Control of the vehicleNever coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation ( e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 105.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a
system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.Caution
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is
stationary, as this may damage
the power steering pump.
Driving and operating103Starting 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 and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging the
battery.

Autostop
During an Autostop, the engine is restarted automatically by depressing
the clutch pedal.
Vehicles with manual transmission

gear, release brake pedal or move lever to +, – or R to enable an
automatic restart.
Stop-start system 3 105.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to
-25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged battery.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.
Vehicle shutdown
Fuel cut-off system In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message may
also appear in the Driver Information Centre 3 80.
Notice
In addition, the vehicle is
automatically unlocked and the
interior lights are illuminated.
Turn the ignition key to position
STOP to prevent battery discharge
and seek the assistance of a
workshop immediately. Have thevehicle checked for fuel leaks in the
engine compartment, beneath the
vehicle and near the fuel tank.
To reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven:
1. Turn the ignition key to position MAR 3 103
2. Fully actuate the right turn signal light 3 91
3. Deactivate the right turn signal light
4. Fully actuate the left turn signal light
5. Deactivate the left turn signal light
6. Repeat steps 2, 3, 4 and 5.
7. Turn the ignition key to position STOP .9Danger
If you can smell fuel in the vehicle,
or a fuel leak is present, have thecause of this remedied
