XTo switch on: press button0044.
Indicator lamp 0043goes out.
Starting at a speed of around 4 mph (7 km/h),
the distance warning function warns you if
you rapidly approach a vehicle in front. An
intermittent warning tone will then sound
and the 00BAdistance warning lamp will
light up in the instrument cluster.
XBrake immediately in order to increase the distance from the vehicle in front.
or
XTake evasive action, provided it is safe to
do so.
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving condi-
tions may also cause the system to display a
warning.
With the help of the radar sensor system, the
distance warning function can detect obsta-
cles that are in the path of your vehicle for an
extended period of time.
Up to a speed of around 45 mph (70 km/h), the
distance warning function can also react to
stationary obstacles, such as stopped or
parked vehicles.
ESP®(Electronic Stability Program)
General notes
iObserve the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Ypage 47).
esp
®monitors driving stability and traction,
i.e. power transmission between the tires and the road surface.
If esp
®detects that the vehicle is deviating
from the direction desired by the driver, one
or more wheels are braked to stabilize the
vehicle. The engine output is also modified
to keep the vehicle on the desired course
within physical limits. esp
®assists the
driver when pulling away on wet or slippery
roads. esp
®can also stabilize the vehicle
during braking.
ETS (Electronic Traction System)
iObserve the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Ypage 47).
ETS traction control is part of esp
®.
ETS brakes the drive wheels individually if
they spin. This enables you to pull away and
accelerate on slippery surfaces, for example if the road surface is slippery on one side. In
addition, more drive torque is transferred to
the wheel with traction.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If ESP
®is malfunctioning, ESP®is unable to
stabilize the vehicle. Additionally, fur-
ther driving safety systems are deactiva-
ted. This increases the risk of skidding and
an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have ESP
®checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
!If you test the parking brake using a brake
dynamometer, switch the ignition off.
Application of the brakes by ESP
®may oth-
erwise destroy the brake system.
When towing the vehicle with the rear axle
raised, observe the notes on esp
®
(Ypage 171).
If the 00E5esp®warning lamp lights up per-
manently, esp®or hill start assist are
unavailable due to a malfunction.
Observe the information on warning lamps
(
Ypage 134) and display messages which may
be shown in the instrument cluster
(
Ypage 121).
iOnly use wheels with the recommended
tire sizes. Only then will esp®function
properly.
Characteristics of ESP®
General information
If the 00E5esp®warning lamp goes out before
the journey begins, esp®is automatically
active.
If esp
®intervenes, the 00E5esp®warning
lamp flashes in the instrument cluster.

or parts of the engine that heat up. There is
a risk of fire.
Carry out regular checks to make sure that
there are no flammable foreign materials
in the engine compartment or in the exhaust
system.
!Do not depress the accelerator when
starting the engine.
iDuring a cold start, the engine runs at
higher speeds to enable the catalytic con-
verter to reach its operating temperature.
The sound of the engine may change during
this time.
Manual transmission
XDepress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed.
XDepress the clutch pedal fully.
XShift to neutral.
Automatic transmission
XShift the transmission to position P
(Ypage 92).
The transmission position display in the
multifunction display shows P
(
Ypage 92).
iYou can start the engine in transmission
positions Pand N.
In order to start the engine in transmission
position Nyou must depress the brake pedal
and keep it depressed.
Starting procedure
XTurn the key to position 3in the ignition
lock (Ypage 87) and release it as soon as the
engine is running.
Pulling away
General notes
GWARNING
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
If the engine speed is above the idling
speed and you engage transmission posi-
tion Dor R, the vehicle could pull away
suddenly. There is a risk of an accident.
When engaging transmission position Dor
R, always firmly depress the brake pedal
and do not simultaneously accelerate.
!Vehicles with manual transmission:
change gear in good time and avoid spin-
ning the wheels. You could otherwise dam-
age the vehicle.
!Release the parking brake before driving
off. The parking brake can otherwise over-
heat, malfunction and wear out quickly.
Accelerate gently when pulling away.
The vehicle locks centrally once you have
pulled away.
You can open the doors from the inside at any
time.
You can also deactivate the automatic locking
feature (
Ypage 55).
Vehicles with automatic transmission: you
can only shift the transmission from position
P to the desired transmission position if:
Rthe ignition is switched on
Ryou depress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed and
Ryou press release button on the selector
lever (Ypage 92).
Only then is the shift lock released.
iVehicles with automatic transmission:
transmission shifts take place at higher
engine speeds after a cold start. This helps
the catalytic converter to reach its oper-
ating temperature more quickly.
Hill start assist
Hill start assist helps you when pulling away forwards or in reverse on an uphill gradient.
It holds the vehicle for a short time after you have removed your foot from the brake pedal.
This gives you enough time to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal
and to depress it before the vehicle begins to
roll.
GWARNING
After a short time, hill start assist will no
longer brake your vehicle and it could roll

away. There is a risk of an accident and
injury.
Therefore, quickly move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Never
leave the vehicle when it is held by hill
start assist.
Hill start assist is not active if:
Ryou pull away on level ground
Ryou pull away in a forward gear on a down-
hill slope
Ron vehicles with automatic transmission,
the transmission is in position N.

Manual transmission
Gear lever
!
Only engage gear when the clutch pedal is
depressed.
!When shifting into 5thgear, you should
always push the gear lever all the way to the
right. You could otherwise shift uninten-
tionally into 3rdgear and damage the
transmission.
If you shift down at too high a speed (trans-
mission braking), this can cause the engine
to overrev, leading to engine damage.
Never hold the vehicle stopped on a hill by
using the clutch pedal. There is otherwise
a risk of damaging the clutch.
!On long and steep downhill gradients,
especially if the vehicle is laden, you must
shift into gear 1,2or 3in good time. By
doing so, you will make use of the braking
effect of the engine. This relieves the load
on the brake system and prevents the brakes
from overheating and wearing too quickly.

Shifting with shift paddles (vehicles
with Sports package)
XTo shift up:pull shift paddle 0044.
The automatic transmission shifts up to the
next gear.
To prevent engine damage the automatic
transmission shifts up automatically:
Rif the maximum engine speed on the cur-
rently engaged gear is reached and
Ryou continue to accelerate.
XTo shift down: pull shift paddle 0043.
The automatic transmission shifts down to
the next gear.
Downshifting occurs automatically while
coasting.
If the engine exceeds the maximum engine
speed when shifting down, the automatic
transmission protects against engine dam-
age by not shifting down.
Shift recommendation
The gearshift recommendations assist you in
adopting an economical driving style.
XShift one gear up or down according to
gearshift recommendation 0043when shown in the multifunction display of the instru-
ment cluster.
Further information on the transmission dis-
play (
Ypage 111).
Kickdown
If you want maximum acceleration, you can
also change the kickdown to be manually
switched on:
XDepress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point.
The automatic transmission shifts to a
lower gear depending on the engine speed.
XShift back up once the desired speed is
reached.
iIf you apply full throttle, the automatic
transmission shifts up to the next gear
when the maximum engine speed is reached.
This prevents the engine from overrevving.
