Interference due to external sources
of ultrasound. Once the source of
interference is removed, the system
will operate normally.
Have the cause of the fault in the
system remedied by a workshop.
Depending on version, 9 will
illuminate as an alternative if control

The system is actively engaged.
Engine output may be reduced and
the vehicle may be braked
automatically to a small degree.Illuminates
A fault in the system is present.
Continued driving is possible. Driving
stability, however, may deteriorate
depending on road surface
conditions.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.

Engine coolant
temperature $ illuminates red.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on.
If control indicator $ illuminates in
conjunction with a message in the
Driver Information Centre, the coolant
temperature is too high. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Driver Information Centre 3 79.Caution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
the ignition. Danger to engine.
Check coolant level.
If the control indicator remains on, seek the assistance of your
workshop.

Preheating ! illuminates yellow.
Preheating is activated. Only
activates when outside temperature
is low.

[ illuminates yellow.
The diesel particle filter requires
cleaning.
Driving and operating113
To release the parking brake, pull thelever up slightly, press the release
button and fully lower the lever.
To reduce the operating forces of the
parking brake, depress the foot brake
at the same time.
A warning chime will sound if a certain speed is exceeded with the parking
brake applied.
Notice
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 79.
Control indicator R 3 74.
Brake assist
If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when the
brake pedal is released.Hill start assist
The system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the foot brake after
stopping on an incline, the brakes
remain on for a further two seconds.
The brakes release automatically as
soon as the vehicle begins to
accelerate.
If control indicator Z illuminates
while driving, there is a fault in the Hill
start assist 3 75 . Seek the assistance
of a workshop to have the fault
remedied.
The Hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 103.Ride control systems
Traction Control system
The Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR) is a
component of the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP).
ASR improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
ASR is operational as soon as the
control indicator x extinguishes.
When ASR is active, control indicator x flashes.
116Driving and operating
Alternatively accelerate to the desiredspeed and store by pushing lever
upwards ( +).
Reduce speed
With cruise control active, push lever
downwards ( -) or briefly push lever
downwards ( -) repeatedly; speed
decreases continuously or in small
increments.
Deactivation
Automatic deactivation:
■ vehicle speed below approx. 20 mph,
■ the brake pedal is depressed,
■ the clutch pedal is depressed,
■ the traction control system/Anti-Slip
Regulator (ASR) or Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) is
operating.
Resume stored speed Press button = at a speed above
20 mph. The stored speed will be
obtained.Switching off
Turn end of lever to the OFF position;
control indicator m extinguishes. The
stored speed is deleted. Switching off the ignition also deletes the stored
speed.Object detection
systems
Parking assist
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles,
and giving acoustic signals. It is the
driver, however, who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper.
