Conditions that require a manual engine
start
The engine must be started manually in the folloW·
ing conditions :
• If the driver unfastens their seat belt.
• If the driver door is opened .

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Activating and deactivating the start/stop
system manually
• Press the 0 button in the centre console
~Fig. 146.
• If the start/stop system has been deactivated,
the indicator lam p in the button lights up.
The engine will start if the vehicle is in stop mode
when the system is deactivated manually.
Start/stop
mode when adaptive cruise
control (ACC) is active
The engine will be switched off after the adaptive
cruise control (ACC) has brought the vehicle to a
standstill with an active braking intervention
~page 226.
In the following instances, the engine will restart
when the ACC is active:
• If the accelerator is depressed.
• When the ACC has resumed speed and dis­
tance control.
• If the vehicle ahead has moved on.
The brake servo and the electromechanical
steering will not function if the engine is
switched off.
• Never allow the vehicle to roll if the engine
is switched off.
• The start/stop system must be deactivated
if work is to be carried out in the engine com­
partment.
Downhill driving assistant
rf'n First read and observe the introductory
~ information and safety warnings £ on
page 196.
The downhill driving assistant in veh icles with an
~utomatic gearbox helps when braking and travel­
ling downhill ~ £. The downhill driving assistant
uses the braking power of the engine .
The automatic gearbox selects the best gear for
t~e circums tances by taking the steepness of the
h1l.l and the current speed into consideration. To do
th1s the selector lever must be in position D or S.
The downhill driving assistant is not active in Tip­
Ironic mode .
As the downhill driving assistant can only shift
down as far as the 3rd gear, it may be necessary
to activate the Tiptronic mode when driving down
If the start/stop system is used in very high
outside temperatures over a long period, the
vehicle battery can be damaged.
m In some cases, it may be necessa ry to restart
L!J the engine manually. F ollow any correspond­
ing messag es on the instrument cluste r display.

select the 2nd or 1st gear manually in order to
make use of the braking effect of the engine and to
relieve the brakes .
Activating the downhill driving assistant
automatically:
• If the incline is greater than approximately 6%.
• AND: if the selector lever is in position 0 or s.
• In addition, if the CCS or ACC is switched
off: if the vehicle speed is less than approximately
80 km/h (50 mph) or the brake pedal is depressed.
• In addition if the CCS or ACC is active: if the
stored speed is exceeded .

The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking . If the vehicle is approaching an obsta­
cle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors ,
an intermittent acoustic warning is sounded , de­
pending on the distance . The shorter the distance ,
the shorter the intervals . The acoustic warning will
sound continuously if the obstacle is very close .
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound waves. The system uses
the time difference between the ultrason ic waves
(i.e. between the transmission and reflection from
obstacles and the point of reception) to continu­
ously calculate the distance between the bumper
and the obstacle.

• lnfotainment system ~page 31
• Braking , stopping and parking ~page 179
• Reverse assist system (Rear Assist)
~page 209

• Cleaning and caring for the vehicle exterior

• Accessories , modificat ions , repairs and renewal
of parts ~page 320
A WARNING
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen­
tration of the driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec­
ted '--.
A WARNING (Continued) ~-
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound
sensors. The system is unable to detect
these objects or people wearing this type of
clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly.
• External sources of sound can affect the
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain
circumstances, the system may not recog­
nise people or objects.
A WARNING ~-.
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc­
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate
driving style can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
• Always bear in mind the time delay be­
tween the signals.
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or
opening tailgates. This can result in damage to
your vehicle.
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered.
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam­
age if the warning given by the ParkPilot is ig­
nored.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g.
when parking.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers
must be kept clean and free of ice and snow
and not be covered up by stickers or other
items, as these may prevent the system from
working properly.
