Starting and Turning off the Engine
Before Starting
Turning Off
Important!
Turn the key in the steering lock to
position 0 to stop the engine.
Due to the installed starter non-repeat
feature, the key must be turned
completely to the left before attempting
to start the engine again.
Engage parking brake and move
gearshift lever to neutral (selector lever
position "P" on automatic
transmissions).
The key can only be removed with the
selector lever in position "P".
Observe the oil pressure gauge
immediately after starting the engine.
In a very cold engine the oil pressure
will rise slowly after the engine has
started. Do not speed up the engine
before pressure is registered on the
pressure gauge.
If the coolant temperature is very high
(e.g. after hard driving on mountain
roads), do not shut off the engine
immediately, but allow it to run for 1-2
minutes at increased idle speed with
selector lever in position "P" or "N".
Cold Engine
Turn key in steering lock clockwise to
the stop. Do not depress accelerator.
Release key only when the engine is
firing regularly.
The charge indicator lamp should go
out as soon as the engine has started.
Hot Engine
Turn key in steering lock clockwise to
the stop. Do not depress accelerator. If
the engine has not fired after approx. 4
seconds, depress accelerator and
continue cranking until the engine is
firing regularly. Release key and back
off accelerator.
In areas where temperatures frequently
drop below -25°C (-13°F) we
recommend that an engine block heater
be installed. Your authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer will advise
you on this subject.
At very high coolant temperatures the
engine starting time can be shortened if
the accelerator is depressed slowly at the
beginning of the starting process.
