spite having selected a gear range
When the vehicle does not move in the re-
quired direction, the system may not have the
gear range correctly engaged. Press the
brake pedal and engage the gear range
again. If the vehicle still does not move in the
required direction, there is a system malfunc-
tion. Seek specialist assistance and have the
system checked.
CAUTION

●
heating for the first time, the vehicle must
be parked safely or must be driven at a
speed of more than 20 km/h (12 mph).
When the warning lamp lights up and the
●
audible warning is heard, the vehicle must
be parked safely and the engine switched
off. Let the gearbox cool down.
To prevent damage to the gearbox, driv-
●
ing must only be continued when the warn-
ing lamps are no longer lit up. While the
gearbox is overheated, starting up and
driving, even at a slow speed should be
avoided.

Information relating to different ve-
hicle processes.
Electro-mechanical power steering assists
the driver when steering.
Electro-mechanical power steering adapts
electronically to the speed of the car, torque
and turning angle.
If the power steering should fail at any time or
the engine is switched off (for instance when
being towed), the car can still be steered, as
long as the key remains in the ignition. How-
ever, more effort than normal will be required
to turn the steering wheel.
Steering column mechanical lock
To prevent theft, we recommend you lock the
steering before leaving the vehicle.
