120Driving and operatingParking9Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply parking brake without pressing release
button. Apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill slope or
uphill slope. Depress foot brake at the same time to reduce
operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear.
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.
● Lock the vehicle 3 23
● Activate the anti-theft locking system 3 32 and anti-theft alarm
system 3 33.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification.
The filter is cleaned by periodically
burning off the soot particles at high
temperature. This process takes
place automatically under set driving

Driving and operating121conditions. Autostop is not available
and fuel consumption may be higher
during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this process
is normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will be
indicated by the illumination of control
indicators F 3 85 and Z 3 85 in the
instrument cluster. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.Caution
If the cleaning process is
interrupted, there is a risk of
provoking severe engine damage.
Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on page 3 138, 3 186 could
damage the catalytic converter or
electronic components.
Unburnt fuel will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual
problems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop as soon as
possible. In an emergency, driving
can be continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.
If control indicator Z flashes, the
permitted emission limits may be
exceeded. Lift your foot off the
accelerator until Z stops flashing and
is steadily illuminated. Contact a
workshop immediately.
Malfunction indicator light 3 85.
AdBlue
General information The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust
system.
The designation of the DEF used is
AdBlue Ⓡ. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32% urea and
68% water.
Notice
AdBlue Ⓡ is a registered trademark
of the Verband der
Automobilindustrie e.V. (VDA).

Driving and operating123Refill the Adblue tank as soon as
possible. Refer to " Refilling AdBlue"
below.
Driving is possible without any
restrictions.
If AdBlue is not refilled within a certain
distance, further level warnings are
displayed in the DIC depending on
the current AdBlue level.
Engine restarts prevented
Subsequent requests to refill AdBlue
and finally the announcement that an engine restart will be prevented are
displayed in the DIC.
Notice
These restrictions are a legal
requirement.
Before the prevention of an engine
restart, a warning message with
0 miles is displayed in the DIC,
indicating that after switching off the
ignition an engine restart will be
prohibited.
After the prevention of an engine
start, a warning message is displayed in the DIC reminding the driver that
AdBlue level is insufficient.To allow the engine to be restarted,
the tank should be filled with at least
10 litres of AdBlue.
High emission warnings If the exhaust emission rises above a
certain value, warnings similar to the
range warnings as described above will be displayed in the DIC. Control
indicator Y illuminates continuously
together with F and a warning chime.
Requests to have the exhaust system checked and finally the
announcement that an engine restart
with be prevented are displayed in the
DIC.
Notice
These restrictions are a legal
requirement.
At an AdBlue range of approx.
680 miles, a warning message is
displayed in the DIC showing the
remaining distance the vehicle can
travel before engine restarts are
prevented. This warning message is
repeated approx. every 60 miles.
Seek the assistance of a workshop as soon as possible.Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.

124Driving and operatingNotice
If AdBlue must be refilled at very low temperatures, the refilling of AdBlue
may not be detected by the system.
In this case, park the vehicle in a
space with a higher ambient
temperature until AdBlue is
liquefied.
Notice
If engine starting is prohibited due to low Adblue level, we recommend
adding a volume of at least 10 litres
of AdBlue when refilling. Avoid minor
top-ups (e.g. less than 5 litres),
otherwise the system may not detect a refill.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The fumes are not harmful by inhalation.Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located behind the fuel filler flap, located on
the left-hand side of the vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked and the left- hand door is opened.9 Danger
Vehicles with stop-start system:
The engine must be switched off
and the ignition key removed, to
avoid risk of engine being
restarted automatically by the
system.

hose according to environmental requirements.
Fault
If the system detects an operating fault, control indicator Y illuminates
together with F and a warning chime.
Seek the assistance of a workshop
immediately.
A corresponding message appears in the DIC 3 89.Manual transmission
To engage reverse, with the vehicle
stationary depress the clutch pedal, pull up the collar on the selector lever
and engage the gear against the
resistance.
If the gear does not engage, set the
lever in neutral, release the clutch
pedal and depress again; then repeat
gear selection.
Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the
pedal as a foot rest.

126Driving and operatingCaution
It is inadvisable to drive with hand
resting on the selector lever.
Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when you depress the
brake pedal firmly. You need to use
considerably more force for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
If control indicator R illuminates in
the instrument cluster while driving
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 89, there is a fault in
the braking system. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.Control indicator R 3 85.
Vehicle messages 3 90.
Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting-off, the system performs
a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 86.
Fault
If control indicator u does not go out
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, or if it illuminates while

128Driving and operatingfor a further 2 seconds. The brakes
release automatically as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate.Caution
The Hill start assist cannot
completely prevent vehicle
movement in all situations
(extremely steep gradients, etc.).
If necessary, depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from
rolling forwards or backwards.
The Hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop. Stop-start system

Ride control systems
Traction Control system The Traction Control system (TC) is a
component part of the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP® Plus
) which
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
TC is operational as soon as the
ignition is switched on and control
indicator b extinguishes in the
instrument cluster. A corresponding message also appears in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 89.
When TC is active b flashes.9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.

Enhanced Traction function

Driving and operating129If necessary, in the event of soft
ground, mud or snow-covered road
surfaces, the Traction control system
(TC) can be deactivated to enhance
traction:
Press Ø on the instrument panel.
Control indicator Ø illuminates in the
instrument cluster and a
corresponding message appears in
the DIC 3 89.
When vehicle speed reaches 30 mph, the system switches
automatically from Enhanced
Traction function to TC operation.
Control indicator Ø extinguishes in
the instrument cluster.
TC is reactivated by pressing Ø
again. Control indicator Ø
extinguishes.
TC is also reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
Fault
If the system detects a fault, control indicator b 3 86 illuminates together
with F 3 85 in the instrument cluster
and a corresponding message
appears in the DIC 3 89.
TC is not operational. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 90.
Electronic stability program The Electronic Stability Program
(ESP® Plus
) improves driving stability
when necessary, regardless of the
type of road surface or tyre grip. It also
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually. Thisconsiderably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery road
surfaces.
ESP® Plus
is operational as soon as
the ignition is switched on and control
indicator b extinguishes in the
instrument cluster. A corresponding
message also appears in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 89.
