Luggage compartment
lid
General information
— After closing the luggage compartment lid,
make sure that it is latched. The luggage
compartment lid could open suddenly while
driving, which would increase the risk of an
accident.
— Never drive with the luggage compartment
lid ajar or open, because poisonous gases
from the surrounding area can enter the ve-
hicle interior and increase the risk of asphyx-
iation.
— If there is a luggage rack (such as a bicycle
rack) on the luggage compartment lid, the
luggage compartment lid may not open
completely under certain circumstances or it
could close by itself if open due to the extra
weight. Therefore, the open luggage com-
partment lid must be given additional sup-
port or the cargo must first be removed
from the luggage rack.
— Applies to vehicles with power-operated or
sensor-controlled luggage compartment lid:
Pay careful attention when closing the lug-
gage compartment lid. Otherwise, you could
cause serious injury to yourself or others de-
spite the pinch protection.

— Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm sys-
tem: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer open from the inside

cult for emergency workers to enter the ve-
hicle, which puts lives at risk.
— Always close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid and the doors when the vehicle is
not in use. Otherwise someone such as a
child could enter the vehicle through the
luggage compartment and become locked
inside it. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or around the vehi-
cle.
— To reduce the risk of injuries by pinching,
make sure that no one is in the operating
area of the luggage compartment lid, in-
cluding the hinge areas and the upper and
lower edge of the luggage compartment lid.

pyre d | ola eda)
Fig. 79 Center console: switching on the drive system
Your vehicle is powered by electricity. Similar to a
vehicle with a combustion engine, the ignition
and drive system can be switched on separately.
When only the ignition is switched on, electronic
systems such as the MMI are available. However,
the vehicle is not ready to drive. Electric power is
able to move the vehicle once the drive system is
switched on and becomes active.
Requirement: the key must be in the vehicle.
Switching the drive system on
> Press and hold the brake pedal.
> Press the [START STOP] button. The drive sys-
tem switches on.
It is indicated in the power meter whether the
drive system is switched on > page 13.
Switching the drive system off
> Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
> Press the [START STOP] button. The drive sys-
tem switches off.
The steering is locked when you switch off the
drive
system in “P” and open the driver's door.
The steering lock helps prevent vehicle theft.
Switching the drive system off in an
emergency
If necessary in an emergency, the drive system
can also be switched off while driving using the
emergency off function*.
90
> Press the [START STOP] button twice in a row or
press and hold it one time.
Switching on and off
If you would like to switch the ignition on or off
without switching on the drive system, follow
these steps:
> Press the [START STOP] button without pressing
the brake pedal.
Switching the ignition off automatically
To prevent the vehicle battery from draining, the
ignition and possibly the exterior lighting may
switch off automatically.
Requirements:
— You must have driven the vehicle.
— You must have left the vehicle for longer than
30 seconds.
— The ignition must be switched on.
Among other indicators, the system detects that
you have left the vehicle based on the following
factors:
— The driver's door has been opened.
— The driver's safety belt has been unbuckled.
— The brake pedal is not being pressed.
— The driver's seat is not occupied.
The ignition will also be switched off after 30 mi-
nutes or if you lock the vehicle from the outside.
ZA WARNING
— Never switch off the drive system before the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Switching it off before the vehicle has stop-
ped may impair the function of the brake
booster and power steering. You would then
need to use more force to steer and brake
the vehicle. The fact that you cannot steer
and brake as usual may increase the risk of
accidents and serious injuries.
— Secure the vehicle against rolling before ex-
iting the vehicle > page 91. >

hicle will not be set into motion by the drive sys-
tem.
Securing the vehicle against rolling
Secure your vehicle to prevent it from rolling be-
fore exiting the vehicle.
>» Set the parking brake.
> Select the “P” selector lever position.
> If parking on a steep road, turn the steering
wheel so that your vehicle will roll against the
curb in case it should start to move.
If one of these measures is not possible, for ex-
ample because there is no vehicle power, you
must secure your vehicle against rolling using ad-
ditional measures.
> Only park the vehicle on a level surface.
> Use suitable objects to block the front and rear
wheels.
Set the parking brake before selecting the “P” se-
lector lever position. This prevents too much
stress from being placed on the locking mecha-
nism when parking on a steep surface.
ZA WARNING
— Always set the parking brake when leaving
your vehicle, even if for a short period of
time. If the parking brake is not set, the ve-
hicle could roll away, increasing the risk of
an accident.
— Do not leave your vehicle unattended while
the drive system is active, because this in-
creases the risk of an accident. >
