This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
102
Manually deactivating/activating the system
103The START STOPsystem (hereinafter referred to as the system) reduces
CO 2emissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel.
If the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops
(e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it again when mov-
ing off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, the others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
Therefore the system may react differently in situations which seem identi-
cal from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even where this has previously been manually deactivated with the button ).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains on.
Operation

Activation / deactivationFig. 136
System key (option 2, 3)
Read and observe and on page 114 first.
Activation
The activation of the system is initiated when the reverse gear is engaged, or,
with vehicles with the variant 2 and 3 , also by pressing the

» Fig. 136 but-
ton.
When activating, an alarm sounds and the symbol  illuminates in the button.
Deactivation
On vehicles with Version 1, the system can be deactivated by moving out of re-
verse gear.
For vehicles with version 2 and 3, the system is automatically deactivated by
pressing the  button or at a speed above 15 km/h (the
 symbol in the but-
ton goes out).
Fault display
If a warning signal sounds for 3 seconds after activating the system and there
is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is also
indicated by the symbol  flashing in the button. Seek help from a specialist
garage.
Note
The system can only be activated with the button at a speed of below 15
km/h.Reversing camera

The rear view camera (hereinafter referred to as system) helps the driver when
parking and manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle in the Info-
tainment display (hereinafter referred to as display).
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 110, in section General information .■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system function
will be significantly affected - there is a risk of an accident. For information

CAUTION
■
The camera image is distorted by contrast with eyesight. The display is
therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to following vehicles.■
Some items, such as thin columns, chain link fences or lattice, may not be
represented adequately in terms of display resolution.
■
In a crash or damage the vehicle's rear camera can possibly deviate from the
correct position. If this is the case, have the sensor checked by a specialist ga-
rage.

Tyre pressure monitoring
Fig. 142
Key for storing the pressure val-
ues
The tyre pressure monitoring function (hereinafter referred to as the system)
monitors the tyre pressure while driving.
If the tyre inflation pressure changes, the warning light 
lights up in the in-
strument cluster and an audible signal is heard » page 36, 
Tyre pressure .
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
Procedure for storing the tyre pressure values
›
Inflate all the tyres to the specified pressure.
›
Switch on the ignition.
›
Press the button 
» Fig. 142 and hold.
The warning light 
lights up in the instrument cluster.
An acoustic signal and the control indicator provide information about the
storage of the tyre pressure values.
›
Release the button 
.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
▶ Change of tyre inflation pressure.
▶ Change one or more wheels.
▶ Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶ Illumination of the warning light 
in the instrument cluster.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 110, in section General information .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 151.
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.
■
Before storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified
inflation pressure » page 151. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.
CAUTION
Save the tyre pressure values every 10,000 km or 1x annually to ensure correct
system functioning.123Assist systems

engine, it is 85 kg. Other information (e.g. on the nameplate of the trailer de-
vice) provide only about the test values of the device information.
WARNING■ Check that the tow bar is seated correctly and is secured in the mounting
recess before the start of every journey.■
When the ball rod is not used and properly secured in the receiving shaft,
this could be damaged or incomplete and must not be used -There is a risk
of an accident.
■
Do not modify or adapt the towing device in any way.
■
Keep the mounting recess of the towing equipment clean at all times.
Such dirt prevents the ball head from being attached securely.
