Lighting107Battery discharge protection
Vehicle battery state of charge
function
The function guarantees longest
vehicle battery life via a generator with controllable power output and
optimised power distribution.
To prevent discharge of the vehicle
battery when driving, the following
systems are reduced automatically in two stages and finally switched off:
● auxiliary heater
● heated rear window and heated mirrors
● heated seats
● fan
In the second stage, a message
which confirms the activation of the
vehicle battery discharge protection
will be displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.Switching off interior lights
To prevent discharge of the vehicle
battery when the ignition is switched off, some interior lights are switched
off automatically after some time.

Driving and operating123the engine and ignition while
driving only when required in case
of emergency.
Steering wheel lock
The steering wheel lock activates
automatically when:
● The vehicle is stationary.
● The ignition has been switched off.
To release steering wheel lock, open
and close driver's door and switch the
ignition on power mode or start the
engine directly.
9 Warning
If the vehicle battery is discharged,
the vehicle must not be towed,
tow-started or jump-started as the
steering wheel lock cannot be
disengaged.
Operation in case of failure
If either the electronic key fails or the
battery of the electronic key is weak,
the Driver Information Centre may
display No Remote Detected or
Replace Battery in Remote Key when
you try to start the vehicle.
Hold the electronic key with buttons
outside at the marking on the steering column cover as shown in the
illustration.
Operate the clutch pedal, the brake
pedal and press Start/Stop. Release
the button after starting procedure begins.
This option is intended for
emergencies only. Replace the
electronic key battery as soon as
possible 3 22.
For unlocking or locking the doors,
see fault in radio remote control unit
or electronic key system 3 23.
Starting the engine
Vehicles with ignition switch
● Turn key to position 1.
● Move the steering wheel slightly to release the steering wheel
lock.
● Manual transmission: operate clutch and brake pedal.
● Automatic transmission: operate brake pedal and move selector
lever to P or N.

124Driving and operating●Do not operate accelerator pedal.
● Diesel engines: wait until control indicator ! extinguishes.
● Turn key to position 2 and
release after the engine has been started.
Manual transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be started
by depressing the clutch pedal
3 125.
Automatic transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be started
by releasing the brake pedal 3 125.
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 Start/Stop button. Release
button after starting procedure
begins.
● Diesel engine starts after control indicator ! for preheating
extinguishes.
● Before restarting or to switch off the engine when vehicle is
stationary, press 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 3 125.
● Automatic transmission: during an Autostop, the engine can be
started by releasing the brake
pedal 3 125.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. 5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in position
P .
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully
protect the engine.

126Driving and operatingDuring an Autostop, the heating and
brake performance will be
maintained.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled.
● The stop-start system is not manually deactivated.
● The driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened.
● The vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition.
● The engine is warmed up.
● The engine coolant temperature is not too high.
● The engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load.
● The ambient temperature is not too low or too high.
● The climate control system allows an Autostop.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.● The self-cleaning function of the exhaust filter is not active.
● The vehicle was driven at least at
walking speed since the last
Autostop.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Notice
The Autostop may be inhibited for
several hours after a battery
replacement or reconnection.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
Climate control chapter for more
details 3 109.
If an autostop is temporarily not
available, D flashes green 3 86.
Immediately after driving at a higher
speed an Autostop may be inhibited.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features such as auxiliary electric
heater or rear window heating are
disabled or switched to a power
saving mode. The fan speed of the
climate control system is reduced to
save power.
Restart of the engine by the driver
Vehicles with manual transmission
Depress the clutch pedal without
depressing the brake pedal to restart
the engine.
Vehicles with automatic transmission The engine is restarted if
● the brake pedal is released while
the selector lever is in position D
or M
● or the brake pedal is released or the selector lever is in position N
when the selector lever is moved
to position D or M
● or the selector lever is moved to position R.

Driving and operating127Restart 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 stop-start system is manually deactivated.
● The driver's seat belt is unfastened or the driver's door is
opened.
● The engine temperature is too low.
● The charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level.
● The brake vacuum is not sufficient.
● The climate control system requests an engine start.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart might be noticeable.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 the parking brake. Activate the parking
brake without pressing the
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 or set the selector
lever to position P. On an uphill
slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position
P . Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close the windows.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch or switch off
ignition on vehicles with power
button. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock is
felt to engage.
● Lock the vehicle with e on the
radio remote control.

speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for

134Driving and operatingKickdown
Pressing down the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown detent will lead to maximum acceleration
independent of selected driving
mode. The transmission shifts to a
lower gear depending on engine
speed.
