CAUTION
If the engine has been running under high
l
oad for a l
ong time, there is a risk of heat
building up in the engine compartment af-
ter it has been switched off; this could
cause engine damage. For this reason, you
should idle the engine for approximately 2
minutes before you switch it off.
Note
●
After the engine is swit
ched off the radia-
tor fan may run on for up to 10 minutes,
even if the ignition is switched off. It is also
possible that the fan turns itself on once
more if the coolant temperature increases
due to the heat accumulated in the engine
compartment or due to its prolonged expo-

If the vehicle is stopped and the Start-
Stop system* switches off the engine, the
ignition remains switched on. Make sure
that the ignition is switched off before leav-
ing the vehicle, otherwise the battery could
