After the ignition has been switched off
(ignition key turned back to position 0
or removed), the radio functions will
remain available for approximately
20 minutes. Switch the radio back on
for these functions.
Automatic transmission cars: do
not move the selector lever away
from position P until the engine is
running (ignition key position 2).
Before the ignition key can be returned
to position 0 or pulled out, the auto-
matic transmission selector lever must
be moved to position P (interlock).
<
Steering released
A slight movement of the steering
wheel often makes it easier to turn the
key in the ignition from 0 to 1.
Individual electrical consumers can
then operate.
Before starting
>
Apply the handbrake
>
Move the gear lever to neutral (or
automatic transmission selector to P)
>
At low temperatures, depress the
clutch pedal.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space. The exhaust gas
contains carbon monoxide, which is
colourless and odourless, but highly
toxic. Inhaling exhaust gas constitutes a
severe health risk and can lead to loss
of consciousness with fatal conse-
quences.
Do not leave the car unattended with
the engine running, as it then consti-
tutes a considerable potential hazard.
