Advice when parking:
z Do not park the vehicle on an easy
flammable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system could
ignite the surface.
z Always apply the hand brake firmly.
Apply the hand brake as firmly as
possible on uphill or downhill slopes. To
reduce operating forces, depress foot
brake at the same time.
z Close the windows and sun roof 3 or
TwinTop.
z For manual transmission, select first or
reverse; for automatic transmission 3
move selector lever to P , for
Easytronic 3 select first or reverse before
switching off the ignition (note gear
display, see pages 178, 186, 193).
z On vehicles with automatic
transmission 3 the key can only be
withdrawn when the selector lever is in
position P. On the Open&Start system 3,
"P" flashes in the gear display for a few
seconds if P is not engaged or the
handbrake is not applied.
In Brief
z On vehicles with Easytronic 3 control
indicator R flashes for a few seconds
after the ignition is switched off if the
hand brake has not been applied
– page 184.
z With the Open&Start system 3 the
engine can only be switched off when the
car is stationary.
z Turn steering wheel until the steering
lock perceptibly engages (theft
protection) after first withdrawing the
ignition key; for Open&Start-System 3
switch off ignition and open driver's
door.
z The engine cooling fans may run after
the engine has been switched off
