Switching the Ignition On and Off
Some vehicle functions are already activated when the driver approaches the vehicle with the vehicle value.
Switching on the ignition
On the right of the steering column: starter button
Press the starter button once. The starter button is located on the right of the steering column.
Or: depress the brake pedal.
Switching off the ignition
Press the starter button once when the vehicle is stationary.
Or: leave the vehicle when the vehicle is stationary and the electronic parking brake is switched on.
Automatic ignition switch-off
If the ignition is switched on and the driver moves away from the vehicle carrying the vehicle value, the ignition switches off automatically after a short time. If the bonnet is opened when the ignition is switched on, the ignition will not be switched off automatically. The electronic parking brake already switches itself on automatically when the driver leaves the vehicle.
If no valid vehicle value is detected in the vehicle interior after the ignition is switched off, it is no longer possible to activate the vehicle's drive system without a valid vehicle value. A corresponding message will be shown in the digital instrument cluster.
WARNING
Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
- If the position switch is operated when the ignition is switched on, the vehicle's drive system will be activated immediately under certain conditions.
WARNING
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle value can lead to accidents or injuries.
Always take all vehicle values with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or third parties could lock the vehicle, activate the vehicle's drive system, switch on the ignition or operate electrical equipment such as the electric windows. Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle when the vehicle is locked. They could become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures depending on the season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially among small children.
NOTICE
The ignition can be switched on and the vehicle's drive system activated only if there is a valid vehicle value in the vehicle.
