fault is present in the transmission.
A warning message may also appear
in the Driver Information Centre
3 89 in conjunction with a warning
chime.
Continued driving is possible,
provided the vehicle is driven with
care and anticipation.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop as soon as possible.

when gearshifting is recommended
for fuel saving reasons.
Hill start assist Z illuminates yellow.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on.
If the control indicator does not
extinguish after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while driving, there is afault in the Hill start assist. Seek the
assistance of a workshop to have the
fault remedied.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
control indicator R may also
illuminate 3 84 in conjunction with
Z .
Depending on version, 9 may
illuminate as an alternative if control
indicator Z is not present. A
corresponding warning message, e.g. Hill holder unavailable , may also

Fault due to sensors that are dirty or
covered by ice or snow
orInterference due to external sources of ultrasound. Once the source ofinterference is removed, the system
will operate normally.
Have the cause of the fault in the

Instruments and controls95● Vehicles with manualtransmission automated; brake
pedal has not been depressed
when starting the engine.
● Vehicles with manual transmission automated; an
incorrect gear has been selected when starting-off or during
driving.
● Vehicles with manual transmission automated; whenthe vehicle is at a standstill, if
engine is running and a gear is engaged; transmission
automatically shifts to N in certain
situations.
● If the clutch temperature is too high in vehicles with manual
transmission automated.
● If a transmission fault is detected
in vehicles with manual
transmission automated.
● If a warning message, e.g. low tyre pressure, appears in the
Driver Information Centre.When the vehicle is parked
and/or the driver's door is opened
● When the key is in the ignition switch.
Fuel system messages
Fuel cut-off system
In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.
Control indicator 9 3 80 illuminates if
the fuel cut-off switch is triggered and, depending on version, a
corresponding warning message may also appear in the Driver Information
Centre 3 89.
To reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven, refer
to " Vehicle shutdown " 3 113.Trip computer
The trip computer provides
information on driving data, which is
continually recorded and evaluated electronically.
Depending on version, the following
functions may be selected by
pressing TRIP repeatedly on the end
of the wiper lever:
Standard version ● outside temperature (if available)
● range
● distance travelled

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 3 114.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Steering 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.

112Driving and operatingCaution
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is
stationary, as this may damage
the power steering pump.
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 the
vehicle battery.
