Do not tow-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine! On vehicles with a
catalytic converter, unburnt fuel may get into the catalytic converter where it may
ignite. This in turn may damage the catalytic converter. The battery from another
vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid

■
Do not switch the engine off immediately at the end of your journey after the
engine has been operated over a prolonged period at high loads but leave it to
run at an idling speed for about 1 minute. This prevents any possible accumulation
of heat when the engine is switched off.
For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start your
journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this the engine reaches its
operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emissions are lower.
Note
■
The engine can only be started with the correctly coded original key.
■
The engine running noises may louder at first be louder for a short time after
starting the cold engine. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.
■
After switching off the ignition, the radiator fan can intermittently continue to
operate for approx. 10 minutes.
■
If the engine does not start up after a second attempt, the fuse for the fuel
pump may have a fault. Check the fuse and replace if necessary

We recommend
locking the steering wheel
whenever leaving the vehicle. This
acts as a deterrent against the attempted theft of your car.

Electrohydraulic power steering
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 93.
The power steering enables you to steer the vehicle with less physical force.
It is still possible to fully steer the vehicle if the power steering fails or if the en-
gine is not running (vehicle being towed in). However, greater physical effort is
required to turn the steering wheel.
If there is a fault in the power steering, the warning light then lights up in the in-
strument cluster
