Introduction
General information
Shiftlock
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To release the selector from this position, turn the
ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and
move the selector from (P)ark.
Keylock
When the ignition is switched off, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the
ignition switch.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system in your car performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel when the car is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door.
Fuel filler cap
After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the
engine is running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp ("Check Engine" light) may indicate a fault.
Points to keep in mind

Before you operate your vehicle for the first time, please familiarize yourself with the new-engine oil consumption
information on

. You should also be familiar with the information found in the chapters "Instruments and controls", and
"Starting and driving".
●
Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the
first time.
●
The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the vehicle for ready access.
