a risk of fire.
Carry out regular checks to make sure that
there are no flammable foreign materials in
the engine compartment or in the exhaust
system.
During a cold start, the engine runs at higher
speeds to enable the catalytic converter to
reach its operating temperature. The sound of
the engine may change during this time.

General notes
G
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.
!
Change gear in good time and avoid spin-
ning the wheels. You could otherwise dam-
age the vehicle.
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 178).
It is only possible to shift the transmission
from position j to the desired position if you
depress the brake pedal. Only then is the shift
lock released.
i
Upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds after a cold start. This helps the cat-
alytic converter to reach its operating tem-
perature more quickly.
Information on the automatic release of the
electric parking brake (Y page 136).
Hill start assist
Hill start assist helps you when pulling away
forward or in reverse on an uphill gradient. It
holds the vehicle for a short time after you
have removed your foot from the brake pedal.
This gives you enough time to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal
and to depress it before the vehicle begins to
roll.
