164 Driving and operating

Do not operate the accelerator pedal.

Diesel engine: turn the key to position

2 for preheating until control

indicator ! extinguishes.

Turn the key briefly to position 3 and

release: an automatic procedure

operates the starter with a short delay

as long as the engine is running, see

Automatic Starter Control.

Before restarting or to switch off the

engine, turn the key back to position

0.

During an Autostop, the engine can

be started by depressing the clutch

pedal.

Starting the vehicle at low

temperatures

The start of the engine without

additional heaters is possible down to

-25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C

for petrol engines. Required is an

engine oil with the correct viscosity,

the correct fuel, performed services

and a sufficiently charged battery.

With temperatures below -30 °C the

automatic transmission need a

warming phase of approx. 5 minutes.

The selector lever must be in position

P.

Automatic Starter Control

This function controls the engine

starting procedure. The driver does

not have to hold the key in position 3.

Once applied, the system will go on

starting automatically until the engine

is running. Because of the checking

procedure, the engine starts running

after a short delay.

Possible reasons for a non-starting

engine:

■ Clutch pedal not operated (manual

transmission)

■ Brake pedal not operated or

selector lever not in P or N

(automatic transmission)

■ Timeout occurred

Turbo engine warm-up

Upon start-up, engine available

torque may be limited for a short time,

especially when the engine

temperature is cold. The limitation is

to allow the lubrication system to fully

protect the engine.

Overrun cut-off

The fuel supply is automatically cut off

during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle

is driven with a gear engaged but

accelerator is released.
