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. The charge indicator lamp
should come on.
Starting
Do not depress accelerator.
Turn key in steering lock clockwise to
the stop. Release key only when the
engine is firing regularly
Important!
Due to the installed starter non-repeat
feature, the key must be turned
completely to the left before attempting
to start the engine again.
Observe the oil pressure gauge
immediately after starting the engine. In
a very cold engine the oil pressure will
rise slowly after the engine has started.
Do not speed up the engine before
pressure is registered on the pressure
gauge. If you do not see the gauge
register oil pressure, stop the engine and
have it checked.
The charge indicator lamp should go out
as soon as the engine has started.
In areas where temperatures frequently
drop below -4°F (-
20°C) we recommend
that an engine block heater be installed.
Your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
will advise you on this subject.
Turning Off
Turn the key in the steering lock to
position 0 to stop the engine.
The key can only be removed with the
foot off the brake pedal and the selector
lever in position "P".
