– The engine has been turned off by the StartStop-System*.
– The driver's door is opened.
– The driver's seat belt is removed.
– The brake pedal is not pressed down.

In this case, the activated low beam will be replaced by the side marker lights. The side
marker lights will switch off after approximately 30 minutes or when you lock the vehicle.
If the Start-Stop-System* has not turned off
the engine, the ignition will not be automatically switched off and the engine will continue
to run ð .

WARNING
Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces - danger of asphyxiation.
