The engine runs at a higher engine speed
during a cold start so that the catalytic

more quickly. The sound of the engine may
change as a result.

WARNING
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
If the engine speed is above the engine
idling speed and you then engage trans-
mission position D or R, the vehicle may
accelerate suddenly. There is a risk of an
accident.
When engaging transmission position D or
R, always keep the brake pedal firmly
depressed and do not depress the acceler-
ator pedal at the same time.
!
Vehicles with manual transmission:
change gear in good time and avoid spin-
ning the wheels. You could otherwise dam-
age the vehicle.
!
Release the parking brake before driving
off. The parking brake can otherwise over-
heat, malfunction and wear out quickly.
Accelerate gently when pulling away.
The vehicle locks centrally once you have
pulled away.
You can open the doors from the inside at any
time.
You can also deactivate the automatic locking
feature (
Y page 60).
Vehicles with automatic transmission: you
can only shift the transmission from position
P to the desired transmission position if:
R
the ignition is switched on
R
you depress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed and
R
you press release button on the selector
lever (

Only then is the shift lock released.
i
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
transmission shifts take place at higher
engine speeds after a cold start. This helps
the catalytic converter to reach its oper-
ating temperature more quickly.
Hill start assist
Hill start assist helps you when pulling away
forwards or in reverse on an uphill gradient.
It holds the vehicle for a short time after you
have removed your foot from the brake pedal.
This gives you enough time to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal
and depress it before the vehicle begins to
roll.
G
WARNING
After a while, hill start assist no longer
holds the vehicle and it may roll away.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
Therefore, quickly move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Never
leave the vehicle when it is held by hill
start assist.
