indicated in the display of the switch.
For reasons of comfort, change
temperature only in small increments.

Driving and operating129Use only floor mats, which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.
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.
Control indicator c 3 89.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.
Additionally, the cleaning process of
the exhaust filter may take place more
often.

Retained power off
The following electronic systems can
work until the driver's door is opened
or at the latest for 10 minutes after the
ignition is switched off:
● power windows
● power outlets
● power sunroof

130Driving and operatingStarting the engine
Turn key to position 1 to release the
steering wheel lock.
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedal.
Manual transmission automated:
operate brake pedal.
Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Turn key briefly to position 3 and
release: an automatic procedure
operates the starter after a brief
delay, until the engine is running. See
'Automatic Starter Control'.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn the key back to position
0 .
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -30 °C . Required is an engine oil with
the correct viscosity, the correct fuel,
performed services and a sufficiently
charged vehicle battery.
Automatic starter controlThis function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not need to hold the key in position 3.
Once applied, the system will go on
starting automatically until the engine
is running. Because of the checking
procedure, the engine starts running after a short delay.Possible reasons for a non-starting
engine:
● clutch pedal is not operated (manual transmission).
● brake pedal not operated (manual transmission
automated).
● timeout occurred.
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time,
especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully
protect the engine.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle
is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released.
Depending on driving conditions, the
overrun cut-off may be deactivated.

Driving and operating133If one of the following conditionsoccurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system:
● The stop-start system is manually deactivated.
● The bonnet is opened.
● The driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door
is opened.
● The engine temperature is too low.
● The charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level.
● The brake vacuum is not sufficient.
● The vehicle is driven at least at walking speed.
● The climate control system requests an engine start.
● The air conditioning is manually switched on.
If the bonnet is not fully closed, a warning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop during restart might be noticeable.
Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake. Activate the parking
brake without pressing the
release button. Apply as firmly
as possible on a downhill slope
or uphill slope. Depress brake
pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear before removing the ignition key. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear
before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close the windows and the sunroof.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. Turn the
steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
For vehicles with manual
transmission automated, the key can only be removed from
the ignition switch when the
parking brake is applied.
● Lock the vehicle.
● Activate the anti-theft alarm system.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 167.

Driving and operating145Activation
Press B when engine is running. The
system works from standstill up to
22 mph, and in reverse gear. Above
this speed, the system changes to
normal mode. When activated, City
mode engages automatically below
22 mph.
An illuminated LED in the City mode
button indicates that the system is
active.
Additionally, a message pops-up in
the Driver Information Centre.
City mode remains active during an Autostop, but is only operationalwhen the engine is running.
Stop-start system 3 131.
Deactivation
Press B. The LED in the button
extinguishes.
Additionally, a message pops-up in
the Driver Information Centre.
Each time the engine is started, City
mode is deactivated.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
control indicator c illuminates.
Additionally, a message pops-up in the Driver Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 98.
System calibration
If control indicators c and b
illuminate simultaneously, a
calibration of the power steering
system is necessary. This can occur
e.g. when turning the steering wheel
for one rotation with ignition switched
off. In this case, switch on ignition and turn steering wheel once from lock to
lock.
If control indicators c and b do not
extinguish after calibration, seek the
assistance of a workshop.

156Driving and operatingfor parallel parking slots or 6 m forperpendicular parking slots after the
Stop message is given. The system
calculates the optimal path into the
parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered into the slot automatically by givingthe driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and
gearshifting. The driver must keep
hands away from the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Display indication
The instructions in the display show:
● general hints and warning messages
● a hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in
guiding mode
● the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected
● the direction of driving during the
parking manoeuvre
● the demand to gearshift rearwards or forwards
● the demand to accelerate or brake
● for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the
Driver Information Centre
● successful parking manoeuvre indicated by a pop-up symbol
and a chime
● the cancelling of a parking manoeuvreDisplay priorities
Advanced parking assist indication on
the Driver Information Centre can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing SET/CLR on
the stalk, advanced parking assist
instructions appear again and the
parking manoeuvre can be continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
● a long press of D
● parking manoeuvre successfully ended
● driving faster than 18 mph during
parking slot search
● driving faster than 5 mph during parking guidance
● driver interference on steering wheel detected
● exceeding the maximum number
of gear changes: eight parking
cycles when parallel parking or
five cycles when perpendicular
parking
● switching off the ignition
