Driving and operating125
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn key back to LOCK.
Start attempts should not last longer than 15 seconds. If engine does not
start, wait 10 seconds before
repeating starting procedure.
The increased engine speed
automatically returns to normal idling
speed as the engine temperature
rises. Drive at a moderate speed,
especially in cold weather, until
normal engine operating
temperatures have been reached.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Stop-start system 3 125.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures In extremely cold temperatures, i.e.
below -20 °С, it may be necessary to
crank the engine for up to
30 seconds for it to start.
Turn key to position START and hold
until engine starts. Start attempts
should not last longer than30 seconds. If engine does not start,
wait 10 seconds before repeating starting procedure.
Ensure the engine oil is of the correct
viscosity, the correct fuel is used,
vehicle services are performed
regularly and the battery is sufficiently charged.
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. 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 as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.

132Driving and operating
transmission will automatically shift toa lower gear, even in manual mode,
to prevent the engine from stalling.
If a higher gear is selected when
vehicle speed is too low, or a lower
gear when vehicle speed is too high,
the shift is not executed.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions.
Gears can be skipped by moving the
selector lever repeatedly at short
intervals.
After stopping, 1st gear is
automatically selected. When starting
on slippery surfaces, tip selector lever forwards to engage 2nd gear.
To move back to position D, move
selector lever back to the right.
Electronic driving
programmes ■ Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increasesengine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.Kickdown
In both automatic and manual modes, if the accelerator pedal is pressed
down completely the transmission
shifts to a lower gear depending on
engine speed. Full engine power is
available for acceleration.
Fuel economy mode
Activate fuel economy mode to allow
the transmission to adapt gearshift
patterns, improving the vehicle's fuel
economy.
Activation
In automatic mode, press button
s ; control indicator s
illuminates in the instrument cluster 3 90.
The settings of certain electronic
systems are adapted to reduce fuel
consumption:
■ The engine reacts less quickly to the accelerator pedal.
■ Automatic upshift points occur sooner and downshift points occur
later.
■ The transmission locks itself to the engine at cruising speeds, to
improve efficiency and increase
power and torque.
■ The fuel supply is automatically cut-
off more quickly during vehicle
deceleration. Overrun cut-off
3 125.
Do not use fuel economy mode whilst towing, e.g. a trailer.

134Driving and operatingManual transmission
To engage reverse, with the vehicle
stationary, wait 3 seconds after
depressing clutch pedal and engage
the 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.
Drive systems
All-wheel drive
All-wheel drive is an active-on-
demand system that engages
automatically, with no action required by the driver. Depending on the
driving environment, the vehicle
switches between two-wheel drive
and four-wheel drive, to give the vehicle more traction and stability
when necessary.
If the front wheels begin to slip, the
rear wheels will automatically begin to
drive the vehicle as required. More
torque is transferred to the wheels
that have the most traction, so the
vehicle has optimum grip at all times. There may be a slight engagement
noise during hard use.
As well as enabling the vehicle to be
driven off-road, this system also
enables the vehicle to be driven on
normal roads without incurring
excessive tyre and drivetrain wear or
causing poor control.

144Driving and operating
If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times
continuously when there are no
obstacles near the front or rear
bumper, there is a fault in the system.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
Important hints for using theparking assist system9 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 has to 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 correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfills these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10 % bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating 3 205. Use of fuel with
too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly
increases fuel consumption.Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.

Driving and operating145Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent can lead to deposits or
engine damage and may affect
your warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
Notice
Use unleaded Premium fuel only for
the following countries:
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,
Moldova.
Fuel for ethanol adapted
engines (E85) If access to E85 is limited then fuel
with a different proportion of ethanol
or normal RON 95 can be used for
refuelling. The engine's control
management system is adjusted
automatically according to the
amount of ethanol in the fuel.
E85 fuel must fulfil the CWA 15293 or
SS 155480 standard.
When the temperature is about
-10 °C or lower a greater proportion of petrol should be used. E85 in
combination with low temperatures
could lead to the car being more
difficult to start. A slightly higher
proportion of petrol improves the cold start properties considerably.
During the engine's warm-up phase
(below +50 °C) engine torque is
limited when driving with a proportion of ethanol.
Ethanol contains less energy per litre
than petrol, which is why fuel
consumption increases when driving
on E85 compared with petrol. A
consequence of this is that a tank of
E85 covers fewer miles than a tank of petrol.Caution
Certain additives in petrol could, in
combination with ethanol, cause
reduced driveability. For this
reason, refuel with a full tank of
petrol every 6,000 miles. Use up
the majority of this before
refuelling the vehicle again.
Fuel for diesel engines
Only use diesel fuel that complies
with EN 590.
In countries outside the European
Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a
sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply
with EN 590 or similar can lead to engine power loss, increased
wear or engine damage and loss
of warranty.
