Driving and operating139Refill the AdBlue tank as soon as
possible. Refer to "Refilling AdBlue"
below.
If AdBlue is not refilled within a certain
distance, further level warnings are
displayed in the Driver Information Centre 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 Driver Information
Centre.
Notice
These restrictions are a legal
requirement.
Before the prevention of an engine
restart, a warning message with
0 miles is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre, 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 Driver Information Centre
reminding the driver that AdBlue level
is insufficient.To allow the engine to be restarted,
the tank should be refilled completely
or with a volume of at least ten litres
of AdBlue, depending on AdBlue
consumption.

will be displayed in the Driver

Driving and operating141Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Notice
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
refilling the tank completely or with a
volume of at least ten litres of AdBlue (depending on AdBlue
consumption).
Avoid minor top-ups (e.g. less than ten litres), otherwise the system may not detect a refill.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
may emerge. Do not inhale as the fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
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.
Capacities 3 215.
Filling station9 Danger
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refilling AdBlue.
1. Switch off engine and remove key
from ignition switch.
2. Open left-hand door and pull fuel filler flap to open.
3. Unscrew protective capanticlockwise from the filler neck.

144Driving and operatingCaution
It is inadvisable to drive with hand
resting on the selector lever.
Upshift 3 97.
Stop-start system 3 133.
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 3 100, there is a fault in the
braking system. Seek the assistance
of a workshop immediately.Control indicator R 3 96.
Vehicle messages 3 101.
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 97.
Fault
If control indicator u does not go out
a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, or if it illuminates while

Driving and operating145driving, there is a fault in the ABS.
Control indicator F 3 96 may also
illuminate in the instrument cluster
together with a corresponding
message in the Driver Information
Centre. The brake system remains
operational but without ABS
regulation.9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
If control indicators u, F , R 3 96
and C 3 96 illuminate, there is a fault
in the braking system. A
corresponding message also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 100. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 101.
Parking brake9 Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever.
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal at the same time.
Control indicator R 3 96.
Parking 3 136.
Brake assist If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when the
brake pedal is released.
Brake assist is not available during an
Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 133.
Hill start assist
The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline (with the
selector lever in a forward gear or
reverse gear), the brakes remain on

146Driving and operatingfor a further two seconds. The brakesrelease 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 3 133.
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 3 100.
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.
Control indicator b 3 97.
Trailer stability assist (TSA) 3 160.

Driving and operating157The flow and filterability of diesel fuels
are temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with
diesel fuel with guaranteed winter
properties.
Diesel fuel filter 3 170, diesel fuel
system bleeding 3 170.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers.
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.
Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Notice
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
five litres) to ensure accurate
readings.
The fuel filler flap is 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.
Notice
Do not open the left-hand sliding
side door during refuelling.
Pull flap to open.Caution
In vehicles with AdBlue, the
AdBlue protective cap is the blue
lower cap 3 137 , and the fuel filler
cap is the black upper cap
(arrowed in illustration).
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.

Driving and operating159Trailer hitch
General information
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment. Only use
towing equipment that has been
approved for your vehicle.
Driving characteristics and towing tips
In the case of trailers with brakes,
attach the breakaway stopping cable.
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate
the coupling ball. However, do not do
so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce
snaking movements. For trailers with
low driving stability the use of a
stabiliser is recommended.
A maximum speed of 50 mph must
not be exceeded, even in countries
where higher speeds are permitted.If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 216.
Trailer towing
Trailer loads The permissible trailer loads are
vehicle and engine-dependent
maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is
the difference between the actual
gross weight of the trailer and the
actual coupling socket load with the
trailer coupled.
The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In
general, they are valid for gradients
up to max. 12%.
The permitted trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an
altitude of 1000 metres above sealevel. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the air
becoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10%
for every 1000 metres of additional
altitude. The gross train weight does
not have to be reduced when driving
on roads with slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g. motorways).
The permissible gross train weight
must not be exceeded. This weight is
specified on the identification plate
3 204.
Vertical coupling load
The vertical coupling load is the load
exerted by the trailer on the coupling
ball. It can be varied by changing the
weight distribution when loading the
trailer.
The maximum permissible vertical
coupling load is specified on the
towing equipment identification plate
and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The
vertical coupling load should never
fall below 25 kg.
