Steering wheel lock
Remove key from ignition switch and
turn steering wheel until it engages.
9 Danger
Never remove the key from
ignition switch during driving as
this will cause steering wheel lock.
Starting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedals.
Automatic transmission: operate
brake pedal and move selector lever
to P or N.
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Diesel engines: turn the key to
position ON for preheating until
control indicator ! extinguishes
3 87.
Turn key briefly to position START
and release. Key returns
automatically to position ON.
Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn key back to LOCK.
Start attempts should not last longer
than 15 seconds. If engine does not
start, wait 10 seconds before
repeating starting procedure.
The increased engine speed
automatically returns to normal idling
speed as the engine temperature
rises. Drive at a moderate speed,
especially in cold weather, until
normal engine operating
temperatures have been reached.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Stop-start system 3 126.

126Driving and operatingStarting the vehicle at low
temperatures
In extremely cold temperatures, i.e.
below -20 °С, it may be necessary to
crank the engine for up to
30 seconds for it to start.
Turn key to position START and hold
until engine starts. Start attempts
should not last longer than
30 seconds. If engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before repeatingstarting procedure.
Ensure the engine oil is of the correct viscosity, the correct fuel is used,
vehicle services are performed
regularly and the battery is sufficiently
charged.
Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time,
especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.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.
Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam. It starts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch is depressed. A vehicle battery sensor
ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the vehicle battery is
sufficiently charged for a restart.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing s. The
deactivation is indicated when the
LED in the button extinguishes.
Fuel economy mode 3 122.
Autostop If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
● Depress the clutch pedal
● set the lever to neutral
● release the clutch pedal
