Instruments and controls87In extreme situations, the system may
also switch back to petrol mode if the
minimum requirements are not
fulfilled. If conditions allow, it may be
possible to manually switch back to
liquid gas operation.
Seek the assistance of a workshop in
the event of all other faults.Caution
Repairs and adjustments may only
be made by trained specialists in
order to maintain the safety and
warranty on the LPG system.
Liquid gas is given a particular odour
(odorised) so that any leaks can be
detected easily.
9 Warning
If you smell gas in the vehicle or in
the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No
smoking. No naked flames or
ignition sources.
If the gas odour persists, do not start
the engine. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.
When using underground car parks,
follow the instructions of the operator
and local laws.
Note
In the event of an accident, switch off
the ignition.

Service display
The engine oil life system informs
when to change the engine oil and
filter. Based on driving conditions, the interval at which an engine oil and
filter change will be indicated can vary
considerably.
When the system has calculated that
engine oil life has diminished, a
warning message appears in the
Driver Information Centre. Have
engine oil and filter changed by a
workshop within one week or
500 km (whichever occurs first).
88Instruments and controls
The remaining oil life duration menu
is displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 97.
On Midlevel display select the
Option ? Menu by pressing
MENU on the turn signal lever. Turn
the adjuster wheel to select the
Remaining Oil Life page.
On Uplevel display select the Info Q
Menu by pressing MENU on the turn
signal lever. Turn the adjuster wheel
to select Oil Life page.
Remaining oil life duration is indicated
in percentage.
ResetPress SET/CLR on turn signal lever
for several seconds to reset. The
engine oil life page must be active.
The ignition must be switched on but
engine not running.
The system must be reset every time
the engine oil is changed to allow
proper functionality. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Next service A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre, when
maintenance of the vehicle is
required. Have maintenance workcarried out by a workshop within one week or 500 km, whichever occursfirst.

3. Move out of the flow of traffic as
quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles.
4. Switch off ignition.9 Warning
When the engine is off,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer. During an
Autostop the brake servo unit will still be operational.
Do not remove key until vehicle is stationary, otherwise the steeringwheel lock could engage
unexpectedly.
Keep engine turned off and let the
vehicle be towed to a workshop

Driving and operating129Driving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 134.
Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Use 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.
A vehicle message will be displayed
in the Info Display.Caution
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and
is held in that position for more
than 10 seconds, damage may
occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.
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 and the cleaning process of the exhaust filter may take place more
often. Autostop may be inhibited to
allow for charging the battery.
Exhaust filter 3 137.
Driving and operating133Turn the key briefly to position 3 and
release: an automatic procedure
operates the starter with a short delay
as long as the engine is running, see
'Automatic Starter Control'.
Manual transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be restarted
by depressing the clutch pedal
3 134.
Automatic transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be restarted
by releasing the brake pedal 3 134.
Vehicles with power button
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedal.
Automatic transmission: operate
brake pedal and move selector lever
to P or N.
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Press and release Engine Start/Stop:
an automatic procedure operates the
starter with a short delay until the
engine is running, see 'Automatic
Starter Control'.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine when vehicle is stationary, press Engine Start/Stop once more
briefly.
To start the engine during an
Autostop:
● Manual transmission: during an Autostop, the engine can be
started by depressing the clutch
pedal 3 134.
● Automatic transmission: during an Autostop, the engine can be
started by releasing the brake
pedal 3 134.Key lock release
Some vehicles with an automatic
transmission are equipped with an
electronic key lock release system.
The key lock release is designed to
prevent ignition key removal unless
the selector lever is in P.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
Starting the engine without additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for
diesel engines and -30 °C for petrol
engines. Required is an engine oil
with the correct viscosity, the correct
fuel, performed services and a
sufficiently charged vehicle battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C, the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx.
five minutes. The selector lever must
be in position P.
Automatic Starter Control
This function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not need to hold the key in position 3
or to hold Engine Start/Stop pressed.
Once applied, the system will go on
