Automatic transmissionP=park positionR=reverse gearN=neutral positionD=drive position
The selector lever can only be moved
out of P or N when the ignition is on
and the foot brake is depressed
(selector lever lock). To engage P or
R , press the release button on the
selector lever.
The automatic transmission is
available in two versions 3 120.
Starting off
Check before starting off ■ Tyre pressure and condition 3 173,
3 217.
■ Engine oil level and fluid levels 3 148.
■ All windows, mirrors, exterior lighting and number plates are free
from dirt, snow and ice and are
operational.
■ Proper position of mirrors, seats, and seat belts 3 27, 3 35,
3 39.
■ Brake function at low speed, particularly if the brakes are wet.

Driving and operating115Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging the
battery.

Operate clutch and brake, if the clutch pedal is not operated the engine
might not start and the control
indicator - could illuminate.
Automatic transmission in P or N.
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Diesel engine: turn the key to position 2 for preheating and wait until control
indicator ! extinguishes.
Turn key briefly to position 3 and
release.
Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn key back to 0.

116Driving and operating
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an
engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C the
automatic transmission need a
warming phase of approx. 5 minutes. The selector lever must be in position
P .
Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time,
especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle
is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released. Overrun cut-
off is deactivated if catalytic converter
temperature is high.
Stop-start system
The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam. It starts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch is
depressed. A battery sensor ensures
that an Autostop is only performed if
the battery is sufficiently charged for a restart.
Activation The stop-start system is available as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing the eco button.
The deactivation is indicated by the
LED in the button going off.
Autostop
If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
■ Depress the clutch pedal
■ shift the selector lever to neutral
■ release the clutch pedal
The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on.

122Driving and operating
■The automatic neutral shift function
automatically shifts to idling when
the vehicle is stopped with a
forward gear engaged.
■ The adaptive programme tailors gearshifting to the driving
conditions, e.g. greater load or
gradients.
Winter programme T
Activate the Winter programme to
assist starting-off on a slippery road
surface.
Activation
Press the T button with P, R , N , D or
3 engaged. The vehicle starts off in
3rd gear.
Deactivation
The Winter programme is switched off by:
■ pressing the T button again,
■ manually selecting 2 or 1,
■ turning off the ignition,
■ or if the transmission oil temperature is too high.
KickdownIf the accelerator pedal is pressed
past the pressure point, the
transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed.
Fault
In the event of a fault, A illuminates.
The transmission no longer shifts
automatically. Continued travel is
possible with manual shifting.
2nd gear is not available. Manual
shifting:1=1st gear2=3rd gear3, D=4th gear
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Interruption of power
supply
In the event of an interruption of
power supply, the selector lever
cannot be moved out of the P
position.
If the battery is discharged, start the
vehicle using jump leads 3 187.
