Driving
WARNING! Leaving the vehicle with the engine running and a gear
engaged, for any reason whatsoever, can result in the vehicle moving
off without a driver. This may lead to dangerous situations resulting in
serious injury and can damage the vehicle.
– Never leave the vehicle when the engine is running and a gear is
engaged.
– Always set the gearbox selector switch to N (neutral) before leaving
the vehicle.
– Always apply the park brake before leaving the vehicle.
WARNING! When the engine is switched off, the gearbox
automatically shifts to neutral. If the service brake or park brake is not
engaged, the vehicle can roll away. This can lead to serious injury and
damage to the vehicle.
– Always apply the service brake or park brake when the engine is
switched off.
CAUTION: When a gear is engaged and the vehicle is at standstill, the
clutch is open. In this situation, the clutch assembly can be damaged
when stationary for long periods.
– When stationary for a long period, apply the park brake and set the
gearbox selector switch to N (neutral).
Vehicle with manual gearbox
Put the gear change lever in neutral when the vehicle is stationary.
Switch off the engine
After a long trip or when the engine
has been subjected to high loading
,
let the engine idle for at least 5 minutes
before switching off.
It is important to let the engine run for a
while. This prevents the coolant
temperature from rising too high and
allows the turbocharger to cool down.
Switch off the engine by turning the
ignition key to 0 (rest position).
Switching off the ignition activates the
delay setting of the EAS system
(Emission Aftertreatment System). This
may be audible outside of the vehicle (a
gurgling noise in the AdBlue tank
section).
