During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
•Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
•Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
•Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
•Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
•Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.

WARNING
Never remove the key or turn the ignition switch
to the LOCK position while driving. The steering
wheel will lock and could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle. This could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury.
CAUTION
Use electrical accessories with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle battery. If
you must use accessories while the engine is not
running, do not use them for extended periods of
time and do not use multiple electrical accesso-
ries at the same time.

turn it gently while rotating the steering wheel slightly
right and left.
The ignition key can only be removed when the
switch is in the LOCK position (Normal parking po-
sition) (0).
XTRONIC TRANSMISSION (CVT)
The ignition lock is designed so that the key cannot
be turned to LOCK and removed until the shift lever
is moved to the P (Park) position.
When removing the key from the LOCK position of
the ignition switch, make sure that the shift lever is
in the P (Park) position.
The shift lever can only be moved from the P (Park)
position when the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion and the footbrake pedal is depressed.
To remove the key from the ignition switch:
1. Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position.
2. Turn the key to the LOCK position.
3. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
If the key is removed from the ignition switch, the
shift lever cannot be moved from the P (Park) posi-
tion.When the key cannot be turned toward the LOCK
position, proceed as follows to remove the key:
1. Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position.
2. Turn the key slightly in the ON direction.
3. Turn the key towards the LOCK position.
4. Remove the key.
STEERING LOCK
To lock the steering wheel
1. Turn the key to the LOCK position.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Turn the steering wheel 1/6 of a turn clockwise
from the straight up position.
To unlock the steering wheel
1. Insert the key into the ignition switch.

•Shift lever is in P (Park) (for XTRONIC transmis-
sion models).
The battery saver feature will be cancelled if any of
the following occur:
•Any door is opened.

•Ignition switch changes position.
CAUTION
•Do not leave the vehicle for extended periods
of time when the ignition switch is in the “ACC”
or “ON” position and the engine is not run-
ning. This can discharge the battery.
•Use electrical accessories with the engine
running to avoid discharging the vehicle bat-
tery. If you must use accessories while the
engine is not running, do not use them for
extended periods of time and do not use mul-
tiple electrical accessories at the same time.
LOCK position (normal parking position)

5-14Starting and driving

After step 4 is performed, when the ignition switch
is pushed without depressing the brake pedal, the
ignition switch position will change to “ACC”.
NOTE
•When the ignition switch is pushed to the
“ACC” or “ON” position or the engine is started
by the above procedures, the Intelligent Key
system warning light may blink in yellow (on
the meter) even if the Intelligent Key is inside
the vehicle. This is not a malfunction. To stop
the warning light from blinking, touch the ig-
nition switch with the Intelligent Key again.
•If the Intelligent Key system warning light in
the meter is blinking in green, replace the bat-
tery as soon as possible. (See “Integrated
keyfob/Intelligent Key battery replacement” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.)
MODELS WITH INTELLIGENT KEY
SYSTEM
1. Apply the parking brake. For additional informa-
tion, see “Parking brake switch” in the “3. Pre-
driving checks and adjustments” section.
2.Manual transmission models:
Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position,
and depress the clutch pedal to the floor while
starting the engine.
XTRONIC transmission (CVT) models:
Move the shift lever to the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position. (P position is preferred).
The starter is designed to operate only when
the shift lever is in the proper position.
The Intelligent Key (where fitted) must be car-
ried while inside the vehicle when operating
the ignition switch.
3. To start the engine:
•MT models – keep the clutch pedal
depressed and/or depress the brake pedal
then push the ignition switch to the “ON” po-
sition.
•XTRONIC transmission models – depress the
brake pedal then push the ignition switch to
the “ON” position.
NOTE
•To start the engine immediately, push and
release the ignition switch while depress-ing the brake pedal or clutch pedal with
the ignition switch in any position.
•For diesel engine models: In cold condi-
tions there may be a delay for a few sec-
onds before the engine cranks. This is due
to the glow plugs heating to ensure ad-
equate engine starting conditions. The
glow indicator light (
) will illuminate
during this delay, then the engine will start.
4. Immediately release the ignition switch when the
engine starts. If the engine starts, but fails to run,
repeat the above procedures.
NOTE
Petrol engine models:
•If the engine is very hard to start in ex-
tremely cold weather or when restarting,
depress the accelerator pedal a little (ap-
proximately 1/3 of the way to the floor)
and hold it and then crank the engine. Re-
lease the ignition switch and the accelera-
tor pedal when the engine starts.
•If the engine is very hard to start because
it is flooded, depress the accelerator pedal
all the way to the floor and hold it. Crank
the engine for 5-6 seconds. After cranking
the engine, release the accelerator pedal.
Crank the engine with your foot off the ac-
celerator pedal by turning the ignition
switch to START. Release the switch when
the engine starts. If the engine starts, but
fails to run, repeat the above procedure.

with a booster battery and jumper cables,
the instructions and cautions contained in
the “6. In case of emergency” section
should be carefully followed.
5. After starting, allow the engine to idle for at least
30 seconds to warm-up. Drive at moderate
