WARNING
If the engine speed is above the idling speed
and you engage transmission position 7
or C, the vehicle could pull away sud-
denly. There is a risk of an accident.
When engaging transmission position 7 or
C, always firmly depress the brake pedal
and do not simultaneously accelerate.
Depress the accelerator carefully when pulling
away.
The vehicle locks centrally once you have pulled
away. The locking knobs in the doors drop down.
You can open the doors from the inside at any
time.
You can also deactivate the automatic locking
feature (Y page 240).
It is possible to shift the transmission from posi-
tion j to the desired position only if you
depress the brake pedal. Only then is the park-
ing lock released. If you do not depress the
brake pedal, the DIRECT SELECT lever can still
be moved but the parking lock remains
engaged.

Upshifts take place at higher engine speeds
after a cold start. This helps the catalytic con-
verter to reach its operating temperature
more quickly.

electric parking brake (Y page 158).
