the next higher gear is delayed until the engine
reaches maximum rpm.
A WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slippery
or wet, the kick-down feature could cause the
driving wheels to spin, which could result in
skidding.
Coast ing mode
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
In coasting mode, you can use the vehicle's kinet
ic energy to drive without using the accelerator
on certain stretches of road. This saves fuel by al
lowing you to take your foot off the accelerator
earlier and let the vehicle coast (for instance
when approaching a speed restriction in a built
up area).
Switching on coa sting mode
Important: Selector lever must be in D, gradient
must be less than 12 %.
� Select efficiency mode in drive select*
¢page 100 (you only have to do this once).
� Take your foot off the accelerator.
If you have selected the "on-board computer"
display, the message Coasting mode will then
appear. The gearbox automatically disengages
the clutch at speeds above 20 km/h and lets the
vehicle coast without the engine braking effect.
The engine ticks over at idling speed while the ve
hicle is coasting.
Stopping coasting mode
� Press the brake pedal or accelerator.
To use the engine braking effect and overrun fuel
cut-off again, all you need to do is tap the brake
pedal briefly.
You can improve your fuel economy and help to
reduce emissions by using a combination of the
coa sting mode (i.e. coasting with low fuel con-

on a longer stretch of road) and the
overrun fuel cut-off (i.e. using the engine brak
ing effect with no fuel consumption on a shorter
stretch of road).
A WARNING
- If you are approaching an obstruction when
coasting mode is switched on, please re
member that the vehicle will not slow down
as quickly as usual when you take your foot
off the accelerator -risk of accident!
- The vehicle can pick up speed if you are driv
ing down a slope in coasting mode -risk of
accident!
- If other people are using your car, you
should draw their attention to the coasting
mode.
ijJ) Note
- Coasting mode is only available in efficien
cy* mode (drive select*).
- The message Coasting mode only appears
when the current fuel consumption display
is selected. The gear is no longer displayed
when you are in coasting mode (e.g. E in
stead of E6).
- The coasting mode is deactivated tempora
rily on gradients of 15 % or greater.
Launch control programme
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The launch control programme enables maxi
mum acceleration.
Important: The engine must be warm and the
steering wheel must be pointing straight ahead.

your foot on the accelerator -this will over
ride the cruise control system which, as a re
sult, will not brake the vehicle.

@ Note
- Vehicles with manual gearbox: The set
speed cannot be reached if the currently se
lected gear is too high or too low or if the
engine would overrev or fail to run smoothly
at the target speed. Make sure to change up
or down a gear in good time.
- The brake lights come on when the system
brakes the vehicle.
Adjusting the speed

Overriding the set speed
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
You can use the accelerator pedal to increase
speed in the normal way, for example to overtake
another vehicle. Once you release the accelera
tor, the system will revert to the speed you stor
ed initially.

CX) Notes
on towing vehicles
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or tow
rope. When the engine is not running, the gear
box will not be adequately lubricated if the fol
lowing speed/distance restrictions are not ob
served:
- The vehicle must not be towed faster than
SO km/h.
- The vehicle must not be towed further than
SO km.
Additional notes on towing by breakdown
truck
If one of the axles has to be raised in order to
tow the vehicle, please refer to the following ta
ble to determine the appropriate axle for your
gearbox/drive combination:
Front -wheel
Four-wheel
drive drive
Manual Front
or rear Front or rear
gearbox axle
axle
Automatic Front axle Front
axle
gearbox
Four-wheel drive: If the vehicle is to be towed
with one of the axles raised, the ignition must be
switched off; otherwise the drive train can be
damaged.
Additional notes on towing by breakdown
truck
The vehicle must not be towed with the wheels
lifted at either the front or rear.
Notes on tow-starting
Automatic gearbox: For technical reasons, your
vehicle must not be tow-started.
Manual gearbox: As a general rule, tow-starting
is not recommended. If the engine will not start,
it is best to try starting it using the battery of an
other vehicle ¢ page 2 77 before attempting to
tow start. If this is not possible, you can try to
push-start or tow-start the vehicle ¢ page 280,
Tow-starting. Mobility
& WARNING
There is a high risk of accidents when towing/
tow-starting, as the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle.
CD CAUTION
- If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as de
scribed above (e.g. due to a gearbox failure
or if the vehicle has to be towed further
than SO km), it must be transported on a
special car transporter or trailer.
- Towing a vehicle with the wrong axle raised
can cause serious damage to the gearbox.
Note
- Automatic gearbox: It is not possible to
move the selector lever out of position P if
the electrical power supply fails. Before the
vehicle can be recovered/manoeuvred you
must manually release the selector lever
¢page 84.
- Please observe the relevant regulations
when towing or tow-starting.
Towing away
Please observe the important safety warnings on
¢page 278.
Preparat ions
.,. Attach the tow-rope or the tow-bar only to the
towing anchorages provided for this purpose
¢page 280, ¢page 281 .
.,. Please ensure that the tow-rope is not twisted
as it could otherwise unscrew the towline an
chorage while the vehicle is being towed.
.,. The hazard warning lights of both vehicles
must normally be switched on¢ page 47. How
ever, observe any regulations to the contrary.
Towing vehicle (front}
.,. Ensure that the tow-rope is taut before you
drive off.
.,. Engage the clutch very gently when starting to
move (manual gearbox) and press the accelera
tor slowly.
.,. Avoid unnecessary braking and manoeuvres.
