Start-Stop-System*
Note the information in c> page 79, Start-Stop­
System.
A WARNING
- Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces, because this increases the risk of as­
phyxiation.
- Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
- The brake booster and power steering no
longer function when you stop the engine.
You must use more force when braking or
steering. Because you cannot brake and

heavy engine load as long as the engine has
not reached operating temperature yet. You

Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately. This re­
duces unnecessary emissions.

Driving
{!) Tips
- After starting a cold engine, there may be a
brief period of increased noise because the
oil pressure must first build up in the hy­
draulic valve adjusters. This is normal and
not a cause for concern .

switched on, the ignition will switch off af­
ter a certain amount of time. Make sure that electrical equipment such as the exterior
