Driving and operating129Starting 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.
Additionally, the cleaning process of
the diesel particle filter may take
place more often.

for petrol engines.
Diesel engines
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С.
Petrol engines
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to
-30 °C.Required is an engine oil with the
correct viscosity, the correct fuel,
performed services and a sufficiently
charged vehicle battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C, the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx. 5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in position
P .
Automatic starter control This function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not need to hold the key in position 3.
Once applied, the system will go on
starting automatically until the engine is running. Because of the checkingprocedure, the engine starts running
after a short delay.
Possible reasons for a non-starting
engine:
■ clutch pedal not operated (manual transmission)
■ brake pedal not operated or selector lever not in P or N
(automatic transmission)
■ timeout occurred

Driving and operating133
Vehicles with manual transmission
automated
Release the brake pedal or move
selector lever out of D to restart the
engine.
When the engine is restarted, control
indicator D in the DIC extinguishes.
Restart of the engine by the
stop-start system
The selector lever must be in neutral to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system:
■ The stop-start system is manually deactivated.
■ The bonnet is opened.
■ The driver's seat belt is unfastened
and the driver's door is opened.
■ The engine temperature is too low.
■ The charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level.
■ The brake vacuum is not sufficient.■ The vehicle is driven at least at
walking speed.
■ The climate control system requests an engine start.
■ The air conditioning is manually switched on.
If the bonnet is not fully closed, a
warning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.
Parking9 Warning
■ Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply the parking brake.
Activate the manual parking
brake without pressing the
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.
■ Switch off the engine.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector lever
to position P before removing
the ignition key. On an uphill
slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position P before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
■ Close the windows and the sunroof.
■ Remove the ignition key. Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, the key can only

spinning. ESC operates in
combination with the Traction Control system (TC).
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery road
surfaces.
ESC is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
b extinguishes.
When ESC operates b flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system the
control indicator b illuminates
continuously and a message or a
warning code appears in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is not
operational.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
City mode City mode is a feature which enables
increased steering assistance during
lower speed conditions, e.g. city
traffic or parking. Steering assistance
is increased for greater convenience.
Activation
Press button B when engine is
running. The system works from
standstill up to 22 mph, and in reverse gear. Above this speed, the system
changes to normal mode. When
activated, City mode engages
automatically below 22 mph.
An illuminated LED in the City mode
button indicates that the system is
active and a message pops-up in the
Driver Information Centre.
City mode remains active during an
Autostop, but is only operational
when the engine is running.

Deactivation
Press button B; LED in the button
extinguishes and a message pops-up
in the Driver Information Centre.
Each time the engine is started, City
mode is deactivated.
Overload If the steering in City mode is heavily
loaded, e.g. in long parking
manoeuvres or heavy city traffic, the
system is deactivated for overheat
protection. Steering operates in
normal mode until City mode
activates automatically.
FaultIn the event of a fault in the system,
control indicator c illuminates and a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 100.
System calibration If control indicators c and b
illuminate simultaneously, a
calibration of the power steering
system is necessary. This can occur
e.g. when turning the steering wheel
for one rotation with ignition switched
off. In this case, switch on ignition and turn steering wheel once from lock to
lock.
If control indicators c and b do not
extinguish after calibration, seek the
assistance of a workshop.Driver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of approx. 20 to
120 mph. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill.

Driving and operating159
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Colour-Info-Display
and an acoustic signal is given.
If the driver does not stop the vehicle within 10 metres for parallel parking
slots or six metres for perpendicular
parking slots after a parking slot is
proposed, the system starts to search
for another suitable parking slot.
Park guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the
system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres for parallel parking slots or
six metres for perpendicular parkingslots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parkingslots on the driver side, switch on turn
signal indicator to the driver side for
the durance of the search.
As soon as the turn signal indicator is switched off, the system searches for
parking slots on the passenger side again.Display indication
The instructions on the display show:
■ general hints and warning messages
■ a hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in
guiding mode
■ the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected
■ the direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre
■ the demand to shift into reverse or first gear
■ the demand to accelerate or brake ■ for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the DriverInformation Centre (DIC)

160Driving and operating
■ the successful completion of theparking manoeuvre indicated by a
pop-up symbol and a chime
■ the cancelling of a parking manoeuvre
Display priorities
Advanced parking assist indication in the DIC can be inhibited by vehicle
messages with a higher priority. After
approving the message by pressing
the SET/CLR button on the turn signal
lever, advanced parking assist
instructions appear again and the
parking manoeuvre can be continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
■ a long press of button D
■ parking manoeuvre successfully ended
■ driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot search
■ driving faster than 5 mph during parking guidance
■ driver interference on steering wheel detected■ exceeding number of maximumgear changes: eight cycles when
parallel parking or five cycles when
perpendicular parking
■ switching off the ignition
Deactivation by the driver or by the
system during manoeuvring will be
indicated by Parking Deactivated on
the display. Additionally, an acoustic
signal sounds.
Fault
A message appears when:
■ there is a fault in the system
■ the driver did not successfully complete the parking manoeuvre
■ the system is not operational
■ any of the deactivation reasons described above apply
If an object is detected during parking instructions, Stop is indicated on the
display. Removing the object will
resume the parking manoeuvre. If the
object is not removed, the system will
be deactivated. A long press of button
D will activate the system and
search for a new parking slot.Basic notes on parking assist
systems9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and
