9 Warning
When refuelling, switch off the
remote control unit as well as the
heater!
The remote control has a maximum
range of 1000 metres. The range may
be reduced due to environmental
conditions and as the battery
becomes weaker.
In addition to a remote control unit,
the heating can also be switched on
for 30 minutes, or off, using the button on the instrument panel.
Battery replacement
Replace the battery when the range
of the remote control is reduced or
when the battery charge symbol
flashes.
Open the cover and replace the
battery (Type A: CR 2430, Type B:
2CR 11108, or equivalent), ensuring
the new battery is correctly installed
with the positive ( <) side facing the
positive terminals. Replace the cover
securely.
Dispose of old batteries in
accordance with environmental
regulations.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.

Traction Control system
The Traction Control system (TC) is a component part of the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP® Plus
) which
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type 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
ignition is switched on and control
indicator b extinguishes in the
instrument cluster. A corresponding
message also appears in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 92.
When TC is active b flashes.9 Warning

Enhanced Traction function
If necessary, in the event of soft
ground, mud or snow-covered road
surfaces, the Traction control system
(TC) can be deactivated to enhance
traction:
Press Ø on the instrument panel.
Control indicator Ø illuminates in the
instrument cluster and a
corresponding message appears in
the DIC 3 92.
When vehicle speed reaches 30 mph, the system switches
automatically from Enhanced
Traction function to TC operation.

again. Control indicator Ø
extinguishes.
TC is also reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
Fault
If the system detects a fault, control
indicator b 3 89 illuminates together
with A 3 87 in the instrument cluster
and a corresponding message
appears in the DIC 3 92.
The Traction control system (TC) is
not operational. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.

Electronic stability program The Electronic Stability Program
(ESP® Plus
) improves driving stability
when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and thewheels are braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery road
surfaces.

Enhanced Traction function
If necessary, in the event of soft
ground, mud or snow-covered road
surfaces, ESP® Plus
can be
deactivated to enhance traction:
Press Ø on the instrument panel.
Driving and operating145The vehicle can be driven normally
but it will not be possible to exceed the
programmed speed limit except in an
emergency.
Where the limit speed cannot be
maintained, e.g. when driving on a
steep decline, the limit speed will
flash in the DIC.
Increase limit speed
The limit speed can be increased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping <
repeatedly.
Reduce limit speed
The limit speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping ]
repeatedly.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency it is possible to exceed the limit speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
The limit speed will flash in the DIC
during this period.Release the accelerator pedal and the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.
Notice
In vehicles fitted with a Speed
limiter, fully depressing the
accelerator pedal will not allow you
to exceed the set maximum vehicle
speed. Speed limiter 3 145.
Deactivation
Press §: speed limiter is deactivated
and the vehicle can be driven
normally.
The limit speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the DIC.
Reactivation
Press R. The speed limiter function is
reactivated.
Pressing < will also reactivate the
speed limiter function, but at the current vehicle speed only, not the
stored speed.
Deleting the limit speed
Press U.Yellow control indicator

extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Speed limiter
Maximum speed limiter
In accordance with local or national
regulations, the vehicle may be
equipped with a fixed maximum
speed limiter that cannot be disabled.
If equipped, a warning label indicating the fixed maximum speed limit (55 to
80 mph) is located on the instrument
panel.
Deviations from the maximum speed
limit may occur briefly when driving
downhill, for physical reasons.
A warning buzzer may sound for
10 seconds if the vehicle briefly
exceeds the set limit.
Vehicles also equipped with cruise
control speed limiter: the maximum
speed cannot be exceeded by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
Cruise control speed limiter 3 142.
Driving and operating147Deactivation
It is possible to deactivate or
temporarily deactivate the system.
Temporary deactivation
Temporarily deactivate the system by
pressing r on the instrument panel
with the ignition on. Control indicator
in the button illuminates.
When reverse gear is selected no
acoustic signal will sound, indicating
deactivation.
The function is reactivated by
pressing r again or the next time
the ignition is switched on.
Permanent deactivation
Permanently deactivate the system
by pressing and holding r on the
instrument panel for approx. 3 seconds with the ignition on. Control
indicator in the button illuminates
continuously.
The system is deactivated and will not
operate. When reverse gear is
selected no acoustic signal will
sound, indicating deactivation.
The function is reactivated by
pressing and holding r for approx.
3 seconds.
Fault
If the system detects an operating
fault, a continuous acoustic alarm will sound for approx. 3 seconds when
selecting reverse gear. Consult a
workshop to have the cause of the
fault remedied.Caution
When reversing, the area should
be free from obstacles which could impact on the underside of the
vehicle.
Impact to the rear axle, which may
not be visible, could lead to
uncharacteristic changes in the
vehicle handling. In the event of
such an impact, consult a
workshop.
Rear view camera
The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing by displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle in
either the interior mirror, the driver's
sun visor or the Infotainment system
display screen.
9 Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
Driving and operating155The pitch of the audible warning will
change if a turn signal light on the
trailer or the towing vehicle fails.
Trailer stability assist If the system detects snaking
movements, engine power is reduced
and the vehicle/trailer combination is
selectively braked until the snaking ceases. While the system is working,keep steering wheel as still as
possible.
Trailer stability assist (TSA) is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) 3 141.Auxiliary features
Power take-off
Activation
To activate the power take-off, with
the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling:
● Set the gearshift lever to neutral (vehicles with manual
