Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Before starting the engine
Apply the parking brake.
Note that if the car is equipped with an alcolock
then a breath test must first be approved
before the engine can be started, see
page 148.
Automatic gearbox
Move the gear selector in position
P
or
N
.
Manual gearbox
Put the gear lever in neutral and hold the clutch
pedal fully depressed. This is particularly
important in very cold conditions.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch while driving or when the
car is being towed. The steering lock could
otherwise be activated, making it impossi-
ble to steer the car.
The remote control key must be in key posi-
tion
II
when the car is being towed.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is in order that the emis-
sions system can reach normal operating
temperature as quickly as possible, which
minimises exhaust emissions and protects
the environment.
Starting the engine
Petrol
Turn the remote control key to key position
III
. If the engine does not start within
5–10 seconds, release the key and try
again.
Diesel
1.
Turn the remote control key to key position
II
.
> An indicator symbol in the combined
instrument panel shows that engine pre-
heating is underway, see page 55.

when
the indicator symbol goes out.
Autostart *
With the autostart function, there is no need to
hold the remote control key (or ignition dial on
cars with Keyless Drive, see page 128) in key
position
III
until the engine has started.
Turn the ignition key to the start position
III
and just release it - the starter motor
then works automatically until the engine
has started.
NOTE
If the diesel engine is started in extreme cold
without waiting for engine preheating, then
the automatic start sequence can be
delayed for a couple of seconds.
