Low beam control indicator 9 3 89.

98LightingHeadlights when drivingabroad
The asymmetrical headlight beam
extends visibility at the edge of the
road at the passenger side.
However, when driving in countries
where traffic drives on the opposite
side of the road, adjust the headlights to prevent dazzling of oncoming
traffic.
Adjustment
Open the bonnet 3 146 and identify
the marking (shown in the illustration)
beside each of the headlights.
For each headlight:
Using a screwdriver, turn the screw
by a 1
/4 turn towards the
] symbol to
lower the beams or towards the <
symbol to raise the beams.
Ensure the headlight beams are
returned to their original positions
when required.
Daytime running lights
Daytime running lights increase
visibility of the vehicle during daylight.
They are switched on automatically
when the ignition is switched on.
If required, the daytime running lights can be deactivated via the
Infotainment system. For further
information, refer to Infotainment
system manual.
Automatic light control 3 97.Adaptive forward lighting
Cornering light
With the low beam switched on,
depending on the steering angle,
vehicle speed and gear selected
when cornering, the front fog light will also switch on, to illuminate the
corner of the road on the respective
side.
Hazard warning flashers
Operated with the ¨ button.

Lighting99In the event of hard braking, the
hazard warning flashers may turn on automatically. Switch off by pressing
the ¨ button.
Turn and lane-change signalslever up:right turn signallever down:left turn signal
Turn and lane-change signals are
operational when engine is running
and during an Autostop.
When the steering wheel is turned
back, the lever automatically returns
to its original position and the turn
signal is deactivated. This will not
happen when making a minor
steering manoeuvre such as lane
changing.
For three flashes, e.g. when changing lanes, move lever part way to first
stop and then release.
If the lever is moved past the first stop, the turn signal is switched on
constantly. Switch the turn signal off
manually by moving the lever to its
original position.
Front fog lights
Turn inner switch to position >.
Front fog lights will only operate when
the ignition and headlights are
switched on.
Rear fog lights
Turn inner switch to position ø.
Rear fog light comes on together with front fog lights and will only operate
when the ignition and headlights are
switched on.
Reversing lights The reversing lights come on when
the ignition is on and reverse gear is
selected.
Misted light covers
The inside of the light covers may mist up briefly in poor, wet and cold
weather conditions, in heavy rain or
after washing. The mist disappears
quickly by itself; to help, switch on the headlights.

automatically deactivated.
Stop-start system 3 119.
Vehicle shutdown
Fuel cut-off system
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the fuel
system is cut-off and must be reset
after refuelling. A corresponding
warning message may also appear in
the Driver Information Centre (DIC)3 90.9 Danger
If you can smell fuel in the vehicle,
or a fuel leak is present, have thecause of this remedied
immediately by a workshop. Do
not reset the fuel cut-off system, to avoid the risk of fire.
Resetting with remote control
key / manual key
To reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven:
1. Turn the ignition key to position 2
3 116.
2. Wait a few minutes to allow the fuel system to be reset.
3. Turn key to position 3 to start the
engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the
procedure.
Resetting with electronic key
system
To reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven:
1. Insert the electronic key in the card reader 3 116.
2. Press START/STOP without
depressing any pedals.
3. Wait a few minutes to allow the fuel system to be reset.

Refuelling 3 141.
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 restarts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch
pedal is depressed.
A vehicle battery sensor ensures that
an Autostop is only performed if the
vehicle battery is sufficiently charged
for a restart.

Driving and operating129Control indicator R 3 86.
Vehicle messages 3 91.
Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure
as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting-off, the system performs a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 87.
Fault
If control indicator u does not go out
a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, or if it illuminates whiledriving, there is a fault in the ABS.
Control indicator F 3 86 may also
illuminate in the instrument cluster together with a corresponding
message in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC). The brake system
remains operational but without ABS
regulation.9 Warning
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.
If control indicators u, F , R 3 86
and C 3 86 illuminate, there is a fault
in the braking system. A
corresponding message also
appears in the DIC 3 90. Have the
cause of the fault remedied by a
workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 91.
Parking brake9 Warning
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
brake pedal at the same time.

146Vehicle careVehicle checks
Performing work9 Warning
Only perform engine compartment
checks when the ignition is off.
The cooling fan may start
operating even if the ignition is off.
9 Danger
The ignition system generates
extremely high voltages. Do not
touch.
The caps for topping up the engine oil, the coolant, the washer fluid and the
oil dipstick handle are yellow for ease
of identification.
Bonnet
Opening
Pull the release lever and return it to
its original position.
Move the safety catch (located

automatically by a lifter.
If the bonnet is opened during an
Autostop, the engine will be restarted automatically for safety reasons.
Stop-start system 3 119.
Closing
Lower the bonnet and allow it to fall
into the latch from a low height
(approx. 30 cm). Check that the
bonnet is engaged.
