Parking
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Please note legal regulations when stopping and parking your vehicle.
Parking the vehicle
Please perform these steps only in the order listed.
Stop the vehicle on a suitable surface ⇒ .
Hold the brake pedal down until the engine is switched off.
Apply the parking brake to help prevent the vehicle from moving ⇒ page 234, Parking brake.
For automatic transmissions: Shift the transmission into Park (P).
Switch off the engine and then take your foot off the brake.
Remove the vehicle key from the ignition.
If necessary, turn the steering wheel slightly to engage the steering column lock.
Make sure all passengers and especially children leave the vehicle.
Take all vehicle keys with you when leaving your vehicle.
Lock the vehicle.
On hills
Before stopping the engine, turn the steering wheel so that, if the vehicle starts to roll, its front wheels
will roll into the curb:
Facing downhill, turn the front wheels so that they point toward the curb.
Facing uphill, turn the front wheels so that they point away from the curb.
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system and the catalytic converter get very hot. They can cause fires and
serious personal injury.
Never park where the hot exhaust system could ignite flammable materials, such as
brush, leaves, dry grass, spilled fuel, etc.
NOTICE
Always be careful when you park in areas with parking barriers or high curbs. These vary in
height and could damage your bumper and related parts if the front of your vehicle hits a
barrier or curb that is too high while you are getting into or out of a parking spot. To help
prevent damage, stop before the tires of your vehicle touch a parking barrier or curb.
Always be careful when you enter a driveway or drive up or down steep ramps or over
curbs or other obstacles. Parts of the vehicle close to the ground may be damaged (such as
bumper covers, spoilers, and parts of the engine, suspension, and exhaust systems).
Always close the CSC roof before leaving the vehicle and when it may rain or snow. If the
CSC roof is open, rain or snow can damage the vehicle interior and can cause extensive
damage to the electrical system.
