Starting and turning off the engine

Before starting

Ensure that parking brake is engaged and that selector

lever is in position “P” or “N”. Turn key in steering lock

to position 2.

Starting

Do not depress accelerator. Briefly turn key in steering

lock clockwise to the stop and release. The starter will

engage until the engine is running.

If engine will not run, and the starting procedure stops,

turn key completely to the left and repeat starting the

engine.

After several unsuccessful attempts, have the system

checked at the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center.

Important!

Due to the installed starter nonrepeat feature, the key

must be turned completely to the left before attempting

to start the engine again.

In areas where temperatures frequently drop below

-4°F (-20°C) we recommend that an engine block heater

be installed. Your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center will

advise you on this subject.

Turning off

Turn the key in the steering lock to position 0 to stop the

engine.

Vehicles with automatic transmission:

The key can only be removed with your foot off the

brake pedal and the selector lever in position “P”.
