Ignition switched off
All indicator lights on the info display go out.
Only the selector lever indicator of the auto-
matic transmission remains lit briefly.
Starting the engine
Never run the engine in enclosed spaces,
as inhaling the harmful exhaust gas can
lead to loss of consciousness with fatal conse-
quences. The exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide, which is colourless and odourless,
but highly toxic.
Do not leave the car unattended with the engine
running, as this constitutes a hazard.
Before leaving the car with the engine still run-
ning, engage selector lever position P and apply
the parking brake, otherwise the car could start
to move.<
Avoid starting, stopping and restarting
the engine in rapid succession or
repeated attempts to start the engine if it does
not fire, otherwise unburned or only partially
combusted fuel could reach the catalytic con-
verter, which could overheat and be damaged
as a result.<
