehicle could roll.
