The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote con-
trol. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few
hundred metres. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating on or off, hold the remote control vertically,
with the aerial
A
» Fig. 128 pointing upwards. The antenna must not be cov-
ered with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio re-
mote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle
is at least 2 m.
After pressing the button, the warning light in the remote control gives the
user different kinds of feedback.

The START-STOP system (hereinafter referred to as the system) saves fuel and
reduces polluting emissions and CO 2 emissions by turning the engine off, e.g.
when stopping at traffic lights, and starting the engine again when moving off.
WARNING■ Never let the vehicle roll with the engine switched off.■The brake servo unit and power steering only operate if the engine is run-
ning.
Operating conditions of the system
Fig. 156
Engine is automatically switched
off / automatic engine cut off is
not possible
Read and observe on page 158 first.
For system-dependent automatic engine shutdown
to work, the following conditions must be met.
The driver's door is closed.
The driver has fastened the seat belt.
The bonnet is closed.
The driving speed was higher than 4 km.h after the last stop.
No trailer is coupled.
Some additional conditions for the system to function correctly cannot be in-
fluenced or recognised by the driver. Therefore, the system can react differ-
ently in situations which are identical from the driver's perspective.
If, after stopping the vehicle, the check icon 
» Fig. 156 appears on the dis-
play, then the conditions for automatic engine shutdown are not met.
Running the engine is essential for the following reasons, for example.
› The engine temperature for the proper function of the system has not yet
been reached.
› The charge state of the vehicle battery is too low.
› The current consumption is too high.
› High air-conditioning or heating capacity (high fan speed, big difference be-
tween the desired and actual interior temperature).
Information about the current status of the system can be displayed in the In-
fotainment display » operating instructions for Infotainment , chapter Vehicle
settings (CAR button) .
Note
■
If the vehicle remains outdoors for a long time in minus temperatures or in
direct sunlight, it can take several hours until the internal temperature of the
vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for proper operation of the
START STOP system.■
If the driver's seat belt is removed for more than approx. 30 seconds or the
driver's door is opened during stop mode, the engine will have to be started
manually.
■
After the manual engine start and with a manual gearbox the automatic en-
gine shutdown can take place only when a minimum distance required for the
system function has been covered.
Operation in vehicles with manual gearbox
Read and observe
on page 158 first.
In compliance with the operating conditions, automatic engine shutdown / au-
tomatic engine start takes place as described.
Automatic engine shutdown
›
Stop the vehicle.
›
Put the gear stick into Neutral. 

158Driving

Engine (drive)
The vehicle acceleration is more dynamic than in Normal mode.
The engine noise is noticeable in the interior more intensely than in
normalmode 1)
.
Steering
The power steering is reduced slightly, i.e., the driver needs to exert more
force for steering .
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The acceleration is quicker than in normal mode with distance con-
trol » page 149 .
Adaptive headlights (AHL)
The headlights adapt to the driving style more dynamically than in mode
Normal » page 74 .
ProActive passenger protection
The first level of protection is deactivated » page 161.
Ecomode
Read and observe
on page 160 first.
This mode is suitable for a relaxed style of driving and helps to save fuel.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
Engine (drive)
Vehicle acceleration is more relaxed than in Normal mode.
The recommended gear is controlled such to achieve the lowest possible fuel
consumption » page 46.
When the START-STOP system was deactivated manually » page 158, it is au-
tomatically activated.
The automatic gearbox is set automatically to mode E » page 133 .
The engine noise is felt less intensely in the interior less than in normalmode 1)
.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Acceleration occurs more relaxed than in Normal » page 149mode with dis-
tance control.
Adaptive headlights (AHL)
The system is automatically deactivated » page 74.
Air conditioning (Climatronic)
The air conditioning is controlled so as to save energy. For this reason, for ex-
ample, it may take longer to reach the desired interior temperature in mode
Normal.
Note
■ The Eco driving mode is not available when towing a trailer. When the vehicle
is connected electrically to a trailer and is in the Eco driving mode, the Normal
driving mode is configured automatically.■
The maximum vehicle acceleration (kickdown function) is possible also in
driving mode Eco.
Individualmode
Read and observe
on page 160 first.
In mode Individual you can select between Normal, Sport and Eco for each sys-tem separately » Operating instructions for Infotainment , chapter Vehicle set-
tings .
ProActive passenger protection
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
162
ProActive passenger protection (From here on referred to only as system) in-
creases passenger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to
vehicle impact or overturning.
WARNING■ The increased safety by ProActive passenger protection must not tempt
you to take greater risks than otherwise – risk of accident!■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions. 
