Tips
- After starting a cold engine, there may
be a brief period of increased noise be-
cause the oil pressure must first build up
in the hydraulic valve adjusters. This is
normal and not a cause for concern.
- If the .
indicator light blinks in the in-
strument cluster before switching the ig-
nition off, the ignition will not switch on
again
Qpage 189.
- If you leave your vehicle with the ignition
switched on, the ignition will switch off
after a certain amount of time. Make
sure that electrical equipment such as
the exterior lights are switched off.

A
WARNING
- Never turn off the engine before the ve-
hicle has come to a complete stop . The
full function of the brake booster and the
power steering is not guaranteed . You
must use more force to turn or brake, if
necessary. Because you cannot steer and
brake as you usually would, this could
lead to accidents and serious injuries.
- The brake booster and power steering
only work when the engine is running . If
the engine is off, you have to use more
force when steering or braking. Because
you cannot steer and brake as you usual-
ly would, this could lead to crashes and
serious injuries .
- Always take the vehicle key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even for a
short period of time . This applies partic-
ularly when children remain in the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the children could start
the engine or operate electrical equip-
ment such as power w indows.
- For safety reasons, you should always
park your vehicle with the selector lever
in P. Otherwise, the vehicle could inad-
vertently roll away.
-After the engine has been switched off,
the radiator fan can continue to run for
up to 10 minutes - even with the ignition
switched off. It can also switch on again
after some time if the coolant tempera-
ture rises as the result of a heat buildup
or if the engine is hot and the engine
compartment is additionally heated by
the sun's rays.
