||STARTING AND DRIVING
426
NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be consid-
erably higher than normal for certain engine
types. This is done to get the emissions sys-
tem up to normal operating temperature as
quickly as possible, which minimizes exhaust
emissions and protects the environment.
CAUTION
•
When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly
higher engine speeds than normal until
the automatic transmission fluid reaches
normal operating temperature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has reached
the proper operating temperature.
• The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never accelerate
until the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-
ing rapidly before a gear is properly
engaged could lead to harder wear of
components.
• To help prevent the transmission oil from
overheating, select P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

• Selecting ignition mode (p. 428) Switching off the vehicle
The vehicle can be switched off using the start
knob in the tunnel console. Start knob in the tunnel console.
To switch off the vehicle:
– Turn the start knob clockwise and release to
switch off the vehicle. The control will auto-
matically return to the original position.
If the vehicle rolls:
– Turn clockwise and hold the knob until the
vehicle switches off.

||MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

NOTE
If the conditions for measuring oil level are
not properly fulfilled (time after engine shut-
down, vehicle inclination, ambient tempera-
ture, etc.) the message
No value available
will be shown in the center display. This does
not mean that anything is wrong in the vehi-
cle systems.
Related information
• Engine oil (p. 610)
• Engine oil specifications (p. 662)
• Ignition modes (p. 427)
• Vehicle status (p. 602) Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at
the right operating temperature. The heat trans-
ferred from the engine to the coolant can be
used to warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on
the package. Never fill the cooling system with
only water. The risk of freezing is increased with
too low or too high amounts of coolant.
If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke from
the cooling system, or if more than 2 liters (about
2 quarts) of coolant has been added to the sys-
tem, there could be something wrong with the
cooling system and starting the vehicle could
damage the engine. Call a tow truck and do not
attempt to start the engine.
WARNING The coolant may be very hot. Never unscrew
the cap when the coolant is hot. If coolant
must be filled, unscrew the expansion tank
cap slowly to relieve overpressure. Coolant expansion tank.
