18In briefParking■ Always apply the parking brake without pressing the release button.Apply as firmly as possible on a
downhill slope or uphill slope.
Depress the foot brake at the same
time to reduce operating force.
■ Switch off the engine. Turn the ignition key to position 0 and
remove it. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering wheel lock is felt
to engage.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, the key can only be
removed when the selector lever is in the P position.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or
uphill slope, engage first gear or set the selector lever to P before
switching off the ignition. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear or set the
selector lever to P before switching
off the ignition. Turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.■ Lock the vehicle with button p on
the radio remote control.
■ Activate the anti-theft alarm system
3 25.

■ The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switched
off 3 146.
■ After running at high engine speeds
or with high engine loads, operate the engine briefly at a low load or

compartment or bonnet open, or system fault.
After the first 10 seconds of anti-theft
alarm system activation:
LED flashes

Seek the assistance of a workshop in
the event of faults.
Alarm
When triggered, the alarm gives off
an acoustic signal (horn) and a visual signal (hazard warning flashers). The
number and duration of which are
stipulated by legislation.
The alarm siren can be silenced by
pressing any button of the radio
remote control or by switching on the
ignition. The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated at the same time.
If the vehicle's battery is to be
disconnected (e.g. for maintenance
work), the alarm siren must be
deactivated as follows: switch the
ignition on then off, then disconnect
the vehicle's battery within
15 seconds.
Immobiliser
The system checks whether the
vehicle is allowed to start with the key being used. If the transponder in the
key is recognised, the engine can be
started.The immobiliser activates itself
automatically after the key has been removed from the ignition switch.
If control indicator A flashes when
the ignition is on, there is a fault in the
system; the engine cannot be started. Switch off the ignition and then repeat
the start attempt.
If control indicator A continues
flashing, attempt to start the engine
using the spare key and seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If control indicator A illuminates after
the engine has started, there is a fault in the engine electronics or
transmission electronics 3 81,
3 122, 3 127, or there is water in the
diesel fuel filter 3 90.
Notice
The immobiliser does not lock the doors. You should always lock the
vehicle after leaving it and switch on the anti-theft alarm system 3 21,
3 25.
