Caution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
engine. Danger to engine. Check
coolant level.
Engine oil level monitor
The state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre for a few seconds following
the service information after switching
on the ignition.
A proper state of engine oil level is
indicated by the message Oil level
correct .
If engine oil level is low, I flashes
and Oil level incorrect is indicated,
accompanied by the H indicator.
Confirm engine oil level by using the oil dipstick and top up engine oil
respectively.

A fault of measurement is indicated
by the message Oil level
measurement invalid . Check engine
oil level manually by using the
dipstick.
Instruments and controls103Service displayThe service system informs when to
change the engine oil and filter or a
vehicle service is required. Based on
driving conditions, the interval at
which an engine oil and filter change
is required can vary considerably.
Service information 3 250.
A required service due is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre for
seven seconds after switching on the ignition.
If no service is required for the next
3000 km or more no service
information appears in the display.
If service is required within the next
3000 km, the remaining distance or

message in the Driver Information
Centre which indicates the overdued
distance. < flashes and then lights up
permanently until service is executed.
Reset of service interval After each service, the service
indicator must be reset to ensure
proper functionality. It is
recommended to seek the assistance
of a workshop.
If service is executed by yourself,
operate as following:
● switch off ignition
● press and hold button M or
CHECK
● switch on ignition, the distance indication begins a countdown

Engine lubrication may be
interrupted. This may result in
damage to the engine and / or
locking of the drive wheels.
1. Depress clutch.
2. Select neutral gear, set selector lever to N.
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.
Check engine oil level before seeking
the assistance of a workshop 3 213.

144Driving and operatingDriving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running
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.
Stop-start system 3 148.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must
be increased. This will be achieved by an idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
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.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.
Additionally, the cleaning process of
the exhaust filter may take place more
often.
Exhaust filter 3 152.
Autostop may be inhibited to allow
charging of the vehicle battery.
Ignition switch positions Turn key:
148Driving and operatingEmergency shut off during driving
If the engine needs to be switched off during driving in case of emergency,
press Start/Stop for five seconds.9Danger
Switching off the engine during
driving may cause loss of power
support for brake and steering
systems. Assistance systems and
airbag systems are disabled.
Lighting and brake lights will
extinguish. Therefore power down the engine and ignition while
driving only when required in case of emergency.
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.
Heating functionalities Note
Individual heating functionalities,
such as heated seats or heated
steering wheel, may be temporarily
unavailable in the event of electrical
loading constraints. Functions will
be resumed after some minutes.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.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle
is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator pedal is released.
Depending on driving conditions, the
overrun cut-off may be deactivated.
Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a traffic jam.
