tect the engine. To protect the engine and
maintain smooth engine operation, avoid
driving at full throttle when the engine is
cold.

Hill start assist
Hill start assist helps you when pulling away
on uphill gradients. It holds the vehicle for a
short time after you have removed your foot
from the brake pedal. This gives you enough
time to move your foot from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal and depress it before
the vehicle begins to roll.
G
Risk of accident
Never leave the vehicle when it is held by hill
start assist. After approximately one second,
hill start assist will no longer brake your vehi-
cle and it could roll away.
X
Take your foot off the brake pedal.
i
Once you have taken your foot off the
brake pedal, the vehicle is held for around
one second.

G
Risk of accident
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. They might release the electric parking
brake. This could lead to aserious or fatal
accident.
G
Risk of fire
Make sure that the exhaust system does not
under any circumstances come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass or
petrol. Do not park the vehicle on dry grass-
land or harvested grain fields. The material
could otherwise ignite and set the vehicle on
fire.
To ensure that the vehicle is secured against
rolling away unintentionally:
R
the electric parking brake must be applied.
R
the transmission must be in P.
R
on steep uphill or downhill gradients, the
frontwheels must be turned towards the
kerb.
