144Driving and operatingWhen clutch slip is detected for a
specific time, the engine power will be
reduced. A warning is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Release
the clutch.Caution
It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever.
Gear shift indication 3 89.
Stop-start system 3 132.
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 the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing the 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.
Control indicator R 3 89.
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 89.
Adaptive brake light
During full braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS
control.
Driving and operating145Fault9Warning
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.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake
9 Warning
Before leaving the vehicle, check
parking brake status. Control
indicator R must illuminate
constantly.
Manual 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
foot brake at the same time.
Control indicator R 3 89.
Brake assist
If brake pedal is depressed quickly
and forcefully, maximum brake force
is automatically applied.
Operation of brake assist might
become apparent by a pulse in the
brake pedal and a greater resistance when depressing the brake pedal.
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain on for further two seconds. The
brakes release automatically as soon
as the vehicle begins to accelerate.
Driving and operating163DeactivationPanoramic view system is
deactivated when:
● driving faster than 10 km/h
● seven seconds after disengaging
reverse gear
● by pressing the icon q in the left
upper corner of the touch screen
● opening the tailgate
General information9 Warning
The panoramic view system does
not replace driver vision. It will not display children, pedestrians,
cyclists, crossing traffic, animals,
or any other objects outside of the camera view area, e. g. below the
bumper, or underneath the
vehicle.
Do not drive or park the vehicle
using only the panoramic view
system.
Always check the surrounding of
the vehicle before driving.
Displayed images may be further
or closer than they appear. The
area displayed is limited and
objects that are close to either
edge of the bumper or under the
bumper are not displayed on the
screen.
System limitations
Caution
For optimal operation of the
system, it is important to keep the
lense of the camera in the tailgate between the number plate lightsalways clean. Rinse the lense with water and wipe with a soft cloth.
Do not clean the lense with a
steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
The panoramic view system may not
operate properly when:

● The sun or the beam of headlights is shining directly into
the camera lenses.
● During nighttime driving.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● The camera lenses are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer.
● The vehicle had an accident.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
Rear view camera The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing by displaying a
view of the area behind the vehicle.
The view of the camera is displayed
in the Info-Display.9 Warning

Lane departure warning The lane departure warning systemobserves the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving via a front
camera. The system detects lane
changes and warns the driver in the
event of an unintended lane change
via visual and acoustic signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
● No operation of turn signals.
● No brake pedal operation.
● No active accelerator operation or speeding-up.If the driver is active, no warning will
be issued.
Activation
The lane departure warning system isactivated by pressing ½. The system
is switched on when the LED in the
button is not illuminated.
The system is only operable at
vehicle speeds above 60 km/h and if
lane markings are available.
When the system recognises an
unintended lane change, the control
indicator ) flashes yellow.
Simultaneously a chime sound is
activated.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by
pressing ½, the LED in the button
illuminates.
At speeds below 60 km/h the system
is inoperable.
Fault
In the event of a fault, F
appears in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a display message.
Contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The lane departure warning system
may not operate properly when:
● The windscreen is not clean.
● There are adverse environmental
conditions like heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows.

Driver alert monitores the driving time above a vehicle speed of 65 km/h.
It is recommended to take a break as soon as feeling tired or at least every
two hours.
The system includes a driving time
alert.
Driving time alert The driver gets notified by a pop-up
reminder symbol ˇ in the Driver
Information Centre simultaneously with a sound alert if the driver has not
taken a break after two hours of
driving at a speed above 65 km/h. The
alert is repeated hourly until the
vehicle is stopped, no matter how
vehicle speed evolves.
The counting of driving time alert is
reset when the ignition has been
switched off for a few minutes.
