safe way and allow the engine to run at idling
speed for a few minutes in order to allow the
gearbox to cool down.
•
If the car overheats, the air conditioning may
be switched off temporarily.
•
Do not turn the engine off immediately you
stop after a hard drive.
It is normal for the engine's cooling fan to
operate for a time after the engine has been
switched off.
Driving with open tailgate/boot lid
When driving with the boot lid open, toxic
exhaust fumes can be sucked into the car
through the cargo area.
WARNING
Do not drive with the boot lid open. Toxic
exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.

Overload - starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the starter
battery (p. 380) to varying degrees. Avoid using
the key position
switched off. Instead use position
I
- which uses
less power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that load
the electrical system. Do not use functions which
use a lot of power when the engine is switched
off. Examples of such functions are:
•
ventilation fan
•
headlamps
•
windscreen wiper
•
audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low then the com-
bined instrument panel's information display
shows the text
Low battery charge Power
save mode
. The energy-saving function then
shuts down certain functions or reduces certain
functions such as the ventilation fan and/or
audio system.
–
In which case, charge the starter battery by
starting the engine and then running it for at
least 15 minutes - starter battery charging is
more effective during driving than running
the engine at idling speed while stationary.
