Forward position with one-touch mode:

> S: Sequential mode

The SMG II is ready for operation from

ignition key position 2.

For your safety, it is only possible to

engage a driving position with the

vehicle stopped approx. 2 seconds

after engaging the position 0 with the

footbrake depressed (shift-lock func-

tion).

It is not necessary to hold the footbrake

depressed until starting off, as the

vehicle does not move forward with the

driving position engaged.

Starting engine and driving off

To start the engine:

1. Depress footbrake

2. Move selector lever into position 0

3. Turn the ignition key to position 3,

refer to page 56.

To drive off:

1. Depress footbrake

2. Engage a driving position

3. Release footbrake and slowly

depress accelerator pedal.

With the engine running, the gear

indicator in the instrument cluster

flashes to indicate that a driving posi-

tion is engaged with the driver's door

open or if the hood is not closed prop-

erly, refer to page 61.

If none of the pedals is actuated, then

the gearbox is automatically taken out

of gear after approx. 4 seconds.

Then the desired direction of travel

must be selected again with the

selector lever in position 0.<

Starting off is not possible with the

hood open.<

Before exiting the vehicle with the

engine running, move the selector

lever into position 0 and apply the

parking brake.

Never leave the vehicle unattended

with the engine running. An unat-

tended vehicle with a running engine

represents a potential safety hazard.<

Switching off engine

If you turn the ignition key to position 1

or 0 with the selector lever in the

forward or reverse position, a gear

automatically remains engaged.

If you turn the ignition key to position 1

or 0 with the selector lever in position 0,

a gong and the flashing gear indicator

in the SMG display remind you that the

vehicle is not secured against rolling.
