Transmission positions
0045Park position
This prevents the vehicle from
rolling away when stopped.
Only shift the transmission into
positionP(
Ypage 92) when the
vehicle is stationary. The parking
lock should not be used as a brake
when parking. Always apply the
parking brake in addition to the
parking lock in order to secure the
vehicle.
The key can only be removed if the
transmission is in position P. If
the SmartKey is removed from the
ignition lock, the selector lever is
locked.
In the event of a malfunction of the
vehicle's electronics, the trans-
mission may lock. Information on
manually disconnecting the selec-
tor lever lock (
Ypage 97).
Have the vehicle electronics
checked immediately at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
0046Reverse gear
Only shift the transmission into
position Rwhen the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
0044Neutral
Do not shift the transmission to N
while driving. Otherwise, the
automatic transmission could be
damaged.
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive wheels.
Releasing the parking brake and
brake pedal will allow you to move
the vehicle freely, e.g. to push it or
tow it away.
If esp
®is deactivated or faulty:
shift the transmission to position
N if the vehicle is in danger of
skidding, e.g. on icy roads.
!Rolling in neutral Ncan dam-
age the drive train.
003ADrive
The automatic transmission
changes gear automatically. All
forward gears are available.
Driving tips
Changing gear
The automatic transmission shifts to the
individual gears automatically when it is in
transmission position D. This automatic
gearshifting behavior is determined by:
Rthe selected drive program:
Rthe position of the accelerator pedal
Rthe road speed
Accelerator pedal position
Your style of driving influences how the auto-
matic transmission shifts gear:
Rlittle throttle: early upshifts
Rmore throttle: late upshifts

Kickdown
If you want maximum acceleration, use kick-
down:
XDepress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point.
The automatic transmission shifts to a
lower gear depending on the engine speed.
XEase off the accelerator pedal once the
desired speed is reached.
The automatic transmission shifts back up.
Rocking the vehicle free
Shifting the transmission repeatedly
between gearsDand Rmay help to free the
vehicle if it has become stuck in slush or
snow.
XShift the selector lever alternately
between positions Dand R.
The vehicle's engine management system lim-
its the speed to a maximum of 5 mph (9 km/h)
when shifting back and forth.
Program selector button
The program selector button allows you to
choose between drive programs with differ-
ent driving characteristics.
The automatic transmission switches to drive
program E(Comfort) every time the engine is
started.
XPress program selector button 0043to change
the drive program.
The letter of the selected drive program
appears in the multifunction display.

Drive programs
Drive program E (Comfort)
Drive program E(Comfort) is characterized
by the following:
Rcomfort-oriented engine settings
Roptimal fuel consumption resulting from
the automatic transmission shifting up
sooner
Rthe automatic transmission shifting up
sooner. This results in the vehicle being
driven at lower engine speeds and the
wheels being less likely to spin
Drive program S (Dynamic)
Drive program S(Dynamic) is characterized
by the following:
Rthe automatic transmission shifting up
later
Rthe fuel consumption possibly being
higher as a result of the later automatic
transmission shift points
Manual gearshifting
General notes
You can shift the gears manually using either
the selector lever or the shift paddles. The
transmission must be in position D.
If it is permissible, the automatic transmis-
sion shifts to the next highest or next lowest
gear.
To use manual gearshifting, you have two pos-
sibilities:
Rlong-term setting
Rshort-term setting (vehicles with Sports
package)

tions. Even a small amount of alcohol or
drugs can affect your reflexes, perceptions
and judgment.
The possibility of a serious or even fatal
accident is greatly increased when you
drink or take drugs and drive.
Do not drink or take drugs and drive or
allow anyone to drive who has been drinkingor taking drugs.
Emission control
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
Inhaling these exhaust gases leads to poi-
soning. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Therefore never leave the engine running
in enclosed spaces without sufficient ven- tilation.
Certain engine systems are designed to keep
the level of poisonous components in exhaust
fumes within legal limits.
These systems only work at peak efficiency if
they are serviced exactly in accordance with
the manufacturer's specifications. There-
fore, only allow qualified and authorized
technicians to perform work on the engine.
The engine settings must not be changed
under any circumstances. Furthermore, all
specific service work must be performed at
regular intervals and in accordance with
smart service requirements. Details can be
found in the Maintenance Booklet.
Braking
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you shift down on a slippery road surface
in an attempt to increase the engine's
braking effect, the drive wheels could lose
their grip. There is an increased danger of
skidding and accidents.
Do not shift down for additional engine
braking on a slippery road surface.
Downhill gradients
!On long and steep gradients, you must
reduce the load on the brakes by shifting to
a lower gear in good time. This allows you
to take advantage of the engine's braking
effect. This helps you to avoid overheating
the brakes and wearing them out exces-
sively.
When you take advantage of the engine's
braking effect, a drive wheel may not turn
for some time, e.g. on a slippery road sur-
face. This could cause damage to the drive
train, which is not covered by the smart
warranty.
Heavy and light loads
GWARNING
If you rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving, the braking system can
overheat. This increases the stopping dis-
tance and can even cause the braking system
to fail. There is a risk of an accident.
Never use the brake pedal as a footrest.
Never depress the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal at the same time.
!Depressing the brake pedal constantly
results in excessive and premature wear to
the brake pads.
If the brakes have been subjected to a heavy
load, do not stop the vehicle immediately.
Drive on for a short while. This allows the
airflow to cool the brakes more quickly.
Wet roads
If you have driven for a long time in heavy
rain without braking, there may be a delayed
reaction from the brakes when braking for the
first time. This may also occur after the vehi-
cle has been washed or driven through deep
water.
You then have to depress the brake pedal more
firmly. Maintain a greater distance from the
vehicle in front.
After driving on a wet road or having the
vehicle washed, brake firmly while paying
attention to the traffic conditions. This will warm up the brake discs, thereby drying them
Driving tips103
>> Driving and parking.
Z

