Instruments and controls97If R illuminates together with control
indicator C and a warning chime,
there is a fault in the braking system.
A corresponding message also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 100 . Seek the assistance of
a workshop immediately.

illuminate in the instrument cluster
together a corresponding message in the Driver Information Centre 3 100.
The brake system remains
operational but without ABS
regulation.
If control indicators u, F , R and C
illuminate, there is a fault in the
braking system. A correspondingmessage appears in the Driver
Information Centre. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.

136Driving and operating● the defrosting function is notactivated
● the climate control system does not inhibit an Autostop
● the brake vacuum is sufficient
● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
3 138
● the Antilock brake system (ABS) 3 146, Traction Control system
(TC) 3 147 and Electronic
Stability Program (ESP® Plus
)
3 148 ride control systems are
not actively engaged
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may also inhibit an Autostop.
See " Climate control " chapter for
further information 3 116.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 130.Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.
Restart of the engine by the driver
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.
Alternatively, press button Î to
restart the engine while in an
Autostop.
Control indicator Ï 3 99 extinguishes
in the instrument cluster when the engine is restarted.
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
The selector lever must be in neutral
to enable an automatic restart.If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system:
● the vehicle battery is discharged
● the outside temperature is too low or too high (e.g. below 0 °C
or above 30 °C)
● the defrosting function is activated 3 116
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the brake pedal is operated repeatedly
● the vehicle starts to move
An 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 engine restart may be
noticeable.
If the Infotainment system is active,
audio sound may briefly be reduced
or interrupted during the restart.

146Driving and operatingControl indicator R 3 96.
Vehicle messages 3 101.
Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS 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.
After starting-off, the system performs
a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 97.
Fault
If control indicator u does not go out
a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, or if it illuminates whiledriving, there is a fault in the ABS.
Control indicator F 3 96 may also
illuminate in the instrument cluster
together with a corresponding
message in the Driver Information
Centre. 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, F , R 3 96
and C 3 96 illuminate, there is a fault
in the braking system. A
corresponding message also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 100. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 101.
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.

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.

Appearance care
Exterior care
Locks The locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylinder
grease. Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has adegreasing effect and impairs lockfunction. After using a de-icing agent,
have the locks regreased by a
workshop.
Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences, therefore wash your vehicle regularly.
When using automatic vehicle
washes, we recommend one with
textile brushes and a programme
without wax additives. Restrictions for
filmed or matt painted body parts or
decor tapes, see "Polishing and
waxing".
Never use a steam-jet or high-
pressure jet cleaner for the engine
compartment.Wax painted parts of the vehicle
regularly.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain
aggressive constituents which can
cause paint damage.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's
instructions. The windscreen wipers
and rear window wiper must be
switched off and the exterior mirrors
must be folded in. Remove antenna
and external accessories such as roof
racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.
Clean bright metal mouldings with a
cleaning solution approved for
aluminium, to avoid damage.

Service and maintenance203Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 206.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only silicate-free long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for thevehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -28 °C.
This concentration should be
maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that
intend to give additional corrosionprotection or seal against minor leaks
can cause function problems. Liability
for consequences resulting from the
use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Washer fluid Use only washer fluid approved for
the vehicle to prevent damage of
wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and
rubber parts. Consult a workshop.
Brake fluid
Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
AdBlue Only use AdBlue to reduce the
nitrogen oxides in the exhaust
emission 3 139.
