Notice
Changes to the vehicle interior, e.g.
the use of seat covers, and open
windows, could impair the function
of passenger compartment
monitoring.
Deactivation
Unlocking the vehicle or switching on
the ignition deactivates the anti-theft
alarm system. Hazard warning lights
flash once to confirm deactivation.
Notice
If the alarm has been triggered,
unlocking the vehicle with the key
will not stop the alarm siren. To stop the siren, switch on the ignition. The
hazard warning lights will not flash
upon deactivation if the alarm has
been triggered.
Activation without monitoring of

Alarm
When triggered, the alarm sounds via a separate battery-backed power
sounder, and the hazard warning
lights flash simultaneously. The
number and duration of alarm signals
are stipulated by legislation.
If the vehicle battery is disconnected
or its power supply is interrupted, the
alarm siren will be triggered. First
deactivate the anti-theft alarm system if the vehicle battery must be
disconnected.
To silence the alarm siren (if
triggered) and therefore deactivate
the anti-theft alarm system, reconnect vehicle battery and unlock vehicle
with remote control button c (or
switch on the ignition).
Immobiliser
The system is part of the ignition
switch and checks whether the
vehicle is allowed to be started with
the key being used.

Driving and operating123
An Autostop is indicated when Ï
illuminates green in the instrument
cluster.
During an Autostop, the heating
performance, power steering and brake performance will be
maintained. Brake assist, however, is
not available 3 139.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled,
otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited and control indicator \ will
illuminate in the instrument cluster.
● the stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened
● the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high
● the ambient temperature is not too low
● the defrosting function is not activated
● the climate control system does not inhibit an Autostop
● the brake vacuum is sufficient ● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.An Autostop may become
unavailable as the ambient
temperature approaches freezing
point.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may also inhibit an Autostop.
See "Climate control" chapter for
further information 3 105.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
Autostop may also be inhibited
temporarily if the vehicle battery has
been recharged by an external
source.
New vehicle running-in 3 120.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
Restart of the engine by the driver
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.

124Driving and operatingIf the selector lever has been shifted
out of neutral (manual transmission) or N (manual transmission
automated) or other conditions are
not met, start using the ignition key.
The green control indicator Ï will
extinguish in the instrument cluster
when the engine is restarted.
If the selector lever is shifted out of
neutral (manual transmission) or N
(manual transmission automated)
before depressing the clutch first, a
restart will not take place.
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
The selector lever must be in neutral
(manual transmission) or N (manual
transmission automated) to enable an
automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system. Control
indicator Ï will flash green in the
instrument cluster during an
automatic engine restart.● the stop-start system is manually
deactivated
● the bonnet is opened
● the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door
is opened
● the engine temperature is too low
● the vehicle battery is discharged
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the vehicle starts to move
● the defrosting function is activated
● the climate control system requests an engine start
● the predetermined timing has been exceeded
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.
If the Infotainment system is active,
audio sound may briefly be reduced
or interrupted during the restart.
Warning chimes 3 93.Fault
If control indicator Ï illuminates
yellow, there is a fault in the stop-start
system 3 90. A corresponding
message also appears in the DIC
3 92. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply parking brake without pressing release
button. Apply as firmly as
