Preparing the vehicle

Park the vehicle as far as possible from
moving traffic on a hard surface.
Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
Turn the steering wheel so that the
front wheels are in a straight ahead po-
sition.
Set the parking brake.
Move the gear selector lever to P.
Vehicles with SmartKey :
Turn off the engine ( page 53).

switch.
Practical hints
Vehicles with SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO*:
Turn off the engine by pressing the
KEYLESS-GO* button on the gear se-
lector lever once ( page 54).
Open the driver's door (this puts the

can be closed again.

Open door only when conditions are
safe to do so.
