-Never select R or P while driving, because
this increases the risk of an accident.
- Power
is still transmitted to the wheels
when
the engine is running at idle. To pre­
vent
the vehicle from "creeping", you must
keep your foot on the brake in all selector
lever positions (except
P) when the engine is
runn ing. Otherwise,
this increases the risk
of an accident.
-
Do not i nadvertently press the accelerator
peda l when
the veh icle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the par king brake
is set. This coul d result in a crash.
-
Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing
the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
- Never leave
your vehicle with t he engine
running wh
ile in gear. If you must leave

CD Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the N position,
because
this could damage the automatic
transmission and cata l
ytic converter .
@ Tips
-Drive select: sporty shifting character istics
can
be selected using the Dynamic driving
mode. The
Infotainment display shows Sas
the selector lever position instead of D.
-If you accidentally select N while driving,
take your
foot off the accelerator pedal im­
mediately and
wait for the engine to slow
down
to idle before selecting D or S.
-If there is a powe r failure, the sel ector lever
will not move out of the P position. The
Automatic tran smission
emergency release can be used if this hap ­
pens. Left-hand drive vehicles

(2
km/h). At higher speeds, th e lock is automati­
cally deactivated in
the N pos ition.
The selector lever
is not locked when shifting
quickly through N, for example from R to D. This
makes
it possible to free the veh icle when it is
stuck by "rocking" it . The selector lever lock en­

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Starting on a hill
.. Set the parking brake.
.. With the driving gear selected, press the accel­
erator pedal carefully. The parking brake will
re l
ease automatically if your safety belt is fas­
tened.
Under certain circumstances, such as driving in
the mountains, it may be useful to switch tempo­
rarily
to the manual shift program in order to
manually adjust the gears to the driving condi­
tions¢ page 68.
When parking on a level surface, simply place the
selector lever in the P position. On inclines, acti­
vate the parking brake first and then move the
selector lever to the P position ¢ page 61. This
prevents the loc kin g mechanism from being
loaded too heavily and will make it easier to
move the selector lever out of the P position.
A WARNING
-The vehicle can roll even when the engine is
switched off.
-Unintended vehicle movement can lead to
serious injuri es.
- Never leave
your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running , set
the parking brake and move the selector lev­
er to the P position.
- Power is still
transferred to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To pre­
vent the ve hicle from "creeping", you must
keep your foot on the brake when the en­
gine is running and the selector lever is in
the D, Sor R position or "tiptronic" mode is
selected.
-Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stationary. Other­
wise the vehicle will start to move immedi­
ately, even if the parking brake is set. T his
could resu
lt in a crash.
-
Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running .
Automatic transmission
-Never engage the R or P selector level posi­
tions while driving. It could cause a crash .
- Before driving
down a steep slope, reduce
your speed and shift into a lower gear with
"ti ptronic".
-Do not ride the brakes or press the brake
pedal too often or too long when driving
down a hill. Constant braking causes the
brakes to overheat and substantially re­
duces braking performance, increases brak­
ing
distance or causes complete failure of
the brake system.
-If you must stop on an incline, always hold
the vehicle in place with the foot brake or
parking brake to prevent it from rolling
back.
- N
ever hold the vehicle on an incline with a
slipping clutch. The
clutch opens automati­
cally when it becomes too hot from the
overload. The mJ indicator light turns on
and a message appears¢ page 70 when
the clutch is overloaded.
-If the engine must run while you are work­
ing
in the engine compartment with the
hood open, make sure a gear is not engag­
ed. The selector lever must be firmly in the
P position and loc ked in place and the park­
ing brake must be set¢ page 236. Other­
wise, the vehicle could begin moving when
increasing the engine speed, even with the
parking brake set.
@Note
-When stopping on an incline, do not try to
hold the veh icle in place by pressing the ac­
celerator pedal while a driving gear is se­
lected. This can cause the automatic trans­
mission to overheat and can damage it. Ac­
tivate the parking brake or press the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
- Allowing
the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped and the selector lever is in the N
position will
damage the automatic trans­
mission because it is not lubricated under
those circumstances.

- Never open the cap on the coolant expan­
sion
tank when the engine is warm. The
cooling
system is under pressure.
-To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
large cloth when opening.
-Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances. This increases the risk of
burns.
-
If tests need to be performed with the en­
gine running, there is additional danger due
to moving components (such as the ribbed
belt, alternator and radiator fan) and from
the high voltage ignition system.
-Do not under any circumstances give gas in­
advertently (for example, by hand from the
engine compartment) if the vehicle is sta­
tionary but the engine is running and a gear
is engaged. Otherwise the veh icle will start
to move immediately and could result in a
crash.
-
Pay attention to the following warnings list­
ed when work on the fuel system or on the
electrical equipment is required.
- Always
disconnect the vehicle battery
from the vehicle electrical system.
-Do not smoke.
-Never work near open flames.
