Warning!
Depress the brake pedal.
If you hear a warning signal when driv-
ing off, you have forgotten to release
the parking brake.

Move selector lever to position D or R.
It is dangerous to shift the gear selector le-
ver out of P or N if the engine speed is high-
er than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accel-
erate quickly forward or in reverse. You
could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear
when the engine is idling normally and when
your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
i
Release the parking brake.
Wait for the gear selection process to
complete before setting the vehicle in
motion.
After a cold start the automatic transmis-
sion engages at a higher revolution. This al-
lows the catalytic converter to reach its
operating temperature earlier.

Release the brake pedal.
Carefully depress the accelerator
pedal.
Warning!

More information on driving can be found
in the “Operation” section (୴ page 267).
Once the vehicle is in motion, the automat-
ic central locking system engages and the
locking knobs drop down.
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift
in order to obtain braking action. This could
result in drive wheel slip and reduced vehi-
cle control. Your vehicle’s ABS will not pre-
vent this type of loss of control.
!
Simultaneously depressing the acceler-
ator pedal and applying the brake re-
duces engine performance and causes
premature brake and drivetrain wear.

You can open a locked door from the
inside. Open door only when conditions
are safe to do so.
