Note
After the engine is stopped, the radiator fan
may remain on or turn itself back on for up to
10 minutes, even if the ignition is switched
off. This may occur for the following reasons:
- Residual heat has raised the coolant
tem­

perature.
- Direct sunlight has additionally heated up
the engine compartment while the engine is

warm.

- Applies to vehicles with diesel particulate
filter: The emission control system is hot
because of the regeneration process, even
though the engine has
not
yet reached oper­
ating temperature.

® For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine by running it with
the car stationary. You should drive off imme­

unnecessary exhaust emissions.
© Note
- Any noises which may be heard when the
engine is started are quite normal and no
cause for concern.
- If

The steering will be locked if
you
switch off the
engine with the ISTART ENGINE STOP| button,
move the selector lever to position P (on vehicles
with automatic gearbox*) and open the driver's
door. The steering lock acts as a theft deterrent.
Emergency Off function
If necessary in an emergency, the engine can be
switched off while the vehicle is still moving at
speeds of 7 km/h and above. To switch off the
engine, press the ISTART ENGINE STOP| button
twice in quick succession or hold it in for longer
than two seconds.
A WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and pow­
er steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor­
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal
man­

ner.
- Always take the key with you when you Leave
the vehicle. Otherwise the engine can be
started or power-operated equipment such
as the electric windows can be used. This
could result in serious injury.
- When parking, always move the selector
lever to position
P
to prevent the vehicle
from rolling back accidentally.
If the engine has been working hard for
a
long

time,
there is a risk of heat building up in the
engine compartment after the engine has
been switched off; this could cause engine
damage. For this reason, you should leave the

Note

After the engine is stopped, the radiator fan
may remain on or turn itself back on for up to
10 minutes, even if the ignition is switched
off. This may occur for the following reasons:
- Residual heat has raised the coolant
tem­

perature.
- Direct sunlight has additionally heated up
the engine compartment while the engine is

warm.

- Applies to vehicles with diesel particulate
filter: The emission control system is hot
because of the regeneration process, even
though the engine has
not
yet reached oper­
ating temperature.
