In Brief
Parking the vehicle zApply hand brake firmly without
operating release bu tton. On a downhill
or uphill slope, apply as firmly as
possible. Apply foot brake at same time
to reduce operating force.
z Switch off engine and ignition. Turn the
ignition key to position 0 and pull it out.
Turn the steering wheel until it is clear
that the steering lock has engaged
(anti-theft protection).
On vehicles with automatic
transmission 3, the key can only be
removed when the selector lever is in
the P position.
On vehicles with manual transmission
automated 3, control indicator R
flashes for a few seconds after the
ignition is switched off if the hand brake
has not been applied. z
If the vehicle is standing on a level
surface or a hill, select first gear before
switching the ignition off with manual
transmission automated 3, and with
automatic transmission 3 move selector
lever to P. Also turn front wheels away
from kerb if parked on an uphill slope.
If the vehicle is parked on a slope, with
manual transmi ssion or manual
transmission automated, 3 select
reverse gear before switching the
ignition off, and with automatic
transmission 3 move selector lever to
position P. Also turn front wheels
towards the kerb.
z Lock vehicle with key in lock or button p
on the remote key fob.
To activate the anti-theft locking
system 3 and anti-theft alarm system 3,
press button p twice.
Advice when parking zDo not park the vehicle on an easy
flammable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system
could ignite the surface.
z Close the windows and sun roof 3.
z The engine cooling fans may run after
the engine has been switched off 3241.
z After running at high engine speeds or
with high engine loads, operate the
engine briefly at a low load or run in
neutral for approx. 30 seconds before
switching off in order to protect the
turbocharger 3.

machines). Once the source of interference
is removed, the system will operate
normally.

!

Preheating system 3, diesel particle
filter 3
Control indicator lights up and/or flashes
yellow.
Lamps

Preheating activated. Only activates when
outside temperatures are low.
Flashes
(in vehicles with diesel particle filter)
Control indicator ! flashes if the filter
requires cleaning and previous driving
conditions did not permit automatic
cleaning. Continue driving and if possible do
not allow engine speed to drop below
2000 rpm. The control indicator
! goes off as soon
as the self-cleaning op eration is complete.

Z

Exhaust emission 3
Control indicator lights up and/or flashes
yellow.
It illuminates when the ignition is switched
on and goes out shortly after the engine
starts.
Illuminates when the engine is running
Fault in emission control system. The
permissible emission limits may be
exceeded. Contact a workshop for
assistance immediately.
If it flashes when the engine is runningFault that could lead to catalytic converter
damage. Ease up on the throttle until the
flashing stops 3156. Seek the immediate
assistance of a workshop.

Driving and operation
Driving characteristics, towing tips
Before attaching the trailer/caravan,
lubricate the ball of the trailer/caravan
towing device. However, do not lubricate
the ball if a stabiliser, which acts on the
coupling ball, is being used to damp
hunting.
Check caravan/traile r lighting before
starting to drive. The fog tail lamps on the
vehicle are deactivated when towing a
caravan or trailer.
Trailers with LED turn signals must have a
provision enables lamp monitoring for
commercial bulbs.
Ultrasonic parking sensors 3 are
deactivated in towing mode.
Handling is greatly influenced by the
loading of the trailer/caravan. Loads
should therefore be secured so that they
cannot slip and be placed in the centre of
the trailer/caravan if possible, i.e. above
the axle.
For trailers with low directional control and
for caravans with a permissible gross
vehicle weight of more than 1000 kg, a
speed of 80 km/h must not be exceeded;
use of a roll damper in accordance with the
friction principle is urgently recommended. If the trailer/caravan starts to sway, drive
more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if necessary.
If it is necessary to apply the brakes fully,
depress the brake pedal as hard as
possible.
Remember that the braking distance for
vehicles towing caravans/trailers with and
without brake is always greater than that
for vehicles not towing a caravan/trailer.
When driving downhill, drive in the same
gear as if driving uphill and drive at a
similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified
for full load
3264. Starting on inclines
For vehicles with manual transmission, the
most favourable engine speed when
starting off on an incline is between
2500 and 3000 rpm for petrol engines and
between 2000 and 2200 rpm for diesel
engines. Hold engine speed constant,
engage clutch gradually (let slip), release
hand brake and open throttle. If possible,
the engine speed should not drop during
this procedure.
In vehicles with automatic transmission
3
and manual transmission automated 3 it is
sufficient to give full throttle in D or
(in automatic mode) 3.
Before starting off under extreme
operating conditions, switch off
unnecessary consumers.
