Operation
5. For a manual gearbox, engage 1st gear; for an aut
omatic gearbo x, mo
ve the gear
l e
ver to P.
6. Use the warning triangle to draw the at- tention of other road users to your vehicle.
7.
Always take the vehicle key with you when
you leave the vehicle.
All turn signal
s flash simultaneously when the
hazard warning lights are switched on. The
two turn signal turn signal lamps and the
turn signal lamp in the switch will flash at
the same time. The simultaneous hazard
warning lights also work when the ignition is
switched off.
Emergency braking warning
If the vehicle brakes suddenly and continu-
ously at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50
mph), the brake light flashes several times per
second to warn the vehicles driving behind. If
you continue braking, the hazard warning
lights will come on automatically when the
vehicle comes to a standstill. They switch off
automatically when the vehicle starts to
move again. WARNING

Additional information related to the auto-
matic gearbo x
The engine st ops when the sel ect
or le
v
er is in
the positions P, D, N and S in addition to when
in Tiptronic mode. With the selector lever in P,
the engine will also remain switched off when
you take your foot off the brake pedal. In or-
der to start the engine up again the accelera-
tor must be pressed, or another gear engag-
ed or the brake released.
If the selector lever is placed in R while stop-
ped, the engine will start up again.
Change from D to P to prevent the engine
from accidentally starting when passing
through R.
Additional information about vehicles with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
In vehicles with ACC function, the engine will
start up again in certain operating conditions
if the radar sensor detects that the vehicle
ahead drives off again. WARNING

Start and driving
Stop/Park
On l e
vel gr
ound, just use the l e
v
er to engage
position P. On slopes you should first apply
the parking brake and then set the lever to P.
This makes it easier to remove the lever from
position P when starting.
If the driver door is opened and the lever is
not in position P, the vehicle could move. The
following warning is displayed on the instru-
ment panel:

Start and driving
The assistant attempts to maintain the speed
at which the v ehicl
e was tr
avelling when the
br ak
e was applied, within logical limits. It may
be necessary to correct the speed by press-
ing the brake.
The assistant can only change down as far
as 3rd gear. It is possible that on very steep
slopes you have to switch to tiptronic mode
and change down to 2nd or 1st gear to take
advantage of engine braking and take the
load off the brake system.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as
soon as the road levels out again or you press
the accelerator pedal.

Driving
The ACC adapts the cruising speed of the
v ehicl
e, k
eeping a saf e dist
ance aw
ay from
the vehicle in front, if there is one, depending
on speed.
When driving behind another vehicle, the
ACC reduces speed until it is the same as
that of the vehicle ahead and maintains the
set distance between the vehicles. If the vehi-
cle ahead accelerates, the ACC also accel-
erates the vehicle, going no higher than the
programmed target speed.
If the vehicle is equipped with automatic
gearbox, the ACC can brake the vehicle until
it stops completely if a vehicle in front of it
stops.
The distance programmed should be in-
creased when the road surface is wet.
Driver intervention prompt
ACC is subject to certain limitations inherent
to the system. In other words, in certain cir-
cumstances the driver will have to adjust the
speed and the distance from other vehicles.
In this case, the instrument panel screen will
warn you to intervene by applying the brake
and a warning tone will be heard
