Getting started

Driving

왘

Carefully depress the accelerator
pedal.

Once the vehicle is in motion, the automat-
ic central locking system engages and the
locking knobs drop down.

After a cold start, the transmission engag-
es at a higher revolution. This allows the
catalytic converter to reach its operating
temperature earlier.

Warning!

On slippery road surfaces, never downshift

in order to obtain braking action. This could

result in drive wheel slip and reduced vehi-

cle control. Your vehicle’s ABS will not pre-

vent this type of loss of control.

In order to avoid damage to the transmis-

sion:

앫

Wait for the gear selection process to com-
plete before setting the vehicle in motion.

앫

Place the gear selector lever in position D
or R only when the vehicle is stopped.

If you hear a warning signal and the mes-

sage

Release parking brake

appears in the

multifunction display when driving off, you have
forgotten to release the parking brake.

Release the parking brake.

Do not run cold engine at high engine speed.

Running a cold engine at high engine speed may
shorten the service life of the engine.

Simultaneously depressing the accelerator

pedal and applying the brake reduces engine
performance and causes premature brake and
drivetrain wear.

You can open a locked door from the inside.

Open door only when conditions are safe to do
so.

You can deactivate the automatic locking using
the control system (
