06 Starting and driving<br />
Starting the engine<br />
06<br />
symbol on the dashboard illuminates, and<br />
the message SOOT FILTER FULL SEE MAN-<br />
UAL is shown on the dashboard display.<br />
Start regeneration of the filter by driving the<br />
car until the engine reaches normal operating<br />
temperature, preferably on a main road or<br />
motorway. The car should then be driven for<br />
approximately 20 minutes more.<br />
When regeneration is complete the message<br />
is cleared automatically.<br />
IMPORTANT<br />
If the filter fills up it may be incapable of<br />
functioning. Then it can be difficult to start<br />
the engine and there is a risk that the filter<br />
will have to be replaced.<br />
Use the parking heater (option) in cold<br />
weather so that the engine reaches normal<br />
operating temperature more quickly.<br />
Ignition keys and electronic<br />
immobiliser<br />
The ignition key must not hang with other<br />
keys or metal objects on the same key ring.<br />
Otherwise the electronic immobiliser could<br />
be activated accidentally.<br />

A ticking sound may be heard if the key is between<br />
positions. Turn the key to position II<br />
and back to eliminate the sound.<br />
When the steering lock is activated<br />
If the front wheels are positioned so that<br />
there is tension in the steering lock, a warning<br />
message may be shown in the information<br />
display and the car prohibited from starting.<br />
1. Remove the key and turn the steering<br />
wheel to release the tension.<br />
2. Hold the steering wheel in this position.<br />
Reinsert the key and make a new attempt<br />
to start the car.<br />
WARNING<br />
Never remove the ignition key from the ignition<br />
switch while driving or when the car is<br />
being towed. The steering lock could otherwise<br />
be activated, making it impossible to<br />
steer the car.<br />
WARNING<br />
Always remove the ignition key from the ignition<br />
when leaving the car, especially if<br />
there are children in the car.<br />
Make sure the steering lock is activated<br />
when the car is left to reduce the risk of theft.<br />
