Problems with the transmission
ProblemPossible causes/consequences andMSolutions
The transmission has
problems shifting gear.The transmission is losing oil.
XHave the transmission checked at a qualified specialist workshop
immediately.
The acceleration ability
is deteriorating.
The transmission no lon-
ger changes gear.The transmission is in emergency mode.
7G-TRONIC:it is only possible to shift into secondgear and reverse
gear.
9G-TRONIC: it is only partly possible to engage the gears or the trans-
mission is in position N.
XStop the vehicle.
XShift the transmission to position P.
XSwitch off the engine.
XWait at least ten seconds before restarting the engine.
XShift the transmission to positionDor R.
7G-TRONIC: IfD is selected, the transmission shifts into second
gear, if Ris selected, the transmission shifts into reverse gear.
XHave the transmission checked at a qualified specialist workshop
immediately.
Transfer case
This section is only valid for vehicles with 4-
wheel drive (4MATIC). Power is always trans-
mitted to both axles.
!Performance tests may only be carried out
on a 2-axle dynamometer. The brake system
or transfer case could otherwise be damaged. Contact a qualified specialist workshop for a
performance test.
!Since ESP®engages automatically, the igni-
tion must be switched off (the SmartKey or
Start/Stop button must be in position 0or 1)
if:
Rthe electric parking brake is being tested
on a brake dynamometer
Rthe vehicle is being towed with only one
axle raised (not permitted for vehicles with
4MATIC).
The brake system could otherwise be dam-
aged.
!Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towed
with either the front or the rear axle raised, as doing so will damage the transmission.
Refueling
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel
incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
You must avoid fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine
and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before refueling.
GWARNING
Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a risk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing
and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel
vapors. Keep fuel away from children.

GDANGER
If th eexhaust pipe is blocke dor adequate
ventilation is no tpossible, poisonous gase s
suc has carbon monoxide (CO) may ente rth e
vehicle. This is th ecase, e.g. if th evehicl e
become strapped in snow. There is aris kof
fatal injury.
If you leav eth eengin eor th eauxiliary heating
running, mak esur eth eexhaust pipe and area
around th evehicl eare clear of snow. To
ensur ean adequate supply of fresh air, open a
window on th eside of th evehicl ethat is no t
facing int oth ewind.
Hav eyour vehicl ewinter-proofe dat aqualified
specialist workshop at th eonset of winter.
Drive particularly carefully on slipper yroa dsur -
faces. Avoid sudden acceleration ,steering and
braking maneuvers .Do no tuse th ecruise con-
trol or DISTRONI CPLUS.
If th evehicl ethreaten sto skid or canno tbe
stoppe dwhen moving at low speed:
XShift th etransmission to position N.
The outside temperature indicator is no t
designed to serve as an ice-warning device and
is therefor eunsuitable for that purpose .
Changes in th eoutside temperature are dis-
played after ashort delay.
Indicate dtemperatures jus tabov eth efreezing
poin tdo no tguarantee that th eroa dsurfac eis

Cruise control
Gene ral notes
Cruis econtrol maintains aconstan troa dspeed
for you. It brakes automatically in order to avoid
exceedin gth eset speed. Change int o alower
gear in goo dtime on lon gand steep downhill
gradients .This is especially important if th e
vehicl eis laden .By doin gso, you will mak euse
of th ebraking effec tof th eengine. This relieves
th eload on th ebrak esystem and prevents th e
brakes from overheating and wearing to o
quickly.
You can use cruise control if you wan tto drive at
a steady speed for aprolonged period of time.
You can store any roa dspeed abov e20 mph
(30 km/h).
Import ant safety notes
If you fail to adapt your drivin gstyle, cruise con-
trol can neither reduce th eris kof an acciden t
no roverride th elaws of physics .Cruis econtrol
canno ttak eint oaccoun tth eroad, traffic and
weather conditions. Cruis econtrol is only an
aid. You are responsibl efor maintainin g asafe
distanc eto th evehicl ein front, for vehicl e
speed, for braking in goo dtime and for stayin gin
lane.
Do no tuse cruise control :
Rin roadand traffic condition swhic hdo no t
allow you to maintai n aconstan tspeed, e.g. in
heav ytraffic or on windin groads
Ron slipper yroa dsurfaces. Braking or accel-
erating could caus eth edrive wheels to lose
traction and th evehicl ecould then skid
Rwhen there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog ,
heav yrain or snow
If there is achang eof drivers, advise th ene w
