Manual gearbox: Operate clutch
Automatic transmission : Operate
brake and move the selector lever
to P or N
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Turn the key briefly to position 3 and
release : An automatic procedure
operates the starter with a short
delay as long as the engine is
running, see Automatic Starter
Control.
Before restarting or to switch off the

Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down
to -25 °C for diesel engines and
-30 °C for petrol engines.
Diesel engines The start of the
engine without additional heaters is
possible down to -25 °C.
Petrol engines The start of the
engine without additional heaters is
possible down to -30 °C.
Required is an engine oil with the
correct viscosity, the correct fuel,
performed services and a
sufficiently charged vehicle battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C, the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx.
5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in
position P.
Automatic starter control
This function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not need to hold the key in
position 3.
Once applied, the system will go on
starting automatically until the
engine is running. Because of the
checking procedure, the engine
starts running after a short delay.
Possible reasons for a non-starting
engine:
.
clutch pedal not operated
(manual gearbox)
. time out occurred
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically
cut-off during overrun, i.e. when the
vehicle is driven with a gear
engaged but accelerator is released.

.A discharged battery can
already freeze at temperatures
of 0 °C.
Defrost the frozen battery before
connecting jump leads.
. Wear eye protection and
protective clothing when
handling a battery.
. Use a booster battery with the
same voltage (12 volts). Its
capacity (Ah) must not be much
less than that of the discharged
battery.
. Use jump leads with insulated
terminals and a cross section of
at least 16 mm² (25 mm² for
diesel).
. Do not disconnect the
discharged battery from the
vehicle.
. Switch off all unnecessary
electrical consumers.
. Do not lean over the battery
during jump starting.
. Do not allow the terminals of one
lead to touch those of the
other lead. .
The vehicles must not come into
contact with each other during
the jump starting process.
. Apply the parking brake, manual
gearbox in neutral, automatic
transmission in P.
. Open the positive terminal
protection caps of both vehicle

battery. 2. Connect the other end of the
red lead to the positive terminal
of the discharged battery.
3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle
grounding point, such as the
engine block or an engine
mounting bolt. Connect as far
away from the discharged
battery as possible, however at
least 60 cm(24 inches).
Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.

Vehicle Care 195
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust
fumes from the towing vehicle,
switch on the air recirculation and
close the windows.
The vehicle must be towed facing
forward, not faster than 55 mph. In
all other cases and when the
transmission is defective, the front
axle must be raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the
towing eye.
Insert cap and close cap.
Appearance Care
Exterior Care
Locks
The locks are lubricated at the
factory using a high quality lock
cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent
only when absolutely necessary, as
this has a degreasing effect and
impairs lock function. After using
de-icing agent, have the locks
re-greased by a workshop.
Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental
influences. Wash and wax your
vehicle regularly. When using
automatic vehicle washes, select a
programme that includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be
cleaned off immediately, as they
contain aggressive constituents
which can cause paint damage.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's
instructions. The windscreen wipers and rear window wiper must be
switched off. Lock the vehicle so
that the fuel filler flap cannot be
opened. Remove antenna and
external accessories such as roof
racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with
a pH value of 4 to 9.
Do not use cleaning agents on
hot surfaces.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
Do not clean the engine
compartment with a steam-jet or
high-pressure jet cleaner.
