Starting and Stopping the Engine

Switching off the engine
NOTICE
An unattended vehicle with a running engine is po-
tentially hazardous. If warning lights come on to in-
dicate improper operation, no one would be present
to observe the light and turn off the engine.
e Never leave the engine idling unattended.
Inactive power steering
WARNING
and brake booster
The steering assistance and brake booster are only
operative when the engine is running. Consequently,
much greater force needs to be applied for steering
and braking when the engine is stopped.
e Only switch off the ignition once the vehicle has
come to a standstill.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Turn the operating device back to ignition lock
position 0.
e When leaving the vehicle, apply the electric
parking brake and, in the case of vehicles with
PDK, press button P or, in the case of vehicles
with manual transmission, engage 1st gear or
reverse.
