124Driving and operatingSwitch off engine if stopping for a
lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams.
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.Caution
Do not leave the vehicle with the
transmission in position N.
When the ignition is switched on, a
warning chime will sound when the
vehicle is parked if the transmission is still in N.
When the ignition is switched off, the transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
Manual mode If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions. If engine
speed is too high, the transmission
only switches to a higher gear via
kickdown 3 124.
When gearshifting is recommended
to improve fuel economy, control
indicator [ or Ò illuminates in the
Driver Information Centre 3 85.
Electronic driving programmes
Eco mode E
When automatic mode is engaged,
the Eco mode can be selected to
reduce fuel consumption.

Driving and operating125Eco mode selects the most suitable
gear depending on the speed of the
vehicle, the engine speed and the
intensity with which the accelerator is
pressed.
Activation
Press E on the selector lever housing.
Control indicator E is shown in the
transmission display to indicate
activation.
Deactivation
Eco mode is switched off by:
● pressing E again
● switching to manual mode
In order to protect the transmission at
extremely high clutch temperatures,
an intermittent audible warning chime may sound. In such cases, depress
the brake pedal, select N and apply
the parking brake to allow the clutch
to cool down.
Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed
past the pressure point, the
transmission shifts to a lower geardepending on engine speed. Full
engine power is available for
acceleration.
If engine speed is too high the
transmission switches to a higher
gear, even in manual mode. Without
kickdown this automatic shift is not
effected in manual mode.
Fault
In the event of a fault, control indicator s is shown in the transmission
display.
Continued driving is possible,
provided the vehicle is driven with
care and anticipation. A warning
message may appear in the Driver
Information Centre in conjunction with
a warning chime 3 95.
Notice

can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 90.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Driving and operating135Low temperature operationAt temperatures below 0° C, some
diesel products with biodiesel blends
may clog, freeze or gel, which may
affect the fuel supply system. Starting
and engine operation may not work
properly. Make sure to fill winter
grade diesel fuel at ambient
temperatures below 0°C.
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
in extreme cold temperatures below
-20° C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor
starting or damage on the fuel
injection system.
Fuel for natural gas
operation
Use natural gas with a methane
content of approx. 78 - 99%. L-gas
(low) has approx. 78 - 87% and H-gas (high) has approx. 87 - 99%. Biogas
with the same methane content can
also be used if it has been chemically
prepared and desulphurised.
Only use natural gas or biogas that complies with DIN 51624.Liquid gas or LPG must not be used.
Refuelling Fuel filler flap is located at left rearside of vehicle.9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers. Switch off
any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Release the fuel filler flap by pulling
the flap by hand.
Insert ignition key into fuel filler cap
and turn anticlockwise to unlock.
To remove fuel filler cap, rotate
anticlockwise.
Caution
To avoid damage, do not attempt

Notice
Depending on model, the sliding
side door may be fitted with a safety system that prevents the door from
being opened fully when the fuel
filler flap is open.
