Starting-off and Driving
Starting and stopping the engine
Introduction
Depending on equipment fitted, it is possible to switch the ignition on/off and
start/stop the engine with the key in the ignition or using the starter button.
WARNING
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
dent!
While driving with the engine stopped the ignition must always be
switched on. Otherwise, the steering may lock - danger of an accident!
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop » page 163, Parking. Otherwise, the steering may lock -
danger of an accident!
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - there is a
risk of theft etc!
Never (e.g. in garages) run the engine in a closed place - there is the dan-
ger of poisoning and death!
CAUTION
Only start the engine when the engine and the vehicle are stationary - there
is a danger of starter and engine damage!
Do not push-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine and the catalytic
converter. The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid.
On vehicles with the starter button, pay attention to where the key is loca-
ted. The system can recognize the valid key, even if it has been accidentally
left on the vehicle roof - there is danger of loss or damage to the key!
Note
Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start
your journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this, the engine rea-
ches its operating temperature faster.
Electronic immobiliser and steering lock
Read and observe and on page 159 first.
The electronic immobiliser (hereinafter referred to as immobiliser) makes the
theft or unauthorised use of your vehicle more difficult.
Immobiliser
The immobilizer allows the engine to be started only with the original car key.
Malfunction of the immobiliser
If the immobiliser in the key fails, it is not possible to start the engine. A corre-
sponding message appears in the display of the instrument cluster to explain
that the immobiliser is active.
To start, use the other vehicle key or seek help from a specialist garage.
Steering lock - lock
On vehicles with ignition lock, remove the key and turn the steering wheel
until the steering lock engages.
On vehicles with a starter button, switch off the ignition and open the driv-
er's door. If the driver's door is opened and the ignition is switched off after-
wards, the steering is only locked automatically after the vehicle has been
locked.
Steering lock - unlock
On vehicles with ignition lock, insert the key into the ignition and turn on the
ignition. If this is not possible, then move the steering wheel slightly back and
forth, as a result of which the steering lock should unlock.
On vehicles with starter button, get into the car and close the driver's door.
Under certain circumstances, the steering lock can be unlocked only when
the ignition is switched on or the engine is started.
WARNING
Never let the vehicle roll with locked steering lock - risk of accident!
