Operating readiness off
Press the Start/Stop button again, and do not
press on the brake pedal at the same time.
All indicator lights in the instrument cluster go
out.
To save battery power when the engine is off,
reel off operating readiness and any unneces‐
sary electronic systems/power consumers.
Operating readiness is switched off automati‐
cally in the following situations while the vehi‐
cle is stationary and the engine is off:
▷ When locking the vehicle, and when the
low beams are activated.
▷ Shortly before the battery is discharged
completely, so that drive readiness is
maintained. This function is only available
when the low beams are turned off.
▷ When opening or closing the driver door, if
the driver's safety belt is unbuckled and
the low beams are turned off.
▷ While the driver's safety belt is unbuckled
with driver's door open and low beams off.
The low beams reel to parking lights after ap‐
prox. 15 minutes of no use.
Selector lever position P is automatically en‐
gaged when operating readiness is switched
off. In order for the vehicle to be able to roll,
e.g. into a car wash, heed the information re‐
garding washing in automatic car washes, refer

gaged when drive readiness is switched off. In
order for the vehicle to be able to roll, e.g. into
a car wash, heed the information regarding
