Route guidance
Introduction to the subject
A route is created by starting route guidance to a destination. Additional inter-
mediate destinations can be added to the route.
The route guidance takes place as follows
▶ Through graphical driving instructions in the Infotainment display screen and
in the display of the instrument cluster.
▶ With navigation announcements.
Infotainment tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data
is incomplete or there is no data at all for the given area.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route.
CAUTION
The nav. announcements provided may vary from the actual situations, e.g.
due to out-of-date navigation data.

 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
201
Manually disable / enable system
202
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
or is at a standstill (e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it
again when moving off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, while others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
For this reason, the system may react differently in situations which seem
identical from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even when it has previously been manually deactivated with the  button).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains switched on.
Operation
Fig. 253
Display
Vehicles with manual transmission
The engine is automatically switched off as 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 started as soon as the clutch pedal is depressed. 
201Starting-off and Driving

Vehicles with automatic transmission
The engine is automatically switched off as soon as the vehicle comes to a
halt and the brake pedal is operated.
The engine is automatically started as soon as the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed or the brake pedal is released (with deactivated Auto Hold function).
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 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. 253 .
The engine is switched off automatically; when moving off, the ignition
process will be initiated automatically.
The engine is not switched off automatically.
When stopping, the engine will not switch off for the following reasons,
among others. ▶ 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 blower speed, big difference be-
tween the desired and actual interior temperature).
If the engine is shut down automatically and the system detects that the en- gine is required, such as when the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly, then the
system automatically starts the engine.
More information about the current system status can be displayed on the In-
fotainment screen in the menu 

If there is a system fault , the following message will appear in the display of
the instrument cluster. Seek help from a specialist garage.
Note■ If the driver's seat belt is removed for more than approx. 30 seconds or the
driver's door is opened during automatic stop mode, the engine will have to be
started 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 shut-down
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.

Brakes and Parking
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Electric parking brake

Parking
205
The wear of the brake pads is dependent on the operating conditions and driv-
ing style. Under difficult conditions (e.g. urban, sporty driving style) the condi-
tion of the brakes should also be checked by a specialist garage between the
service intervals.
The performance of the brakes can be delayed if the brakes are damp, iced up
in winter or if covered in a layer of salt . The brakes are cleaned and dried by
applying the brakes several times »
.
Corrosion on the brake discs and dirt on the brake pads occur if the vehicle has
been parked for a long period and if you do not make much use of the braking
system. The brakes are cleaned by applying the brakes several times »
.
Before travelling a long distance with a steep gradient , reduce speed and
shift into the next lowest gear. As a result, the braking effect of the engine will
be used, reducing the load on the brakes. If you do have to brake, this should
be carried out at intervals.
Emergency braking display - when an emergency braking is performed, the
automatic flashing of the brake lights are used to alert the traffic behind.
New brake pads must first be “worn in” because these do not initially have the
best possible braking effect. Drive especially carefully for the first 200 km or
so.
A too low brake fluid level can cause faults in the braking system , the warn-
ing light  illuminates in the instrument cluster
» page 35,
 Brake system
. If
the warning light does not illuminate and an extended stopping distance is re-
quired, then driving should be adapted according to the unknown cause of
fault and restricted braking effect - seek the assistance of a specialist garage
immediately.
The brake booster increases the pressure generated with the brake pedal. The
brake booster only operates when the engine is running.
WARNING■ Greater physical effort is required for braking when the engine is switch-
ed off – risk of accident!■
During the braking procedure on a vehicle with manual transmission,
when the vehicle is in gear and at low revs, press the clutch pedal. Other-
wise, the functionality of the brake system may be impaired – risk of acci-
dent!
■
Do not press the brake pedal if braking is now required. This causes the
brakes to overheat and can also result in a longer braking distance and ex-
cessive wear - risk of accident!
■
Braking for the purpose of drying and cleaning the brake discs should be
carried out only if the traffic conditions permit. Do not place any other road
users in jeopardy.
■
Recommendations for new brake pads have to be observed.
■
When stopping and parking, the parking brake should always be on, oth-
erwise the vehicle could move off - there is the risk of an accident!
■
If a front spoiler, full wheel trim, etc. is mounted retrospectively, it must
be ensured that the air supply to the front wheel brakes is not reduced.
Otherwise, the functionality of the brake system may be impaired – risk of
accident!

WARNING■ The emergency brake is to be used only in an emergency when the vehi-
cle cannot be stopped with the brake pedal.■
Do not place any objects in the recessed grip for the finger in front of the
parking brake key - the parking brake button could be blocked!
Note
■ If the vehicle battery is discharged, it is not possible to release the parking
brake. First connect the vehicle first to a power source, such as the battery of
another vehicle » page 287, Jump-starting and then turn off the parking
brake.■
Noise when switching on and off the parking brake is normal and therefore
harmless.
