Stopping the engine when the vehicle
is moving
WARNING
Switching off the engine when the
vehicle is still moving will result in a
loss of brake and steering assistance.
The steering will not be locked, but higher
effort will be required. When the ignition is

See Keyless Starting (page 129).
Diesel particulate filter (DPF) WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high

will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after DPF regeneration, and
after you have switched the engine off.
This is a potential fire hazard. See Diesel Particulate Filter (page 130).
Fuel filler flap Press the flap to open it. Open the flap fully
