Par) TD Introduction Depending on equipment fitted, itis possible to switch the ignition on/off and start/stop the engine with the key in the ignition or using the starter button. EI warning
= Never switch off the engine before the vehicle Is stationary risk of acci-
dent!
The ignition must always be switched during the journey when the engine is idling. Otherwise, the steering may lock - danger of an accident!
= Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has come toa stop page 140, Parking. Otherwise, the steering may lock -
anger of an accident!
= Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - there isa risk of theft etc!
= Never run the engine in an enclosed space (e.g. in garages) - there is the danger of poisoning and death!
(caution
= Only start the engine when the engine and the vehicle are stationary - there isa danger of starter and engine damage!
= Do not push-start the engine - there is a risk of damaging the engine and the catalytic converter! The battery from another vehicle can be used as a push-
start aid. Electronic immobiliser and steering lock CDi Read and observe [fl and [I on page 138 first. The electronic immobiliser (hereinafter referred to as immobiliser) makes it more difficult for someone to attempt to steal or use your vehicle without au-
eon Immobilizer The immobilizer allows the engine to be started only with the original car key. Malfunction of the immobilizer If the immoblliser in the key fails, its not possible to start the engine. A mes-
sage appears in the display of the instrument cluster to explain that the immo-
bilser is active. Tostart, use the other vehicle key or seek help from a specialist garage. Steering lock - lock
> On vehicles with ignition lock, remove the key and turn the steering wheel until the steering lock engages.
> On vehicles with a starter button, switch off the ignition and open the driv-
t's door. If the driver's door is opened and the ignition is switched off after-
wards, the steering is only locked automatically after the vehicle has been locked. Steering lock - unlock
> On vehicles with Ignition lock, insert the key into the ignition and turn on the Ignition. If this is not possible, move the steering wheel slightly back and forth and thereby unlock the steering lock.
> On vehicles with starter button, get into the car and close the driver's door. Under certain circumstances, the steering lock can be unlocked only when tthe ignition is switched on or the engine is started. Te eee gee ee |
ted, The system can recognize the valid key, even if ft has been accidentally Never let the vehicle roll wth locked steering lock - there is a risk of acci-

For vehicles with automatic transmission, the ignition key can only be removed ifthe selector lever isin position P . Do not switch the engine off immediately at the end of your journey after the engine has been running fora prolonged period at high loads. Leave it to run at an idling speed for about 1 minute. This prevents any possible accumulation of heat when the engine is switched off. Emergency shutdown of the engine in vehicles with starter button The system is equipped with a protective device against accidental switching off, the engine can only be shut off while driving in the event of an emergency.

Problems with the engine start - vehicles with starter button Fig. 173 Starting the engine - press the button with the key CEI Read and observe fl and fl on page 135 first. If no engine start is possible and the display of the instrument cluster shows a message that the key could not be detected by the system or there isa sys-
tem fault, then try to start the engine as follows. Press the starter button with the key Fig. 173. I the engine does not start, the help of a specialist garage is required. Bl caution The key may not be detected by the system if the battery in the key is running ka a!
It the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops or is at a standstil (eg. at the tratfic lights), it tums off the engine and starts it again when moving off. The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the river, while others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified. For this reason, the system may react differently in situations which seem Identical from the driver's perspective. The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
{even when it has previously been manually deactivated with the & button). Note If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains switched on. Vehicles with manual transmission The engine is automatically switched off as soon as the vehicle comes toa halt, the shift lever is moved into neutral and the clutch pedal is released. The engine is automatically started as soon as the clutch pedal is depressed. The START-STOPsystem (hereinafter referred to as the system) reduces
(COzemissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel. Vs wae ae The engine is automatically switched off as soon as the vehicle comes toa halt and the brake pedal is operated. The engine is automatically started as soon as the brake pedal is released. Conditions for the system function The following conditions must be met for the system to function correctly.
- Thedriver's door is closed, Thedriver has fastened the seat bet. The driving speed after the last stop was higher than 4 km/h. system status The system status is shown in the display when the vehicle comes to a halt Fig. 174, The engine is switched off automatically; when moving off, the ignition process willbe initiated automatically. The engine is not switched off automatically. When stopping, the engine will not switch off for the following reasons, among others.
> The engine temperature for the proper function of the system has not yet been reached.
> The charge state of the vehicle battery is too low.
> The current consumption is too high.
> High air conditioning or heating output (high blower speed, big difference between the desired and actual interior temperature). If the engine is shut down automatically and the system detects that the en-
4gine Is required, such as when the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly, then the system automatically starts the engine. More information about the current system status can be displayed in the info-
tainment screen in menu (Call/ @} > >> Vehicle status, If there is a system fault, the following message will appear in the display of the instrument cluster. Seek help from a specialist garage. Note
= Ifthe driver's seat belt is removed for more than approx. 30 seconds or the driver's door is opened during automatic stop mode, the engine will have to be started manually
= No automatic engine shut-down takes place when a vehicle with automatic transmission is moving at low speed (e.g. during a traffic jam) and remains sta~
tionary after pressing the brake pedal lightly. Automatic engine shut-down takes place if you press the brake pedal down with more force.
* For vehicles with automatic transmission there is no automatic engine shut-
down when the system detects a manoeuvring action due to a large steering angle
> To deactivate/activate, press the & button Fig. 175. When the system is deactivated, the: symbol lights up in the button, it the system is deactivated, it will be reactivated automatically after the ignl-
