Seat position and height
Before mounting a universal child restraint
system, move the front passenger's seat as far
to the rear and as far up as possible to achieve
the best possible routing of the belt and pro‐
tection in the event of an accident.
If the upper attachment point of the seat belt is
located ahead of the child seat's belt guide,
carefully move the front passenger's seat for‐
wards until the best possible belt guidance is
achieve.
Backrest width With adjustable backrest width: before fitting a
child restraint system in the front passenger's
seat, fully open the backrest width. Do not
change the backrest width from this point on
and do not call up a memory position.
ISOFIX child seat mountings
Note
Note for Australia: ISOFIX child seats are not
permitted for road use in Australia at the time
of printing of this handbook. However, also
since a change of the respective regulations is
expected in the future, lower ISOFIX ancho‐rages are supplied in line with applicable ADRs
also for Australia.
Comply with the operating and safety instruc‐
tions from the manufacturer of the child re‐
straint system when attaching and using ISO‐

electronic systems.
Notes
When the ignition is switched off, selector
lever position P will be automatically engaged,
if selector lever position D or R is engaged.
With the vehicle stationary and the engine shut
down, the ignition is switched off automatically
under the following circumstances:▷When locking, even with the low-beam
headlights switched on.▷Shortly before the battery is discharged so
that an engine start remains possible.▷When opening or closing the driver's door,
if the driver's belt is unfastened and the
low-beam headlights are switched off.▷When the driver's belt is unfastened, if the
driver's door is opened and the low-beam
headlights switched off.
After about 15 minutes without further opera‐
tion, low-beam headlights are changed over to
side lights.
Radio ready state
Activate radio ready state: when the engine is
running, press the start/stop button.
Individual electrical systems remain opera‐
tional.
The radio ready sate is automatically switched
off in the following situations:
Seite 65DrivingControls65

▷After approximately eight minutes.▷When locking via the central locking sys‐
tem.▷Shortly before the battery is discharged so
that an engine start remains possible.
Radio readiness remains active when ignition
is switched off automatically, such as for
following reasons:
▷Opening or closing driver's door.▷Unfastening driver's seat belt.▷When low-beam headlights are automati‐
cally changed to side lights.
If engine is switched off and ignition is
switched on, radio ready state will be automati‐
cally activated when door is opened if light is
switched off or daytime driving lights are
switched on, when corresponding equipment
is fitted.
Engine start Notes DANGER
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate
ventilation can allow harmful exhaust fumes to
penetrate the vehicle. The exhaust gas con‐
tains carbon monoxide, which is colourless and
odourless, but highly toxic. In enclosed spaces,
the exhaust fumes can also build up outside
the vehicle. Danger of fatal injury. Keep the ex‐
haust pipe clear and ensure sufficient ventila‐
tion.◀
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can start moving
and rolling away. Danger of accidents. Before
leaving the vehicle, secure it to prevent rolling
away.
Observe the following to ensure that the vehi‐
cle is secured against rolling away:
▷Engage the parking brake.▷Turn the front wheels into the direction of
the kerb on upward or downward gradi‐
ents.▷Additionally secure the vehicle on upward
or downward gradients, e.g. using a
wedge.◀
ATTENTION
Repeated start attempts or starting sev‐
eral times in quick succession means that fuel
is not combusted, or insufficiently so. The cat‐
alytic converter can overheat. Danger of dam‐
age to property. Avoid starting more than once
in quick succession.◀

M double clutch
transmission with Drivelogic
General The M double clutch transmission with Drive‐
logic is an automated manual gearbox with two
clutches and partial gears, by which the gears
are changed without interrupting traction.
It is operated using the selector lever or two
paddles on the steering wheel.
Functions▷Drive mode or sequential mode.▷Various drive programs, Drivelogic.▷Shift Lights, see page 96▷Automatic downshift and protection
against shifting even in sequential mode.▷Launch Control.▷Low Speed Assistant.
Selector lever, selector lever position
Overview
▷R: reverse.▷N: neutral, idling.▷ Centre position, forward setting.▷+: manually change up.▷-: manually change down.▷D/S: change between drive mode and se‐
quential mode.
Engaging selector lever position
Press the brake pedal and push or pull the se‐
lector lever in the appropriate direction.
As soon as the selector lever is released, it re‐
turns to the central position. The selector lever
engages into position R.
The engaged selector lever position is shown
in the instrument cluster and on the selector
lever.
After a selector lever position has been en‐
gaged, the vehicle can roll away when the
brake is released, for example on a downhill
slope. As a result, drive away immediately after
releasing the brake.
Use the Low Speed Assistant when manoeu‐
vring or in stop-and-go traffic.
Low Speed Assistant
Principle
The Low Speed Assistant provides support at
very low speeds. The vehicle drives at walking
pace.
Can also be used for rocking out on snow. To
do that, shift between reverse gear and for‐
ward position, without apply the brakes.
Note ATTENTION
The transmission can overhead when us‐
ing the function and depressing the brake
pedal at the same time for an extended time.
Danger of damage to property. Do not brake
for an extended time when using the func‐
tion.◀

Activating1.Engage a drive position.2.Briefly tap on the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle rolls at minimum speed.
This is possible in 1st and 2nd gear and in re‐
verse.
Deactivating
Brake the vehicle until it comes to a stop.
Flashing display on selector lever of
double clutch transmission
In some situations, the actually engaged gear‐
box setting may be different from the selector
lever position, and the display in the selector
lever flashes.
In these cases, refer to the display in the in‐
strument cluster, see page 75.
D Drive mode
In drive mode, all forward gears are automati‐ cally changed.
Kick-down: for maximum acceleration, for ex‐
ample, when overtaking. To do that, depress
the accelerator pedal beyond the resistance
point.
Change to sequential mode: shift using the
shift paddles or push the selector lever in the
D/S direction.
S sequential mode Change up or change down using the shift
paddle or selector lever without coming off the
gas.
▷Shortly before a minimum speed depend‐
ing on the gear, it automatically down‐
shifts.▷The gears are only shifted up or down with
the appropriate engine speed and road
speed.
For example, there is no downshift at too
high an engine speed.▷Kick-down: by operating the kick-down
and the left shift paddle or selector lever at
the same time, you can change down to
the lowest possible gear.▷Driving off is possible even in 2nd gear on a
level carriageway, for example, when it is
smooth.
To change to Drive mode: press selector lever
in the D/S direction.
R Reverse Engage this position only when the vehicle is
stationary.
For rocking out, even up to 10 km/h, approxi‐
mately 6 mph is possible. To do that, shift be‐
tween forward and reverse gear without apply‐
ing the brakes.
N Neutral, idling Select this in a car wash, for example. The ve‐
hicle will then be able to move, see page 208.
P Park The driven wheels are locked.
Transmission position P is engaged automati‐
cally:
