cooling, if cooling A/C is switched
on. If the maximum temperature Hi
is set, the climate control system
runs at maximum heating.
Recommended temperature
is 22 °C.

recirculation mode. In operation
without cooling the air humidity
increases, so the windows may

Driving and Operating 145
Manual Gearbox
To engage reverse, depress the
clutch pedal and then engage the
reverse 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 slip the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch
pedal completely. Do not use the
pedal as a foot rest.
Caution
It is not advisable to drive with the
hand resting on the selector lever.
Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle
can still be braked using the other
brake circuit. However, braking
effect is achieved only when the
brake pedal is depressed firmly.
Considerably more force is needed
for this. The braking distance is
extended. Seek the assistance of a
workshop before continuing your
journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal
has been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to
bear this in mind when being towed.

146 Driving and Operating
Antilock Brake
System (ABS)
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake
pressure as soon as a wheel shows
a tendency to lock. The vehicle
remains steerable, even during hard
braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the
brake pedal fully depressed
throughout the braking process,
despite the fact that the pedal is
pulsating. Do not reduce the
pressure on the pedal.
After starting off, the system
performs a self-test which may be
audible.
Control indicator
!0Antilock
Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light 071.
Adaptive brake light
During full braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS
control.
Fault
{Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS
are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no
longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.
Parking Brake
{Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever. (Continued)

Driving and Operating 147
Warning (Continued)
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
foot brake at the same time.
See Brake and Clutch System
Warning Light 071.
Brake Assist
If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain continuous 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 (HSA)
The system helps prevent
unintended movement 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.
The hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop.
Ride Control Systems
Traction Control
System (TCS)
The Traction Control system (TC) is
a component of the Electronic
Stability Control system.
TC improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the tyre 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.
TC is operational as soon as the
control indicator
Gextinguishes.
When TC is active

improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of

swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery
