WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch while driving or when the
car is being towed. The steering lock could
be activated which would mean that the car
cannot be steered.
Never remove the remote control key with
the Keyless drive* function from the car
while driving or during towing.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is so that the emissions
system can reach normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which min-
imises exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.
Keyless drive
Follow steps 2–3 for starting petrol and diesel
engines.
NOTE
One precondition for starting the car is that
one of the car's remote control keys with the
keyless drive* function is located inside the
passenger compartment or the cargo area.
