0050Solutions The steering wheel heat-
ing has switched off pre-
maturely or cannot be
switched on. The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical consum-
ers are switched on.
X Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as the
rear window defroster or interior lighting. EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature

Start/Stop button General notes
When you insert the Start/Stop button into the
ignition lock, the system needs approximately
two seconds recognition time. You can then use the Start/Stop button. Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in
succession corresponds to the different Smart-
Key positions in the ignition lock. This is only the
case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the Smart-
Key determines whether a valid SmartKey is in
the vehicle. This occurs, for example, when
starting the engine.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
SmartKey:
R the Start/Stop button must be inserted in the
ignition lock
R the SmartKey must be in the vehicle
R the vehicle must not be locked with the
SmartKey or KEYLESS-GO (Y page 75)
Do not keep the SmartKey:
R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another SmartKey
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can affect the functionality of the Smart-
Key.
Do not keep the SmartKey in the temperature-
controlled cup holder (Y page 281). Otherwise
the SmartKey will not be detected.
If you lock the vehicle with the SmartKey remote control or with KEYLESS-GO, after a short time:
R you will not be able to switch on the ignition
with the Start/Stop button
R you will not be able to start the engine with the
Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the front door (Y page 80), you can continue
to start the engine with the Start/Stop button.
The engine can be switched off while the vehicle
is in motion by pressing and holding the Start/
Stop button for three seconds. This function
operates independently of the ECO start/stop
automatic engine switch-off function. Driving

Refueling
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. Risk of fire and
explosion by improper handling of fuel.
You must avoid fire, open flames, smoking
and creating sparks. Switch off the ignition
before refueling and, if present, switch off the auxiliary heating. G
WARNING
Fuels are toxic and harmful to health. There is a risk of injury.
You must avoid fuels coming into contact with
skin, eyes and clothes or being swallowed.
Do not inhale the fuel vapors. Keep children
away from fuels.
Keep doors and windows closed during the
refueling process.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following points:
R Immediately rinse the fuel off your skin with
soap and water.
R If you get fuel into your eyes, immediately
rinse your eyes throughly with clean water.
Seek medical attention immediately.
R Seek medical attention immediately if fuel
has been swallowed. Do not induce vomit-
ing.
R Immediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel. G
WARNING
Electrostatic charging can lead to the creation
of sparks and ignite fuel vapor. There is a risk of fire and explosion.
Touch the metallic body of the vehicle before
you open the fuel filler cap or handle the pump nozzle. Any possible electrostatic charge
present will in this way be depleted.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the
refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic
charge could build up again. !
Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the ignition if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel.
Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel system. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system and the
engine. Notify a qualified specialist workshop
and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained
completely.
! Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
fuel system.
! Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
! Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel can.
The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection system could otherwise be blocked by particles fromthe fuel can.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the refu-
eling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge
could build up again.
If you overfill the fuel tank, fuel could spray out
when the fuel pump nozzle is removed.
