Loading information
● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly
distributed and placed as far
forward as possible. If objects
can be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the
bottom.
● Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes
3 61.
● Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent themfrom sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrestsof the rear seats must not be tiltedforwards or folded down.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
● Do not place any objects on the extendable load compartment
cover 3 58 or the instrument
panel, and do not cover the
sensor on top of the instrument panel 3 103.

considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer. During an
Autostop the brake servo unit will
still be operational.
Do not remove key until vehicle is

The system can be manually adapted by use of air distribution and air flowcontrols.
The electronic climate control system
is only fully operational when the

110Driving and operatingTo reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven:
1. Turn the ignition key to position 1 3 108.
2. Fully actuate the right turn signal light 3 96.
3. Deactivate the right turn signal light.
4. Fully actuate the left turn signal light.
5. Deactivate the left turn signal light.
6. Repeat steps 2, 3, 4 and 5.
7. Turn the ignition key to position 0.9Danger
If you can smell fuel in the vehicle,
or a fuel leak is present, have thecause of this remedied
immediately by a workshop. Do
not reset the fuel cut-off system, to avoid the risk of fire.
Fuel system messages 3 91.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut-
off during overrun, i.e. when the
vehicle is driven with a gear engaged
but accelerator is released.
Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce exhaust emissions. When conditions allow, it switches off
the engine as soon as the vehicle is
at a low speed or at a standstill, e.g.
at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. It
starts the engine automatically as
soon as the clutch is depressed.
A battery sensor ensures that an
Autostop is only performed if the
battery is sufficiently charged for a
restart.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing ^ in the centre
console. LED in the button illuminates
to confirm deactivation.
Depending on version, a
corresponding message may also
appear in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 85.
124Driving and operatingSwitching off
Turn end of lever to the OFF position;
control indicator m extinguishes. The
stored speed is deleted. Switching off
the ignition also deletes the stored
speed.
Parking assist
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles,
and giving acoustic signals. It is the
driver, however, who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Control indicator r 3 80.
System operation
The parking assist is turned on
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
The intervals between the beeps
become shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm, the beeping is a continuous tone whichstops immediately when the distance
is increased.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
r illuminates and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 85.
The following conditions could affect
the system's performance:
● The ultrasonic sensors are not clean. Keep the bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
● The sensors are covered by frost
or ice.● The rear doors / tailgate are open.
● An object was hanging out of the
rear doors / tailgate during the
last drive cycle. Once the object
has been removed, the parking
assist will return to normal
operation.
● An object or cover is attached to the rear of the vehicle.
● The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle to a workshop to
repair the system.
● Other conditions, such as vibrations from a jackhammer,
are affecting system
performance.
In the event the system still does not
work properly, seek the assistance of
a workshop.
A warning chime is also sounded
briefly if a fault is present when
reverse gear is engaged 3 90.
Notice
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 85.
Driving and operating125Important hints for using the
parking assist systems9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper. If
such obstacles leave the detection area of the sensors during
approach of the vehicle, a
continuous warning tone will
sound.
Caution
Performance of the sensor can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
systems can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification in the upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross section, like objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist will not avoid a
collision with objects which are out
of the detection range of the
sensors.
Notice
The parking assist system
automatically detects factory-fitted
towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
The sensor may detect a non-
existent object (echo disturbance)
caused by external acoustic or
mechanical disturbances.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfills these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10% bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended octane rating 3 173. Use of fuel with
too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly
increases fuel consumption.Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
