• If you lock the car using the ignition key and with the driver' s door open, get into the
car and shut the door, all doors are locked.
They cannot be opened from the inside or
from the outs ide. As soon as the ignition is swit ched on, the door s are unlocked .

Releasing tank flap manually, see Page 82.
Attention • When the vehicle is locked from outside, no-one should remain in the vehicle -especially not children -because the doors can no longer be opened from the inside. This applies particularly where the vehicle has electric windows, because then the windows cannot be opened either see page 10. • If the locking knob in the driver's door is pushed down, all the other doors are automatically locked as well. • Locking the doors can prevent them from bursting open in an extraordinary accident situation. Locked doors also prevent persons entering the vehicle forcibly e.g. at traffic lights. However, in an emergency, they make it more difficult for outside help to open the doors.

Starting the engine
General hints
Attention When starting the engine in confined spaces there is a danger of poisoning.
• Before starting, move gear lever to neu·
tral (with automatic gearbox: Selector lever in "P" or"N" position) and apply handbrake fi rmly
•
On vehicles with a manual gearbox de
press the clutch pedal when operating
starter
so that starter only has to turn en
gine .
• As soon
as engine starts, release the
ignition key so that starter can dise ngage .
• After starting a co
ld engine It may sound
noisy for a moment or two because the 011 pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for
alarm .
~Do not warm engine up by run~ning it with vehicle stationary. Drive off straight away.
Do not overrev or use full throttle until the
engine has reached the normal operating
temperature .
• On vehicles with a catalytic converter the engine must not be started by towing the vehicle in ex· cess of 50 m. Otherwise unburnt fuel can pass into the converter and lead to damage.
• Before trying to start engine by towing, the battery from another ve· hicle should be used for starting if possible -see page 128.
Petrol engines
These engines are equipped with a petrol in
jection system that automat ically supp lies
the correct fuel/air mixture at all ambient
temperatures.
When engine
is cold or at operating temperature do not accelerate before or
during the starting procedure.
I f the engin e does not start at once, stop
us ing th e starter after 10 secs. wait about
half a m in ute and then try again.
If the engine sti
ll does not start, the electric
fuel pump fuse may have blown -see page
119 .
When the engine
is very hot it may be
neces sary to accelerate slightl y after the
engine has start
ed.

lamp comes on. It goes out when the igni
t ion tempera ture is reached (see page 47) While the glow plugs are working do not switch on any other heavy current consumers because this would place an unnecessary load on the battery.

Starting a cold engine
Ambient temperature above +5 0C:
The engine can be started without pre
glow Do not depress throttle during the
starting procedure.
Ambient temperature below +5 0C:
• Turn the key in the ignition lock to posi
tion 2 (see page 35) -the glow plug warning
lamp comes on It goes out when the igni
tion temperature is reached (see page 47). While the glow plugs are working do not switch on any other heavy current consumers because this would place an unnecessary load on the battery.
• When the warning lamp goes out, start
the engine immediately
If the engine does not start, repeat
preglow and try starting it again as described. If the
engine still does not start the fuse for the glow plugs may have blown -see page 120.
Starting a warm engine
The glow plug lamp does not come on -the
engine can be started straight away
When engine has been running fast for a long time, let it idle for about 2 minutes so that it can cool down slightly before being switched off.
Attention After the engine has been stopped the fan can continue running for a while (up to about 10 minutes) with the ignition switched off. It can also start to run again suddenly after a short time if -the coolant temperature increases due to heat build-up
-when engine is hot and the engine compartment is heated additionally by strong sunlight.
Special care must therefore be taken when working in the engine compartment.
On vehicles with a catalytic converter, the ignition must not be switched off as long as the vehicle is rolling with a gear engaged, otherwise, unburnt fuel can pass into the catalytic converter and cause damage.
