To activate the anti-theft locking
system, press button p twice or
touch the sensor in a front door
handle twice.
■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily

could ignite the surface.
■ On vehicles with manual transmission automated, control
indicator R flashes for a few
seconds after the ignition is
switched off if the parking brake has
not been applied 3 101.
■ Close windows.■ The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switchedoff 3 153.
■ After running at high engine speeds
or with high engine loads, operate the engine briefly at a low load or
run in neutral for approx.
30 seconds before switching off, in
order to protect the turbocharger.

22In briefActive head restraints on
front seats
In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints tilt forwards
slightly. The head is more effectively
supported by the head restraint and
the risk of whiplash injury is reduced.
Active head restraints can be
recognised by the word ACTIVE.
Head restraints 3 43.

moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault
If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:
■ Range exceeded,
■ Battery voltage too low,
■ Frequent, repeated operation of the
radio remote control while not in
range, which will require re-
synchronisation,
■ Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequent
intervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time,
■ Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
Unlocking 3 30.

Driving and operating127
To repeat the starting procedure or to
switch off the engine, press the button again.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C the
automatic transmission and the
manual transmission automated
need a warming phase of approx. 5
minutes. The selector lever must be
in position P respectively N.
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.Parking
■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily
ignitable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system
could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply parking brake without
pressing release button. Apply as
firmly as possible on downhill or
uphill slopes. Depress the foot
brake at same time to reduce
operating force.
■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock engages.
■ 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 theselector lever to P before switchingoff the ignition. Turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
■ Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft locking system and the
anti-theft alarm system.
