Switching off the engine
On vehicles with R tronic, the engine can be switched off in
neutral (N) or in any gear (1 - 6 or R).
Turn the ignition key to position page 81, fig. 72.
WARNING
Never switch off the engine until the vehicle is stationary.
The brake servo and the power steering system work only
when the engine is running. You need more strength to steer and
brake the vehicle when the engine is switched off. This would
mean a greater risk of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal manner.
Caution
If the engine has been working hard for a long time, there is a risk
of heat building up in the engine compartment after the engine has
been switched off; this could cause engine damage. For this reason,
you should leave the engine idling for a few minutes or drive at a
moderate speed to let the engine cool down before switching it off
page 139.
Because the engine can get very hot after working hard, do not
park the vehicle on surfaces which could catch fire (e.g. on grass or
at the forest edge).
Note
After the engine is stopped the radiator fan may run on for up to
10 minutes, even if the ignition is switched off. The fan may also
start running again after some time if the coolant temperature rises
due to a build-up of heat, or if the engine is hot and the engine
compartment is heated up further by direct sunlight.
Handbrake
Handbrake
The handbrake should be applied firmly to prevent the
vehicle from accidentally rolling away.
Applying the handbrake
Pull the handbrake lever up all the way.
Releasing the handbrake
Pull the lever up slightly and at the same time press in the
release button fig. 73 -arrow-.
Keep the release button pressed and push the lever all
the way down .
The handbrake warning lamp lights up when the handbrake is
applied with the ignition on.
