Driving economically Fuel economy mode
Fuel economy mode is a function that optimises fuel consumption. It affects,
e.g., engine power and torque,
acceleration and gear shift indication.
Manual transmissionActivation
Press s on the instrument panel;
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation.
Driving and operating123Deactivation
Press s again; LED in the button
extinguishes.
Stop-start system 3 126.
Automatic transmission
Activate fuel economy mode to allow
the transmission to adapt gearshift
patterns, improving the vehicle's fuel
economy.
Activation
In automatic mode, press s.
Control indicator s illuminates in
the instrument cluster 3 89.
The settings of certain electronic
systems are adapted to reduce fuel
consumption:
● The engine reacts less quickly to
the accelerator pedal.
● Automatic upshift points occur sooner and downshift points
occur later.
● The transmission locks itself to the engine at cruising speeds, to
improve efficiency and increase
power and torque.
● The fuel supply is automatically cut-off more quickly during
vehicle deceleration. Overrun
cut-off 3 126.
Do not use fuel economy mode whilst towing, e.g. a trailer.Deactivation
Press s again; control indicator
s extinguishes in the instrument
cluster.
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 126.
126Driving and operatingStarting the vehicle at low
temperatures
In extremely cold temperatures, i.e.
below -20 °С, it may be necessary to
crank the engine for up to
30 seconds for it to start.
Turn key to position START and hold
until engine starts. Start attempts
should not last longer than
30 seconds. If engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before repeatingstarting procedure.
Ensure the engine oil is of the correct viscosity, the correct fuel is used,
vehicle services are performed
regularly and the battery is sufficiently
charged.
Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time,
especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.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 the 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 vehicle battery sensor
ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the vehicle 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 s. The
deactivation is indicated when the
LED in the button extinguishes.
Fuel economy mode 3 122.
Autostop If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
● Depress the clutch pedal
● set the lever to neutral
● release the clutch pedal
Vehicle care185If the tyre pressure is to be reduced or
increased, switch off the ignition. Tyre
pressures 3 182, 3 212.
General information The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved tyre repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 187.
Operating electronic devices or being close to facilities using similar wave
frequencies could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
valve cores and sealing rings must be
replaced each time the tyres are
changed.
Tyre pressure sensor matching
process
Each tyre pressure sensor has a
unique identification code. The
identification code must be matched
to a new tyre/wheel position after
rotating the tyres or replacing one or
more of the tyre pressure sensors.The tyre pressure sensor matching
process should also be performed
after replacing a spare tyre with a
road tyre containing a tyre pressure
sensor. The control indicator w and
the warning message should
extinguish at the next ignition cycle.
The sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order:
● left front tyre
● right front tyre
● right rear tyre
● left rear tyre
Consult your workshop for service or
to purchase a relearn tool.
There are two minutes to match the
first tyre/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tyre/wheel positions. If it takes longer, the matching process stops and must
be restarted.The tyre pressure sensor matching
process is as follows:
1. Apply the electrical parking brake 3 143 ; on vehicles with automatic
transmission move the selector
lever to position P.
2. Turn the ignition on 3 125.
3. Initiate the TPMS Learn Mode by simultaneously pressing p and
q on the radio remote control,
- or -
Press INFO on the Infotainment
system until a tyre learn message appears on the Info-display.
Press and hold OK.
The horn sounds twice and the left front turn signal also illuminates
as confirmation that Learn Mode
has been enabled.
4. Start with the left front tyre. 5. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.
Then press the button to activate
the tyre pressure sensor. A horn
chirp confirms that the sensor
identification code has been
Vehicle care1896. Press the on/off button to turn the
tyre repair kit on. The tyre is filled
with sealant.
The pressure gauge briefly shows a high pressure while the sealant
canister is emptying. Then the
pressure starts to drop.
All of the sealant is pumped into
the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
7. Inflate the tyre to the recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gauge. The
prescribed tyre pressure should
be obtained within 10 minutes
3 212 . When the correct pressure
is obtained, switch off the
compressor.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for
10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.Drain excess tyre pressure with
the button next to the pressure
gauge.
Do not run the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes.
8. Detach the tyre repair kit and replace the tyre valve cap.
9. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
10. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from
the sealant canister and affix in
the driver's field of view.
11. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributedin the tyre. After driving approx.
10 km (but no more than
10 minutes) stop and check tyre
pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
slightly, set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen by more than 68 kPa (0.68 bar), the
vehicle must not be driven. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
12. To adjust tyre pressure, screw compressor air hose (arrowed)
directly onto tyre valve.
