economical driving adapt your driving style to keep the indicator within the
Eco area. Indicator outside the Eco
area means higher fuel consumption.
On Baselevel display, the current
consumption value is indicated.

152Driving and operatingStarting 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.
Diesel particle filter 3 159.

remain active until key is
removed or driver's door is
opened, if ignition was on
previously.1=Accessory power mode:

functions are operable.3=Engine start . Release key after
starting procedure begins.Steering wheel lock
Remove key from the ignition switch
and turn steering wheel until it
engages.
Power button
Electronic key must be inside the
vehicle.
Accessory power mode: press
Engine Start/Stop button once
without operating clutch or brake pedal. The yellow LED in the button
illuminates. Steering wheel lock is
released and some electrical
functions are operable, ignition is off.

Driving and operating155
Automatic transmission: operate
brake pedal and move selector lever
to P or N.
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Press and release Engine Start/Stop
button: an automatic procedure
operates the starter with a short delay
until the engine is running, see
Automatic Starter Control.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, press Engine Start/Stop
button once more.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal 3 156.Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
Starting 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 vehicle battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx. 5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in position
P .
Automatic Starter Control
This function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not have to hold the key in position 3
or to hold Engine Start/Stop button
pressed. Once applied, the system
will go on starting automatically until
the engine is running. Because of the checking procedure, the engine startsrunning after a short delay.Possible reasons for a non-startingengine:
■ Clutch pedal not operated (manual transmission)
■ Brake pedal not operated or selector lever not in P or N
(automatic transmission)
■ Timeout occurred
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 pedal is released.
