In brief17
Stop-start system
If the vehicle is at low speed or in
standstill and certain conditions are
fulfilled, activate an Autostop as
follows:
■ Depress the clutch pedal
■ shift the selector lever to N
■ release the clutch pedal
An Autostop is indicated when Ï
illuminates green in the instrument
cluster.
To restart the engine, depress the clutch pedal again.
Stop-start system 3 108.
ParkingCaution
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 without
pressing release button. Apply as
firmly as possible on a downhill
slope or uphill slope. Depress foot
brake at the same time to reduce
operating force.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or
uphill slope, engage first gear
before switching off the ignition. On
an uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear before
switching off the ignition. Turn the
front wheels towards the kerb.
■ After running at high engine speeds
or with high engine loads, operate the engine briefly at a low load or
run in neutral for approx.
30 seconds before switching off, in
order to protect the turbocharger.
■ Switch off the engine. Turn the ignition key to position St and
remove it. Turn steering wheel until
it locks.
■ Close the windows.
■ Lock the vehicle. Activate the anti-theft alarm system
3 27.
■ The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switchedoff 3 133.

Seats, restraints43Seat belts
The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle, holding the occupants in
the sitting position. Therefore, the risk of injury is considerably reduced.
9 Warning
Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people
not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time. Child
restraint system 3 51.
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage and proper
functionality.
Have damaged components
replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt pretensioners replaced by a workshop.
Notice
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or are trapped. Prevent dirt
from getting into the belt retractors.
Seat belt reminder Front seats are equipped with a seat
belt reminder, indicated by control
indicator X in the instrument cluster
3 78.
Belt force limiters
On the front seats, stress on the body is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.Belt pretensioners
In the event of a head-on or rear-end
collision of a certain severity, the front
seat belts are tightened.9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
pretensioners.
Deployment of the belt pretensioners
is indicated by continuous illumination
of control indicator v 3 78.
Triggered belt pretensioners must be replaced by a workshop. Belt
pretensioners can only be triggered
once.
Notice
Do not affix or install accessories or
other objects that may interfere with
the operation of the belt
pretensioners. Do not make any
modifications to belt pretensioner
components as this will invalidate
the vehicle type approval.

Service display
When the ignition is switched on, the remaining distance before the next
service is due may be shown briefly in the Driver Information Centre. Based
on driving conditions, the interval at
which a service will be indicated can
vary considerably.
When the remaining distance before
the next service is less than
1800 miles or 2 months, SERVICE
IN appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
When the distance reaches 0 miles or the service date is due, control
indicators o and A illuminate in the
instrument cluster and SERVICE
DUE appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
The vehicle needs a service. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Resetting the service displayAfter a service, the service displaymust be reset: if available, select the

108Driving and operatingIdle speed control
To increase the idle speed press the
switch. After a few seconds the
function will be activated.
The function will be deactivated
when:
■ The clutch pedal is depressed
■ The accelerator pedal is depressed
■ MTA is not in neutral N
■ Vehicle speed is above 0 mph
■ Control indicator A, W or C
illuminate in the instrument cluster
To increase or decrease the fast idle
speed rate, consult a workshop.
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 is released.
Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emission. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at low speed or standstill,
e.g. at a traffic light or in a traffic jam.
It starts the engine automatically as
soon as the clutch is depressed. A vehicle battery sensor ensures that
an Autostop is only performed if the
vehicle battery is sufficiently charged
for a restart.
Activation The stop-start system is available assoon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing the stop-start
Î button. LED in the button
illuminates when the system is
deactivated.
Autostop
If the vehicle is at low speed or
standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
■ depress the clutch pedal
■ shift the selector lever to N
■ release the clutch pedal
