Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled,
otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited and control indicator \ will
illuminate in the instrument cluster.
● the stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high
● the ambient temperature is not too low

● the rear air conditioning system is
not activated
● the brake vacuum is sufficient
● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
3 144
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
An Autostop may become
unavailable as the ambient
temperature approaches freezing
point.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may also inhibit an Autostop.
See "Climate control" chapter for
further information 3 118.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 136.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.Restart of the engine by the driverManual transmission
With the selector lever in neutral,
depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Notice
If any gear is selected, the clutch
pedal must be fully depressed to
restart the engine.
If the engine does not restart first
time, depress clutch pedal fully again.Manual transmission automated
With the selector lever in position N
(or A/M ) and the parking brake
released, release the brake pedal to
restart the engine.
Engaging reverse gear or depressing
the accelerator pedal may also restart the engine.
The green control indicator Ï will
extinguish in the instrument cluster
when the engine is restarted. If
certain conditions are not fulfilled, a
restart will not take place. Start using
the ignition key.
Starting the engine 3 137.

Driving and operating141Bus
The engine is restarted automatically
when operating the power sliding
door switch on the instrument panel
during an Autostop.
Sliding door 3 30.
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the
engine may be restarted
automatically by the stop-start
system. Control indicator Ï will flash
green in the instrument cluster during an automatic engine restart.
● the vehicle battery is discharged
● the ambient temperature is too low
● the defrosting function is activated
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the brake pedal is operated repeatedly
● the vehicle starts to moveAn automatic engine restart may not
be possible if a door or the bonnet is
open.
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.
If the Infotainment system is active,
audio sound may briefly be reduced
or interrupted during the restart.
Fault
If control indicator Ï illuminates
yellow, or the LED illuminates in
deactivation button Î without first
being pressed to deactivate the
system, there is a fault in the stop-
start system 3 103. A corresponding
message also appears in the Driver
Information Centre 3 104.
Seek the assistance of a workshop. Warning chimes 3 106.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 parking brake without pressing 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. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear.
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.

154Driving and operatingstart off quickly, release the brake
pedal and accelerate immediately
after engaging a gear.
In automatic mode the transmission
shifts to other gears automatically,
dependent on driving conditions.
To engage manual mode, move the
selector lever towards A/M. The
current gear will appear in the
transmission display.
To engage first gear, depress brake
pedal and move selector lever
towards + or -. Shift to a higher or
lower gear by moving selector lever to + or -. Gears can be skipped by
moving the selector lever repeatedly
at short intervals.
Stopping the vehicle In automatic or manual mode,
first gear is engaged and the clutch is
released when the vehicle is stopped. In R, reverse gear remains engaged.
When stopping on gradients, engage parking brake or depress the brake
pedal. To prevent overheating of the
clutch, an intermittent audiblewarning may sound as a signal to
depress the brake pedal or apply the
parking brake.
Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams.
When the vehicle is parked and the
driver's door is opened, a warning
chime will sound if neutral is not
selected or the brake pedal has not
been depressed.
Engine braking
Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not shift into higher gears until a fairly
high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill.Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud, snow or a hole. Move the
selector lever between R and A/M (or
between + and -) in a repeat pattern,
while applying light pressure to the
accelerator pedal. Do not race the
engine and avoid sudden
acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off, the transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
If the ignition is not switched off, or the parking brake has not been applied, a
warning chime will sound upon
opening the driver's door.
Manual mode If a higher gear is selected when the
engine speed is too low, or a lower
gear when the speed is too high, the

Driving and operating155shift is not executed. This prevents
the engine from running at too low or
too high an engine speed.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
If engine speed is too high, the
transmission only switches to a higher
gear via kickdown.
Electronic drivingprogrammes
Winter mode VActivate the Winter mode if you have
problems starting off on a slippery
road surface.
Activation
Press V. Control indicator V is shown
in the transmission display. The
transmission switches to automatic
mode and the vehicle starts off in a
suitable gear.
Deactivation
The Winter mode is switched off by:
● pressing V again
● turning off the ignition
● switching to manual mode
In order to protect the transmission at extremely high clutch temperatures,
an intermittent audible warning may
sound. In such cases, depress the
brake pedal, select "N" and apply the parking brake to allow the clutch to
cool down.Laden mode kg
It is possible to use the Laden mode
in both manual and automatic modes. In both cases, the gearshifting
patterns are adapted automatically
for carrying an increased payload.
Activation
Press kg. Control indicator kg is
shown in the transmission display.
The transmission will then select
optimized gearshift patterns.

Driving and operating157ABS 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.
Control indicator u 3 100.
Fault
If control indicators u and j
illuminate with the messages CHECK
ABS and CHECK ESP in the Driver
Information Centre, there is a fault in
the ABS. The brake system remains
operational but without ABS
regulation.9 Warning
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.
If control indicators u, j , R and
C illuminate, the ABS and ESP are
deactivated and the message
BRAKING FAULT is shown in the
Driver Information Centre. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
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
brake pedal at the same time.

158Driving and operatingControl indicator R 3 100.
Parking 3 141.
Retractable parking brake
Depending on vehicle, the parking
brake lever retracts to the horizontal
position even with the parking brake
applied.
To release the parking brake, press the release button and pull the lever
up slightly, then return the lever to the
horizontal position.
To apply the parking brake, pull the
lever up then release it. The lever
returns to the horizontal position.
Brake assist
If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when the
brake pedal is released.
Brake assist is not available during an
Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 138.
Hill start assist
The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline (with the
selector lever in a forward gear or
reverse gear), the brakes remain on
for a further 2 seconds. The brakes
release automatically as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate.Caution
The Hill start assist cannot
completely prevent vehicle
movement in all situations
(extremely steep gradients, etc.).
If necessary, depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards.
The Hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 138.

166Driving and operatingActivation
The system is automatically active
when the ignition is switched on.
Functionality
When driving in the speed range
mentioned above and a risk of
collision with the vehicle ahead is
imminent, l will flash and a warning
chime sounds.
The indicator light l and the chimes
stop when the system detects that a
collision is not imminent anymore.
Just before the imminent collision, the system brakes automatically to
reduce the impact speed of the
collision or prohibit a crash.9 Warning
Do not rely on the system to brake
the vehicle. Active emergency
braking will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only
responds to detected vehicles.
Deactivation and re-activation
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated with the vehicle
stationary and the ignition switched
on:
Toggle through the Driver Information Centre with the buttons on the right
stalk tip until message AEBS
ACTIVE appears.
To deactivate the system, press and
hold one of the two buttons for
approx. 3 seconds. Message AEBS
DEACTIVATED is displayed and l
illuminates in the instrument cluster until system is re-activated again.
To re-activate the system, press and hold one of the two buttons for
approx. 3 seconds. Message AEBS
ACTIVE is displayed and l
disappears.
Vehicle messages 3 105.
