136 Driving and Operating
Starting the Engine
Manual gearbox: Operate clutch
Automatic transmission : Operate
brake and move the selector lever
to P or N
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Turn the key briefly to position 3 and
release : An automatic procedure
operates the starter with a short
delay as long as the engine is
running, see Automatic Starter
Control.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn the key back to
position 0.During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down
to -25 °C for diesel engines and
-30 °C for petrol engines.
Diesel engines The start of the
engine without additional heaters is
possible down to -25 °C.
Petrol engines The start of the
engine without additional heaters is
possible down to -30 °C.
Required is an engine oil with the
correct viscosity, the correct fuel,
performed services and a
sufficiently charged vehicle battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C, the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx.
5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in
position P.
Automatic starter control
This function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not need to hold the key in
position 3.
Once applied, the system will go on
starting automatically until the
engine is running. Because of the
checking procedure, the engine
starts running after a short delay.
Possible reasons for a non-starting
engine:
.
clutch pedal not operated
(manual gearbox)
. time out occurred
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically
cut-off during overrun, i.e. when the
vehicle is driven with a gear
engaged but accelerator is released.
