124Driving and operating
Once applied, the system will go on
starting automatically until the engine
is running. Because of the checking procedure, the engine starts running
after a short delay.
Possible reasons for a non-starting
engine:
■ clutch pedal is not operated (manual transmission).
■ brake pedal not operated (manual transmission automated).
■ timeout occurred.
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully
protect the engine.
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
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam.
On vehicles with manual
transmission, the engine is started
automatically as soon as the clutch is
depressed.
On vehicles with manual transmission
automated, the engine is started
automatically as soon as the brake
pedal is released.
A vehicle battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is only performed if thevehicle battery is sufficiently charged
for a restart.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as soon 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 eco button.
The deactivation is indicated when
the LED in the button extinguishes.
Autostop
Vehicles with manual transmission:
If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
■ Depress the clutch pedal.
■ Set the lever in neutral.
■ Release the clutch pedal.

Driving and operating131
manual mode is only possible while
the engine is running or during an
Autostop.
Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow. Move the selector lever between R and D in a repeat
pattern. Do not race the engine and
avoid sudden acceleration.
Parking
The most recently engaged gear (see transmission display) remains
engaged when switching off ignition.
With N, no gear is engaged.
Therefore always apply the parking
brake when switching off ignition. If
parking brake is not applied, P flashes
in the transmission display and the
key cannot be removed from the
ignition switch. P stops flashing in the
transmission display as soon as the
parking brake is slightly applied.
When the ignition is switched off, the
transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.Tyre pressure monitoring
system
To start the sensor matching process of the tyre pressure monitoring
system, the selector lever must be
moved and held in position N for
five seconds. P illuminates in the
transmission display to indicate that
the sensor matching process can be
started.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
3 182.
Manual mode
If a higher gear is selected when the
engine speed is too low, or a lower
gear when the speed is too high, the
shift is not executed. This prevents
the engine from running at too low or
too high an engine speed. A warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. Vehicle
messages 3 97.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.If engine speed is too high, the
transmission only switches to a higher gear via kickdown.
When + or - is selected in automatic
mode, the transmission switches to
manual mode and shifts accordingly.
Gear shift indication The symbol R, with a number
alongside it, is indicated when
gearshifting is recommended for fuel
saving reasons.
Shift indication appears only in
manual mode.
Electronic driving
programmes ■ Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increasesengine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
■ The adaptive programme tailors gearshifting to the driving
conditions, e.g. greater load or
gradients.

Driving and operating141
Release the accelerator pedal and
the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than the limit speed is obtained.
Deactivation
Press button y: speed limiter is
deactivated and the vehicle can be
driven without speed limit.
The limited speed is stored.
Additionally, a corresponding
message appears on the Uplevel-
Display.
Resume limit speed Turn thumb wheel to RES/+. The
stored speed limit will be obtained.
Switching off Press button L, the speed limit
indication in the Driver Information
Centre extinguishes. The stored
speed is deleted.
By pressing button m to activate
cruise control or by switching off the
ignition, speed limiter is also
deactivated and the stored speed is
deleted.Parking assist
Rear parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the rear parking assist system.
The rear parking assist makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
rear obstacles. It informs and warns
the driver by giving acoustic and
visual signals.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is ready to operate
automatically.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
1.5 metres. The interval between the

142Driving and operating
sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to that obstacle.
When the distance is less than about 30 cm, the sound is continuous.
Additionally the distance to obstacles
is shown in the Driver Information
Centre 3 90 or, depending on the
version, on the Colour-Info-Display
3 95.
Deactivation
The system automatically switches
off when reverse gear is disengaged.
Manual deactivation is also possible
by pressing the parking assist button
r .
In both cases the LED in the button
extinguishes.
Fault
In the event of a fault or if the system does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, the LED
in the button flashes for 3 seconds
and then extinguishes. Control
indicator r illuminates in the
instrument cluster 3 88 and a
message pops-up in the Driver
Information Centre.
Front-rear parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
The front-rear parking assist
measures the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in front and
behind the vehicle. The system gives acoustic signals and display
messages.
The system has six ultrasonic parking
sensors in both the rear and front
bumper.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.
Front-rear parking assist is always
combined with advanced parking
assist, see "Advanced parking assist" section below.

Driving and operating145
Vehicle messages 3 97.
Advanced parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
the advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle into a parallel or
perpendicular parking slot.
Instructions are given in the Driver
Information Centre 3 90 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour-Info-Display 3 95, supported
by acoustic signals.
The driver must control acceleration,
braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically.
Advanced parking assist can only be
activated when driving forwards.
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist, see previous section. Both
systems use the same sensors in the front and rear bumper.
Button D and operation logic
Advanced parking assist and front-
rear parking assist both use the same
button for activation and deactivation:
A brief press of button D activates
or deactivates the parking assist.
A long press of button D (approx.
one second) activates or deactivates
the advanced parking assist, see
separate description below.
Button logic operates the systems by
pressing as follows:
■ If only front-rear parking assist is active, a brief press deactivates
front-rear parking assist.
■ If only front-rear parking assist is active, a long press activates
advanced parking assist.
■ If only advanced parking assist is active, a brief press activates front-rear parking assist.
■ If only advanced parking assist is active, a long press deactivates
