uphill slopes. Depress the footbrake
at the same time to reduce operating

uphill slope, engage first gear
before switching off the ignition.
On an uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb. If the
vehicle is on a downhill slope,
engage reverse gear before switch-
ing off the ignition. Turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
Close windows.
Initial Drive Information

or with high engine loads, operate
the diesel engine briefly at a low
load or run in neutral for about one
to two minutes at idle speed before
switching off in order to protect the
turbocharger.
Lock the vehicle.
See Keys on page 15.

The engine cooling fan may
continue to run after the engine is
shut down.
