DrivingVehicle equipmentAll standard, country-specific and optional
equipment that is offered in the model series is
described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment
is also described that is not available in a vehi‐
cle, e. g., because of the selected optional
equipment or country variant. This also applies
for safety-related functions and systems.
Start/Stop button
The concept Pressing the Start/Stop button
switches the ignition on or off
and starts the engine.
Automatic transmission: the en‐
gine starts in selector lever posi‐
tion P or N if the brake pedal is pressed when
you press the Start/Stop button.
Manual transmission: the engine starts if the
clutch pedal is depressed when the Start/Stop
button is pressed.
Ignition on Automatic transmission: press the Start/Stop
button, and do not press on the brake pedal at
the same time.
Manual-shift transmission: press the Start/Stop
button, and do not press on the clutch pedal at
the same time.
All vehicle systems are ready for operation.
Most of the indicator and warning lamps in the
instrument cluster light up for varying lengths
of time.
To save battery power when the engine is off,
switch off the ignition and any unnecessary
electronic systems/power consumers.Note
If the engine is switched off and the ignition is
switched on, the system automatically switches
to the radio ready state when the door is
opened if the lights are switched off or the day‐
time running lights are switched on.
Ignition off
Manual-shift transmission: press the Start/Stop
button again, and do not press on the clutch
pedal at the same time.
Automatic transmission: press the Start/Stop
button again, and do not press on the brake
pedal at the same time.
All indicator lamps in the instrument cluster go
out.
To save battery power when the engine is off,
switch off the ignition and any unnecessary
electronic systems/power consumers.
Ignition automatically cuts off while the vehicle
is stationary and the engine is stopped:▷During locking, also with the low beams ac‐
tivated.▷Shortly before the battery is discharged
completely, so that the engine can still be
started. This function is only available when
the low beams are switched off.▷When opening and closing the driver door,
if the driver's seat belt is unbuckled and the
low beams are switched off.▷While the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, if
the driver's door is open and the low beams
are switched off.
When the ignition is switched off, by opening or
closing the driver's door or unbuckling the driv‐
er's seat belt, the radio ready state remains ac‐
tive.

The selected drive mode is briefly displayed in
the instrument cluster, followed by the current
one.
Manual mode M/S: prevent automatic upshifting
Once maximum engine speed is attained, M/S
manual mode is automatically upshifted as
needed.
For vehicles with Sport automatic transmission,
automatic shift operations are not performed if
one of the following conditions is met:▷DSC is deactivated.▷TRACTION is activated.
In addition, the kickdown is deactivated.
Ending the sport program/manual
mode
Push the gear selector lever to the right.

Shift paddles for Sport automatic
transmission
The shift paddles on the steering wheel allow
you to shift drive modes quickly while keeping
both hands on the steering wheel.
If the shift paddles on the steering wheel are
used to shift gears in automatic mode, the
transmission temporarily switches to manual
mode.
If the shift paddles are not used and the vehicle
is not accelerated for a certain time, the system
switches back into automatic mode if the gear
selector lever is in drive mode D.
▷Shift up: pull right shift paddle.▷Shift down: pull left shift paddle.
The vehicle only shifts up or down at appropri‐
ate engine and road speeds, e.g., it does not
shift down if the engine speed is too high.
The selected drive mode is briefly displayed in
the instrument cluster, followed by the current
one.
Displays in the instrument cluster The selector lever position is dis‐
played, e.g.: P.
Drive mode lock, manually unlocking Should the gear selector lever be blocked in se‐
lector lever position P despite the ignition being

Sport automatic transmission: Launch
Control
The concept
Launch Control enables optimum acceleration
on surfaces with good traction.
Hints Component wear
Do not use Launch Control too often; oth‐
erwise, this may result in premature wear of
components due to the high stress placed on
the vehicle. ◀
Did not use Launch Control during the break-in,
refer to page 124, period.
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.
Requirements
Launch Control is available when the engine is

of at least 6 miles/10 km.
To start with Launch Control do not steer the
steering wheel.
Start with launch control
While the engine is running:
1. Press button and select with the
Driving Dynamics Control, refer to
page 88, Sport+.
In the instrument cluster, TRACTION is dis‐
played in combination with SPORT. The DSC
OFF indicator lamp lights up.2.Engaging the transmission position S3.With the left foot, forcefully press down on