Prevent water from entering the vehicle inte-
rior or the engine compartment. If you must
drive through standing water, bear in mind
that:
Rthe water level should not exceed the lower
edge of the vehicle body in still water
Ryou should drive no faster than at walking
pace.
Winter driving
GWARNING
If you shift down on a slippery road surface
in an attempt to increase the engine's
braking effect, the drive wheels could lose
their grip. There is an increased danger of
skidding and accidents.
Do not shift down for additional engine
braking on a slippery road surface.
GDANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or adequate
ventilation is not possible, poisonous
gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) may
enter the vehicle. This is the case, e.g. if
the vehicle becomes trapped in snow. There
is a risk of fatal injury.
If you have to leave the engine running,
keep the exhaust pipe and the area around
the vehicle free of snow. To ensure an ade- quate supply of fresh air, open a window on
the side of the vehicle that is not facing
into the wind.
Have your vehicle winterproofed at a quali-
fied specialist workshop at the onset of win-
ter.
Drive particularly carefully on slippery road
surfaces. Avoid sudden acceleration, steer-
ing and braking maneuvers. Do not use cruise
control.
If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot be
stopped when moving at low speed:
XTry to bring the vehicle under control
using corrective steering.
XVehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position N.The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay.
Indicated temperatures just above the freez-
ing point do not guarantee that the road sur-
face is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
You should pay special attention to road con-
ditions when temperatures are around freez-
ing point.
For more information on driving with snow
chains, see (
Ypage 179).
For more information on driving with summer
tires, see (
Ypage 179).
Observe the notes in the "Winter operation"
section (
Ypage 179).
Driving systems
Cruise control
General notes
Cruise control maintains a constant road
speed for you. Cruise control does not brake
the vehicle automatically. Only the engine's
braking effect is available. In order to
reduce speed and maintain distance to other
road users, you need to brake yourself. This
interrupts cruise control.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic
conditions make it appropriate to maintain a steady speed for a prolonged period. You can
use cruise control at speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h).
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, cruise
control can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of physics.
Cruise control cannot take into account road,
weather or traffic conditions. Cruise control
is only an aid. You are responsible for the
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, for braking in good time and for stay-ing in lane.
Driving systems105
>> Driving and parking.
Z

Do not use cruise control:
Rin road and traffic conditions which do not
allow you to maintain a constant speed e.g.
in heavy traffic or on winding roads
Ron slippery road surfaces. Braking or
accelerating could cause the drive wheels
to lose traction and the vehicle could then
skid
Rwhen there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
fog, heavy rain or snow
If there is a change of drivers, advise the new
driver of the speed stored.

iCruise control may be unable to maintain
the stored speed on uphill gradients. The
stored speed is resumed when the gradient
evens out.
On downhill gradients, only the engine's
braking effect is available. You have to
operate the brakes yourself to reduce
speed. This interrupts cruise control.
Calling up the last speed stored
GWARNING
If you call up the stored speed and it is
different to the current speed, the vehicle
will accelerate. If you are not aware of the
stored speed, the vehicle may accelerate
unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Pay attention to the road and traffic con-
ditions before calling up the stored speed. If you do not know the stored speed, store
the desired speed again.
XPress button 0087° and release it.
Cruise control is activated and adjusts the vehicle's speed to the last speed stored.
XRemove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
iWhen you switch off the engine, the last
speed stored is cleared.
Increasing or decreasing the speed
In order to be able to increase or decrease the
speed, a speed must already have been stored.
iCruise control is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. For exam-
ple, if you accelerate briefly to overtake,
cruise control adjusts the vehicle's speed
to the last speed stored after you have fin-
ished overtaking.
