Stopping the engine

̈ Apply handbrake (୴ page 191).
̈ Move selector lever to P.
̈ Turn key to position 0 (୴ page 111)

in the ignition lock and remove it.

The immobilizer is activated.

̈ Secure the vehicle at the front axle if

unloaded and at the rear axle if load-
ed, e.g. using a chock (

୴ page 521).

Warning

G

The wheels on the rear axle could lock if
the handbrake lever is applied too abrupt-
ly. The vehicle could then start to skid.

Make sure that you apply the handbrake
lever carefully to ensure that braking ap-
plication is moderated.

!

CAUTION

If the coolant temperature is raised,
e.g. following driving in mountainous
terrain, run the engine at idling speed
for a further 1 or 2 minutes before
you switch off the engine. This allows
the coolant temperature to return to
normal again.

i

When parking on steep uphill or
downhill gradients, turn the front
wheels towards the curb.

i

You can only remove the key from
the ignition lock when the selector le-
ver is in position P.
