lid, make sure that it is latched. Other­
wise the luggage compartment lid could
sudden ly open when driving, which in­
creases the risk of an accident.

ment lid ajar or open, because poisonous
gases can enter the vehicle interior and
create the risk of asphyx iation . -
Never leave your vehicle unattended
when the luggage compartment lid is
open. A child could climb into the vehicle
through the luggage compartment. If
the luggage compartment lid was then closed, the child would be trapped in the
veh icle and unable to escape. To reduce
the risk of injury, do not allow children to
p la y in o r aro und the vehicle. Always
keep the luggage compartment lid and
the doors closed when the veh icle is not
in use.
- Always make sure no one is in the lug­
gage compartment lid's range of motion

(D Tips
-If it is difficult to turn the key to position
(D , turn the steering wheel back and
forth slightly to release the steering
wheel lock .
- 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 battery is disconnected and recon­
nected, you have to hold the ignition key
in position
(D for five seconds for the en­
gine to start .
- After switching the ignition off, you can
only remove the key when the selector
lever is in the "P" (Park) position. After
that the selector lever is locked.

theft .
_& 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 accidents and serious injuries . -
Never remove the ignition key from the
ignition look while the vehicle is moving .
Otherwise, the steering lock could sud­
denly engage and you would not be able
to steer the vehicle .
- 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.
- After the engine has been switched off,
the radiator fan can continue to run for
up to 10 minutes - even with the ignition
switched off. It can also switch on again
after some time if the coolant tempera­
ture rises as a result of heat buildup or if
the engine compartment is heated by
sunlight and the engine is hot .
(D Note
-If the engine has been under heavy load
for an extended period of time, heat
builds up in the engine compartment af­
ter the engine is switched off -there is a
risk of damaging the engine. For this
reason, let the engine run for at idle for
approximately two minutes before shut­
ting it off.
