Driving and operating131Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
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.

Refuelling 3 159.
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 pedal is released.
Depending on driving conditions, the
overrun cut-off may be deactivated.Stop-start system
The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam. It restarts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch pedal is depressed.
A vehicle battery sensor ensures that
an Autostop is only performed if the
vehicle battery is sufficiently charged
for a restart.
Switch off engine and ignition before
exiting the vehicle.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.
If the below conditions are not
fulfilled, an Autostop is prohibited and
control indicator \ illuminates in the
instrument cluster 3 100.Deactivation

system, the LED in Î illuminates,
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 101 . Seek the assistance of
a workshop.

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.
● Close the windows.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. Turn the
steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
● Lock the vehicle by pressing e on
the remote control 3 24.
Activate the anti-theft alarm
system 3 36.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 165.

speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx.30 seconds before switching off, in
order to protect the turbocharger.
Vehicle storage 3 164.

Driving and operating143Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Notice
If AdBlue must be refilled at very low temperatures, the refilling of AdBlue
may not be detected by the system.
In this case, park the vehicle in a
space with a higher ambient
temperature until AdBlue is
liquefied.
Notice
If engine starting is prohibited due to low AdBlue level, we recommend
refilling the tank completely or with a volume of at least 10 l of AdBlue
(depending on AdBlue
consumption).
Avoid minor top-ups (e.g. less than
10 l), otherwise the system may not
detect a refill.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.The filler neck for AdBlue is located
behind the fuel filler flap, located on
the left-hand side of the vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked and the left- hand door is opened.9 Danger
Vehicles with stop-start system:
The engine must be switched off
and the ignition key removed, to
avoid risk of engine being
restarted automatically by the
system.
Capacities 3 219.
Filling station
9 Danger
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refilling AdBlue.
1. Switch off engine and remove key
