Starting off with a trailer
To prevent rolling back unintentionally on an in­
cline, do the following:
11-Keep the switch pulled and depress the acceler­
ator. The park ing brake stays applied and pre­
vents the vehicle from roll ing backward .
11-You can release the switch once you are sure
th at you a re developing enough dr iving force at
the whee ls by depressing the a cce le rato r.
Depending on the weight of the r ig (veh icle and
trai ler) and the severity of the inc line, you may
r oll bac kwards as you sta rt . Yo u can prevent roll­
in g ba ckwards by ho ld in g the pa rking brake
sw itch pulled o ut and accelera ting - just as you
wo uld when sta rting on a hill with a conventiona l
hand brake .
Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks .
11-In a n eme rgency, pull the sw itch and conti nue
to pull it to slow your vehi cle down wi th the
parking brake .
11-As soon as you release the switch or acce le rate,
the braking process stops.
If yo u pull the sw itch and hold it above a speed of
about S mph (8 km/h), t he emergency braking
f u nction is init iated . The veh icle is braked at all
four whee ls by activating the hydra ulic brake sys­
t em. The brake performance is simi lar to making
an emergency stop¢.&. .
In o rder not to activate the emergency brak ing by
mistake, an audible warning tone (b uzzer)
sounds w hen the sw itch is p ulled. As soon as t he
sw itch is released, or the accelerator peda l is de­
p ressed, emergency brak ing stops.
A WARNING
Emergency b raking should on ly b e used i n an
eme rgency, when the normal foot brake has
f ail ed or the br ake pedal is obstruc ted. Using
t he par king brake to pe rform emergency brak­
ing w ill slow your vehicle down as if you had
made a fu ll brake a pplicat ion . The laws of
Dri ving
physics cannot be suspended even with ESC
and its associated components (ABS, ASR,
EDS). In corners and when road or weather
c o nditions are bad, a f ull brake application
can cause the vehicle to skid o r th e rear end to
b reak away -risking an accid ent .

Caution: Vehicle parked too steep
T h is message appears w hen t he pa rking brake is

Press brake pedal to release parking brake
This dr iver message appears when the sw itch to
release the parking bra ke was pressed. The par k­
ing brake can only be released if you step on the
brake pedal and at the same t ime press t he
switch or you automat ica lly release the parki ng
brake with the starti ng assist ¢

Start/Stop system
Description
Applies to veh icles: w ith Start -Stop -System
T he Sta rt-Stop -System can help increase fuel
economy and reduce CO2 emissions.
In the Star t-Stop -mode, the engine shu ts o ff au­
tomatica lly when the vehicle is stoppe d, such as
at a t raffic lig ht. The ignition remains sw itche d
on during this stop phase. The engine w ill be au­
tomat ica lly restarted when needed.
The last S tart -Stop -System sett ing (on/off using

General information
Applies to vehicles: with Start-Stop-System
The standard Start-Stop-mode can be cancelled
for different system-related reasons.

Engine will not switch off
.... M
9 cc IX) ID
Before each stop phase, the system checks if cer­
tain conditions have been met. For example, the
engine will
not be switched off in the following
situations:
- The engine has not reached the minimum re­
quired temperature for Start-Stop-mode.
- The interior temperature selected by the A/C system has not been reached.
- The outside temperature is extremely high/low.
- The windshield is being defrosted ~
page 82.
-The park ing system* is switched on .
- The battery cha rge level is too low.
- The steer ing whee l is sharply turned or there is
a steering movement.
- After engaging the reverse gear.
Engine automatically restarts
The stop phase is interrupted in the following sit­
uations, for example. The engine restarts without
any action by the driver.
- The interior temperature varies from the tem­
perature selected in the A/C system.
- The windshield is beeing defrosted
~ page 82.
-The brake pedal is pressed several times in a
row.
Driving
- The battery charge level becomes too low.
Switching the ignition off automatically
To prevent the battery from draining, the ignition
will switch off
automatically when all of the fol­
lowing condit ions have been met:
- The vehicle has already been driven.
- The engine has been turned off by the Start-
Stop-System.
- The driver's door is opened.
- The driver's seat belt is removed .
- The brake pedal is not pressed down.
- The vehicle is stationary .
In this case, the activated low beam will be re­
placed by the side marker lights. The side marker
lights will switch off after approximately 30 mi ­
nutes or when you lock the vehicle .
If the Start-Stop-System has
not turned off the
engine or if you have switched the Start-Stop­
System off manually, the ignition will
not be au­
tomatically switched off and the engine will con­
tinue to run~,&. .
A WARNING
Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces - danger of asphyxiation.
(D Tips
-
If you shift into the D/S or N positions after
sh ifting into reverse, the vehicle must be driv­
en faster than 6 mph (10 km/h) in orde r for
the engine to switch off again.

Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning sys tem warns if the driver ex­
ceeds a prev iously stored maximum speed. A
warning tone will sound as soon as the vehicle
speed exceeds t he set speed by abo ut
3 mph
(3 km/h). At the same time, a warning sym bol
appe ars in t he display . Th e symbol's appea ran ce
might be different in some models .
The spe ed wa rni ng system has
two warning
thre sholds
that fu nction inde pendently of eac h
other and tha t have somewha t diffe ren t p urpos­
es:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed war ning 1 to set the maxim um
speed wh ile you are d riv ing. This setting will re­
main in effec t until yo u turn off the ig nition, as­
s u ming tha t you have not changed or reset the
setting .
The speed wa rn ing symbol . (USA models)/ .
(C an ada model s) in the warning
1 d is pla y ap ­
pears when yo u exceed the maximum speed . It
goes ou t when the speed falls be low the stored
max imum speed .
The speed warni ng symbol will also go o ut if the
speed
excee ds the stored maxim um speed by
more than abo ut
2 5 mph (4 0 km/h) for at least
10 seconds . The stored maxim um speed is delet­
