Starting and Turning off the Engine
Before Starting
Hot Engine
Important!
Do not depress accelerator. Turn key in
steering lock clockwise to the stop. 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.
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 ensure
selector lever is in position "P" or "N".
Turn key in steering lock to position 2.
The charge indicator lamp should come
on.
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 you do not see the
gauge register oil pressure, stop the
engine and have it checked.
Cold Engine
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.
Do not depress accelerator. Turn key
in steering lock clockwise to the
stop. Release key only when the
engine is firing regularly.
Turning Off
Turn the key in the steering lock to
position 0 to stop the engine.
The battery charge indicator lamp
should go out as soon as the engine has
started.
The key can only be removed with the
foot off the brake pedal and the selector
lever in position "P".
In areas where temperatures frequently
drop below -4°F (-20°C) we
recommend that an engine block heater
be installed. Your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer will advise you
on this subject.
