the warning light lights up in the display variant 1 and 2 or the symbol  flashes
in the display variant 3 for 10 seconds  together with the remaining segments
of the display. There are now about 4 litres of fuel in the tank.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
WARNINGIn order for the vehicle systems to function properly and thus to make driv-
ing safe, there must be sufficient fuel in the tank. Never drive until the fuel
tank is completely empty - there is a risk of accidents!
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! Irregular supply of fuel can
cause misfiring, which can result in damage to parts of the engine and the ex-
haust system.

Natural gas reserve
The capacity of the gasoline fuel tank is approximately 10 litres. The capacity
of the natural gas fuel tank is approximately 11 kg.
If the fuel level in the fuel tank reaches the reserve area for petrol, the warn-
ing light  lights up in the display. There are now about 5 litres of fuel in the
tank.
If the fuel level in the fuel tank reaches the reserve area for natural gas the

The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate the status of certain
functions or the presence of faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster if required.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test. If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights extin-
guishes for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the
engine.
WARNING■ Ignoring light-up indicator lamps in the instrument cluster and the control
symbols in the display may cause serious injury or damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard
warning light system » page 52. Place the warning triangle at the prescri-
bed distance.

123Do not switch the engine off immediately at the end of your journey if the en-
gine has been working at high revs over a prolonged period, but leave it to run
at an idling speed for about 1 minute. This prevents any possible accumulation
of heat when the engine is switched off.
Note
After switching off the ignition, the radiator fan may (also intermittently) con-
tinue to operate for approx. 10 minutes.
START-STOPsystem
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
97
Manually deactivating/activating the system
97
The START-STOPsystem (hereinafter referred to as: the system) reduces CO 2emissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel.
If the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops
(e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it again when mov-
ing off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, the others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
Therefore the system may react differently in situations which seem identi-
cal from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even where this has previously been manually deactivated with the button
 ).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains on.96Driving

OperationFig. 118
Display
Vehicles with manual transmission
The engine is automatically switched offas soon as the vehicle comes to a halt,
the shift lever is moved into neutral and the clutch pedal is released.
The engine is automatically startedas soon as the clutch pedal is depressed.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
The engine is automatically switched offas soon as the vehicle comes to a
standstill and the brake pedal is operated.
The engine is automatically startedas soon as the brake pedal is released.
Requirements for the system to function correctly
The following conditions must be met for the system to function correctly.
The driver's door is closed.
The driver has fastened the seat belt.
The bonnet is closed.
The driving speed was higher than 4 km/h after the last stop.
System status
The system status is shown in the display when the vehicle comes to a halt
» Fig. 118 .
The engine is automatically switched off; when the vehicle moves off the
ignition process will be automatically initiated.
The engine is not automatically switched off.
The engine does not shut down when the vehicle stops, if e.g. the following
applies.
▶ The engine temperature for the proper function of the system has not yet
been reached.
▶ The charge state of the vehicle battery is too low.
▶
The current consumption is too high.
▶ High air conditioning or heating output (high fan speed, big difference be-
tween the desired and actual interior temperature).
If the engine has shut down automatically but the system detects that the en-
gine is required to run (e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly) then the
system automatically starts up the engine.
Note
■ If the driver's seat belt is removed for more than 30 seconds or the driver's
door is opened after the engine has switched off automatically, the engine will
have to be restarted manually.■
No automatic engine shut-down takes place when a vehicle with automatic
transmission is moving at low speed (e.g. during a traffic jam) and remains sta-
tionary after pressing the brake pedal lightly. Automatic engine shutdown
takes place if you press the brake pedal down with more force.
■
For vehicles with automatic transmission there is no automatic engine shut-
down when the system detects a manoeuvring action due to a large steering
angle.
Manually deactivating/activating the system

If the system is turned off, it will be automatically reactivated after turning the
ignition off and on.
Note
If the system is deactivated when the engine is turned off automatically, then
the automatic start process takes place.97Starting-off and Driving
