Adjust reduced opening height in
intermediate mode
1. Turn operation mode switch to 3/4 .
2. Open power tailgate with any operation switch.
3. Stop movement at the desired height by pressing any operation
switch. If required, manually move
the stopped tailgate to the desired
position.
4. Press and hold the button on the
inside of the open tailgate for
3 seconds.
Notice
Adjusting opening height should be
programmed at ground level.
A chime sound indicates the new
setting and the outer rear lights will
flash if the tailgate is below an
opening angel of 30°.
When turning the adjuster wheel in
the driver's door to intermediate mode 3/4 , the power tailgate will stop
opening at the newly set position.
The tailgate can only be held open if a minimum height is exceeded
(minimum opening angle from 30°).
The opening height cannot be
programmed below that height.
Safety function
If the power tailgate encounters an
obstacle during opening or closing,
the direction of movement will
automatically be reversed slightly.
Multiple obstacles in one power cycle
will deactivate the function. In this
case, close or open the tailgate
manually.The power tailgate has pinch sensors
on the side edges. If the sensors
detect obstacles between tailgate and chassis, the tailgate will open, until it
is activated again or closed manually.
The safety function is indicated by a
warning chime.
Remove all obstacles before
resuming normal power operation.
If the vehicle is equipped with factory- fitted towing equipment and a trailer
is electrically connected, the power
tailgate can only be opened with the
touchpad switch or closed with button
G in the open tailgate. Ensure that
there are no obstacles in the moving
area.

When the vehicle battery voltage is running low, a warning message will
appear in the Driver Information
Centre.
1. Switch off any electrical consumers which are not requiredfor a safe ride, e.g. seat heating,
heated rear window or other main consumers.
2. Charge the vehicle battery by driving continuously for a while or
by using a charging device.
The warning message will disappear
after the engine has been started
twice without a voltage drop.
If the vehicle battery cannot be
recharged, have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.Vehicle personalisation
The vehicle's behaviour can be
personalised by changing the settings
in the Colour-Info-Display.
Some of the personal settings for
different drivers can be memorised
individually for each vehicle key.
Memorised settings 3 22.
Depending on vehicle equipment and
country-specific regulations some of
the functions described below might
not be available.
Some functions are only displayed or
active when the engine is running.
Personal settings Following the changing of personal
settings is described via the buttons
below the display. This is valid for
4.2'' as well as 8'' Colour-Info-Display.
Additionally the 8'' display is operable
as a touchscreen and with the
touchpad between the front seats. See description Colour-Info-Display
3 117 and the Infotainment system
manual.

Lighting131
Fault in Adaptive forward
lighting system When the system detects a failure in
the Adaptive forward lighting system,
the system moves to a preset position to avoid dazzling of oncoming traffic.
If this is not possible, the affected
headlight will be automatically
switched off. In any case, one
headlight will stay on. A warning is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
Hazard warning flashers
Operated with the ¨ button.
In the event of an accident with airbag
deployment the hazard warning
flashers are activated automatically.
Turn and lane-change

If the lever is moved past the
resistance point, the turn signal is
switched on constantly. When the
steering wheel moves back, the turn
signal is automatically deactivated.
For three flashes, e.g. when changing lanes, press the lever until resistance
is felt and then release.
With a trailer connected, turn signal
flashes six times when pressing the
lever until resistance is felt and then
releasing.
Move the lever to the resistance point
and hold for longer indication.
Switch the turn signal off manually by moving the lever to its original

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 3 156.
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.
Control indicator c 3 106.Caution
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and
is held in that position for more
than 15 seconds, damage may occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.

166Driving and operating
Fault9Warning
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
Manual parking brake
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.
To reduce the operating forces of the
parking brake, depress the foot brake
at the same time.
Control indicator R 3 105.
Electric parking brake
Applying when vehicle is stationary
Pull switch m for approx.
one second, the electric parking
brake operates automatically with an adequate force. For maximum force,
e.g. parking with trailer or on inclines,
pull switch m twice.
The electric parking brake is applied
when control indicator m lights up
3 105.
The electric parking brake can always
be activated, even if the ignition is off.

Driving and operating181
■ Adaptive cruise control does notbrake for pedestrians, animals,
very slow speed driving or stopped
vehicles.
■ Don't use adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.
Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a
future bend change. The system may lose the current vehicle ahead or
consider a vehicle which is not in the
actual lane. This can happen when
entering or exiting a bend or if the
bend gets stronger or weaker. If it no
longer detects any vehicle ahead,
then control indicator A will
extinguish.
If the centrifugal force is too high in a bend, the system slows down the vehicle slightly. This braking level is
not designed to avoid spinning-off the
bend. The driver is responsible for
reducing the selected speed before
entering a bend and in general to
adapt the speed to the road type and
to existing speed limits.
Motorways
On motorways, adapt the set speed
to the situation and the weather.
Always consider that adaptive cruise
control has a limited visibility range, a
limited braking level and a certain
reaction time to verify if a vehicle is on
the driving path or not. Adaptive
cruise control may not be able to
brake the vehicle in time to avoid a
collision with a much slower vehicle or after a lane change. This is
particularly true if driving fast or if the
visibility is reduced due to weather
conditions.
While entering or exiting a motorway,
adaptive cruise control may lose the
vehicle ahead and accelerate up to
the set speed. For this reason,
decrease the set speed before the
exit or before the entry.
Vehicle path changes
If another vehicle enters your driving
path, adaptive cruise control will first
consider the vehicle when it is
completely in your path. Be ready to
take action and press the brake
pedal, if you need to brake more
quickly.
