Note■The engine running noises may be louder at first for a short time after start-
ing the cold engine.■
You should not switch on any major electrical components during the heat-
ing period, otherwise the vehicle battery will be drained unnecessarily.

After switching off the ignition, the radiator fan may intermittently continue
to run for approx. 10 minutes (also continuously).
Problems with the engine start - vehicles with starter button
Fig. 252
Engine start - hold key on button
Read and observe and on page 199 first.
If no engine start is possible and the display of the instrument cluster shows a message that the key could not be detected by the system or there is a system
fault, then try to start the engine as follows.
›
Push the starter button and then hold the key with the back of it on the but-
ton » Fig. 252 .
If the engine does not start, the help of a specialist garage is required.
CAUTION
The key may not be detected by the system if the battery in the key is running
out of charge or the signal fails (strong electromagnetic field) or is shielded
(e.g. in an aluminium case).START-STOPsystem
 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

Fig. 256
Parking brake operation
Read and observe
on page 203 first.
The electric parking brake (hereinafter referred as a parking brake) replaces the handbrake. This secures the vehicle when stopping and parking against
unwanted movement.
The parking brake can be used when the ignition is on or off.
Switching on
›
Pull the  button in the direction of arrow
1

» Fig. 256 and hold until the

symbol in the button and warning light  illuminate in the instrument clus-
ter.
Automatic shut-off
The parking brake switches off automatically when starting, as long as the
driver's door is closed and the driver has fastened the seat belt.
Should the vehicle start to roll away when starting on a downhill slope, step on
the accelerator or switch on the parking brake.
Turning off the parking brake can be prevented if, before starting, the  but-
ton is pulled and held in the direction of arrow
1
» Fig. 256 . The parking brake
turns off after releasing the button.
Manual shut-down
›
With the ignition switched on , press the brake pedal and at the same time
push the  button in the direction of arrow
2

» Fig. 256 .
›
With the engine running , press either the brake or accelerator pedal and
press the  button in the direction of arrow
2
.
The  symbol in the button and the warning light
 in the instrument cluster
go out.
Emergency braking function
If, while driving, a fault occurs in the brake system, the parking brake can be
used as an emergency brake »
.
›
Pull the 
button in the direction of arrow
1
and » Fig. 256 hold (you hear
an audible signal), the vehicle starts to brake strongly.
The braking process is interrupted when the key is released or the accelerator
pedal is actuated.
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.
Auto Hold function
Fig. 257
The Auto-Hold function button
Read and observe on page 203 first.
The Auto Hold function (hereinafter referred to only as system) prevents the
vehicle from rolling unintentionally when stopped. It is, for example, not nec-
essary to secure the vehicle with the brake pedal or parking brake at traffic
lights. 

Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - OperationRead and observe
and on page 219 first.
At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can
be measured.
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light  in the exterior mirror.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.
Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further
lane.
▶ When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.
▶ Driving around a bend.
The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barriers,
noise barriers or similar objects.
Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - driving situations and
warnings

cates the driving situation
Fig. 274
Driving situation / indicator light in the right outside mirror indi-
cates the driving situation
Read and observe
and on page 219 first.
In the following situations, the indicator light in the outside mirror indicates avehicle in the “blind spot”.
▶ You vehicle
B
is being overtaken by vehicle
A
» Fig. 273 .
▶ Your vehicle
C
overtakes the vehicle
D
at a greater speed of max. 10
km » Fig. 274 . If the speed during the overtaking is even higher, then there is
no warning by the warning light.
The warning display is always in the exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle where a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot”.
The greater the speed difference between the two vehicles, the earlier the
warning (by means of the warning light) regarding the vehicle that is overtak-
ing you takes place.
Two warning levels

light up - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot”.

flash - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot” and the turn signal is
switched on .
An advanced warning for vehicles with Lane Assist

flash also if the steering wheel is turned in the direction of the vehicle in
the “blind spot” . Therefore the Lane Assist » page 243 must be enabled and
the boundary line between the vehicles detected.
If in this case your vehicle indicates crossing the boundary line, with a short vi-
bration of the steering wheel. 
