Setting date and time
With the navigation system, date and
time are set automatically upon
receipt of a GPS satellite signal. If the
displayed time does not match local
time, it can be corrected manually or
automatically by receiving an RDS
time signal.
Some RDS transmitters do not send a correct time signal. In such cases,
switch off automatic time
synchronisation and set the time
manually.
To set date and time manually, select
menu item Time, Date from the
Settings menu. The menu is
displayed. Select the menu items
required and make the desired
setting.
To correct time with the help of RDS,
select menu item Synchron. clock
automatical. from the Time, Date
menu. The box in front of Synchron.
clock automatical. will be checked.Language selection
The display language for some
functions can be selected. Select
menu item Language from the
Settings menu. The available
languages are displayed.

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.

124Driving and operatingPedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
SteeringCaution
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is
stationary, as this may damage
the power steering pump.
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.
Electric power steering Electric power steering does not havepower steering fluid. Regular
maintenance is not required.
Note
If the steering wheel is turned until it
reaches the end of its travel, and is
held in that position for an extended
period of time, power steering assist
may be reduced. If used for an
extended period of time, power
steering assist may be reduced.
Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.
If power steering assist is lost due to
a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Control indicator 2 3 86.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging of the
battery.

Steering wheel lock
Remove key from ignition switch and
turn steering wheel until it engages.
9 Danger
Never remove the key from
ignition switch during driving as
this will cause steering wheel lock.
Starting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedals.
Automatic transmission: operate
brake pedal and move selector lever
to P or N.
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Diesel engines: turn the key to
position ON for preheating until
control indicator ! extinguishes
3 87.
Turn key briefly to position START
and release. Key returns
automatically to position ON.
Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn key back to LOCK.
Start attempts should not last longer
than 15 seconds. If engine does not
start, wait 10 seconds before
repeating starting procedure.
The increased engine speed
automatically returns to normal idling
speed as the engine temperature
rises. Drive at a moderate speed,
especially in cold weather, until
normal engine operating
temperatures have been reached.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Stop-start system 3 126.

128Driving and operatingIf the selector lever is shifted out of
neutral before depressing the clutch
first, control indicator - illuminates.
Control indicator - 3 90.
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
The selector lever must be in neutral to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system.
● The stop-start system is manually deactivated
● the bonnet is opened
● the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door
is opened
● the engine temperature is too low
● the charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the vehicle is driven at least at walking speed
● the defrosting function is activated● the climate control systemrequests an engine start
● the air conditioning is manually switched on
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.
Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the electrical parking brake.
Pull switch m.
The electric parking brake is
applied when control indicator
m illuminates 3 85.
For maximum force, e.g.
parking with a trailer or on
inclines, pull switch m twice.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or move the selector
lever to P before removing the
ignition key. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
move the selector lever to P
before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close windows and sunroof.
● Turn the ignition key to position
LOCK , push key into ignition
switch and remove.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, depress foot
brake and shift into P before
pushing key into ignition switch and removing.
Turn the steering wheel until
the steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.

Driving and operating129● Lock the vehicle by pressing p
on the radio remote control 3 22.
Activate the anti-theft alarm
system 3 26.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.
Malfunction indicator light 3 84.
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
conditions and may take more than
15 minutes. 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.
