Driving and operating141Parking9Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector
lever to position P. On an uphill
slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position
P . Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close the windows.
● Switch off the engine.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch or switch off
ignition on vehicles with power
button. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock is
felt to engage.
● Lock the vehicle.
● Activate the anti-theft alarm system.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 202.
Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.
Notice
In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, the engine is
switched off automatically if the
vehicle comes to a standstill within a
certain time.
Emergency operation under
extreme cold temperatures9 Warning
This emergency operation may
only be carried out in case of
extremely cold temperatures and if the vehicle is parked on a levelsurface.
In countries with extreme cold
temperatures it may be necessary to
park the vehicle without applied
parking brake.
This is an emergency operation to
avoid freezing of the parking brake.

264Customer informationOperating data in the vehicleControl units process data for
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, for example: ● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate, "seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient and is
not stored for longer than an
operational cycle, and only processed on board the vehicle itself. Often
control units include data storage
(including the vehicle key). This is
used to allow information to be
documented temporarily or
permanently on vehicle condition,
component stress, maintenance
requirements and technical events
and errors.Depending on technical equipment
levels, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,
brakes)
● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used where necessary. Staff working
for the service network ( e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data read documents the
technical condition of the vehicle or
individual components and assists
with fault diagnosis, compliance with
warranty obligations and quality
improvement. This data, in particular
information on component stress,
technical events, operator errors and
other faults, is transmitted to the
manufacturer where appropriate,
together with the vehicle identification number. The manufacturer is also
subject to product liability. The
manufacturer potentially also uses
operating data from vehicles for
product recalls. This data can also be
used to check customer warranty and
guarantee claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs or at
your request.
