188 Driving and operation
Manoeuvring the vehicle
To manoeuvre the vehicle back and forth
during attempts to park or in garage
entrances, the vehicle’s creeping
movement can be utilised by releasing the
brake pedal.
Never actuate accelerator and brake
pedals simultaneously.
Stopping the vehicle
The selector lever can be left in the chosen
gear with the engine running.
When stopping on gradients engage
handbrake or depress brake pedal. To
prevent overheating of the transmission,
do not increase engine revolutions to
ensure smooth idling while standing if a
gear has been selected.
Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy
period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level
crossings.
Before leaving the vehicle, first apply the
handbrake. Then select P. Remove the
ignition key or, with Open&Start system,
remove the electronic key 3 from the
vehicle. Lock the vehicle. Otherwise the
battery may become discharged if the
vehicle is parked up for long periods.
The ignition key can only be removed when
the selector lever is in position P.
With the Open&Start system 3, "P" flashes
in the transmission display for 10 seconds
when the ignition is switched off if P has not
been engaged or the handbrake has not
been applied.
Fault
If there is a problem with the automatic
transmission, control indicator A
illuminates. The transmission no longer
shifts automatically. The vehicle can
continue to be driven.
Illumination of control indicator A may
also indicate a problem with the engine
electronics, see page 206.
For diesel engines
1)
Z 19 DT and Z 19 DTH,
illumination of control indicator A could
also indicate that the diesel fuel filter must
be drained of water - see page 300.
Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a
workshop.
