Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
fan may run on for up to 10 minut es, e
ven if
the ignition is switched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation. Electronic immobilizer

thorised persons fr
om driving the v
ehicle

the electronic immobiliser automatically
when the key is inserted into the ignition.
The electronic immobiliser will be activated
again automatically as soon as you pull the
key out of the ignition lock. For vehicles with
the “Keyless Access” system, the key has to
be outside the vehicle.
If the following message is shown on the in-
strument panel display: SAFE or Immobilis-
er active , it is not possible to start the vehi-
cle.
