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.

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.

● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
