Starting and Stopping the Engine

f Please see the chapter "IMMOBILIZER" on
Page 249.
f Please see the chapter "EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM" on Page 265.
Danger!
Risk of poisoning. Exhaust gas contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide
(CO), which is toxic even in low concentra-
tion. Carbon monoxide can cause uncon-
sciousness and even death if inhaled.
f Never start or let the engine run in an en-
closed, unventilated area. It is not recommen-
ded to sit in your car for prolonged periods
with the engine on and the car not moving.
An unattended vehicle with a running engine
is potentially hazardous. If warning lights
should come on to indicate improper opera-
tion, they would go unnoticed.
f Never leave the engine idling unattended.
Danger of fire.
f Do not drive or park your car where combus-
tible materials, such as dry grass or leaves,
can come into contact with the hot exhaust
system.
f If your car catches on fire for any reason, call
the fire department. Do not endanger your life
by attempting to put out the fire.
Starting vehicle
f Operate footbrake.
f Fully depress and hold the clutch pedal. Put the
gearshift lever in neutral or on vehicles with
Tiptronic S:
move the Tiptronic selector lever to position P
or N.
f Do not press the accelerator pedal. The engine
control module will provide the correct starting
mixture.
f Turn ignition key to ignition lock position 2.
f Do not operate the starter longer than approx.
10 seconds. If necessary, repeat the starting
procedure after a pause of approx.
10 seconds. Turn the ignition key back to
ignition lock position 3 first.
Notes on operation
The first operation of the starter is ended auto-
matically when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, subsequent starter
operations will not be ended automatically.
When the engine ist started, the warning lights
must go out.
f Do not warm up the engine when stationary.
Drive off immediately.
Avoid high revolutions and full throttle until the
engine has reached operating temperature.
f If battery output is insufficient, jump leads can
be used to start the engine.
Please see the chapter "EMERGENCY
STARTING WITH JUMPER CABLES" on
Page 325.
Note on operation
To ensure a good charge condition for the battery
and thus its ability to start the engine, all electrical
accessories which are not required should be
switched off when the ignition is switched on and
when engine revolutions are low (in stop and go
traffic).
