Instruments and controls85Vehicle messages
Warning chimes
Only one warning chime will sound at a time.
The warning chime regarding
unfastened seat belts has priority
over any other warning chime.
When starting the engine or
whilst driving ■ If seat belt is not fastened.
■ If a certain speed is exceeded with the parking brake applied.
■ If the parking assist detects an object.
■ If a fault is detected in the parking assist.
■ If a door or the tailgate is not fully closed when starting-off.
■ If the vehicle speed briefly exceeds
a set limit.
■ Vehicles with manual transmission automated; neutral is not selectedor the foot brake has not been
depressed.■ If a transmission fault is detected in
vehicles with manual transmission
automated.
■ If a warning message appears in the Driver Information Centre.
When the vehicle is parked
and/or the driver's door is
opened ■ When the key is in the ignition switch.
■ Vehicles with manual transmission automated; neutral is not selected,
the parking brake is not applied, or
the foot brake and/or the
accelerator pedal has not been
depressed.
Fuel system messages
Fuel cut-off system
In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons. A
corresponding warning message may also appear in the Driver Information
Centre 3 79.To reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven, refer
to " Vehicle shutdown " 3 103.

Control of the vehicleNever coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation ( e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 103.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.Starting 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.
Diesel particle filter 3 106.

102Driving and operatingIgnition switch positionsSTOP=Steering wheel lock
released, ignition offMAR=Ignition on, for diesel
engine: preheatingAVV=StartingStarting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake.
Manual transmission automated: operate brake, the transmission
automatically shifts to N (neutral)
Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Diesel engine: turn the key to positionMAR for preheating until control
indicator ! extinguishes.
Turn the key briefly to position AVV
and release.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn the key back to position
STOP .
Autostop
During an Autostop, the engine is
restarted automatically by depressing the clutch pedal. Vehicles with
manual transmission automated
(MTA): shift to a forward gear, release
brake pedal or move lever to +, – or
R to enable an automatic restart.
Stop-start system 3 103.
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.

Driving and operating105
■ the ambient temperature is not toolow
■ the climate control system allows an Autostop
■ the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
■ the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
■ the brake vacuum is sufficient
■ the windscreen wipers are not operating at fast speed
■ reverse gear is not selected
■ heated rear window is not operating
Ambient temperature near to the
freezing point can inhibit an Autostop.
For manual transmission automated
vehicles, an Autostop may be
inhibited until a speed of approx.
6 mph is reached.
New vehicle running-in 3 101.
Battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.Restart the engine
Manual transmission
The selector lever must be in neutral to enable an automatic restart.
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Manual transmission automated
If the lever is in position N, select
another gear, otherwise release the brake pedal or move the lever to +, –
or R to enable an automatic restart.
When one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will need to be restarted
manually using the key.
■ the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is opened
■ three minutes have elapsed since the engine was switched off
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart may be noticeable.Parking
■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily
ignitable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system
could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply parking brake. Apply manual parking brake without
pressing release button. Apply as
firmly as possible on downhill or uphill slopes. Depress the foot
brake at the same time to reduce
operating force.
■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock engages.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or
uphill slope, engage first gear. On
an uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear. Turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
■ Lock the vehicle.

Driving and operating107Caution
If the cleaning process is
interrupted, there is a risk of
provoking severe engine damage.
Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads.
Control indicator [ extinguishes
as soon as the self-cleaning
operation is complete.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 118, 3 164 could
damage the catalytic converter or
electronic components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of
the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual
problems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop as soon as
possible. In an emergency, driving
can be continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.
Manual transmission
To engage reverse, with the vehicle
stationary, wait 3 seconds after
depressing the clutch pedal, pull up
the collar on the selector lever and
engage the gear.
If the gear does not engage, set the
lever to neutral, release the clutch
pedal and depress again; then repeat
gear selection.
Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily. When operating, depress the clutchpedal completely. Do not use the
pedal as a foot rest.
