NoteIf the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning
light  illuminates after switching on the ignition. If the warning light  does
not extinguish after moving a short distance, this means there is an error in
the system. Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.

The vehicle will only be braked by the normal brake system without the ABS.
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
In the event of an ABS fault, the other braking and stabilization systems are
turned off » page 84, Braking and stabilisation systems .

The warning light 
is illuminated
If the warning light 
illuminates while driving, it means one of the tyres has
undergone a pressure change.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
›
Immediately reduce speed and avoid sudden steering and braking manoeu-
vres.
›
Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and check the tyres and their inflation
pressures » page 118 .
›
Correct the tyre pressure if necessary or replace the affected
wheel » page 124 or use the repair kit » page 127.
›
Save the tyre pressure values in the system » page 92.
The indicator light  flashes for about 1 min. and remains illuminated
If the warning light  flashes for approximately 1 minute and stays illumina-
ted, there may be a fault in the tyre pressure monitoring system.›
Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and start the engine again.
If the warning light 
flashes again after the engine has started, there is a
system error.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
The following reasons can explain the warning light 
being illuminated.
› The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
› The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
› Snow chains are mounted.
› A wheel has been changed.
Save the tyre pressure values in the system » page 92.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light  in the instrument cluster can be delayed or does
not light up at all.
Note
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning
light  illuminates after switching on the ignition. If the indicator light does
not extinguish after moving a short distance, this means that there is an error
in the system. Seek help from a specialist garage.

39Unlocking and opening

WARNING■Make sure that the door has closed correctly as it can open suddenly
while driving – risk of death!■
Only open and close the door when there is no one in the opening/closing
range – risk of injury!
■
An opened door can close automatically if there is a strong wind or the
vehicle is on an incline – risk of injury!
■
Never drive with the doors open - there is a risk of death!

Safe securing system
Read and observe
and on page 40 first.
The door locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the out-side. The vehicle can not be opened from the inside any more.
You will be informed that the safelock system has been activated after the ve-
hicle has been locked by means of the message   on the instrument
cluster display.
Switching off
The safelock can be switched off by locking twice within 2 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door
can be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
Switching on
The safelock switches on automatically the next time the vehicle is locked and
unlocked.
Switch-off display
The indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out
and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
Switch-on display
The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards
it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
remain in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or
open a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for
rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Note
This function only applies to certain countries.42Using the system

We recommend you adjust the headlight beam when the low beam is switched
on.WARNINGAlways adjust the headlight beam to meet the following conditions.■The vehicle does not dazzle other road users, especially oncoming vehi-
cles.■
The beam range is sufficient for safe driving.
CAUTION
If leaving the vehicle without wanting to use the parking lights, always turn
the light switch to position .
Note
If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the
driver's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning
signal is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is
closed, however the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary.

Read and observe and on page 80 first.
The following modes can be selected with the selector lever » Fig. 81.
N
– Neutral
The power transmission to the drive wheels is interrupted in this mode.
R
– Reverse gear
Reverse gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary and the en-
gine is at idling speed.
The brake pedal must be depressed before setting into position R from posi-
tion N.
D
- Mode for forwards travel (normal programme)
In mode D, the forward gears are automatically changed according to the en-
gine load, accelerator pedal actuation and driving speed.
The brake pedal must be depressed before setting into position D from posi-
tion N.
M
- Manual gearshift (Tiptronic)
Further information » page 81.
With driving mode set, the vehicle will not start up
If the vehicle does not start off, the problem may be that the selector lever is
not completely in the selected position. In such an instance, press the brake
pedal and put the selector lever into the required position.
Faults in the automatic gearbox

81Starting-off and Driving

Antilock Braking System (ABS)Read and observe
on page 84 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.
Traction Control System (TC)
Read and observe
on page 84 first.
TCS prevents the spinning of the wheels of the driven axle. TCS reduces thedrive power transmitted to the wheels in the case of slipping wheels. Thus, for
example, driving on road surfaces with low grip is made easier.
If your vehicle is fitted with the ESC system, TC is integrated into the ESC sys-
tem » page 84 .
Note
For vehicles without stabilization control (ESC), during a TC-intervention the
control indicator  in the instrument cluster flashes.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
Read and observe
on page 84 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes the spinning wheel, if necessary, and transmits the driving force to the
other driving wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different
traction under each wheel of the driven axle.
The EDL switches off automatically in order to avoid excessive heat generation
on the brake of the wheel being braked. The vehicle can continue to be driven
and has the same characteristics as a vehicle not fitted with EDL. Once the
brakes have cooled down, there is an automatic re-activation of EDL.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe
on page 84 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.The HBA is activated by very quick operation of the brake pedal. In order to
achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be ap-
plied firmly until the vehicle has come to a standstill.
The HBA function is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
Hill Hold Control (HHC)
Read and observe
on page 84 first.
When driving on slopes, HHC allows you to move your foot from the brake ped-al to the accelerator pedal without having to use the handbrake.
The system holds the brake pressure produced by the activation of the brake pedal for approx. 2 seconds after the brake pedal is released.
The brake pressure drops gradually the more you operate the accelerator ped-
al. If the vehicle does not start off within 2 seconds, it starts to roll back.
The HHC is active as of a 5 % slope, if the driver door is closed. HHC is always
only active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.
