Switching is not possible at high loads (e.g. powerful acceleration, driving at
full throttle).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time, a
switchover inhibitor is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The inhibitor
remains active until the ignition is
switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected during petrol operation.
You must therefore adapt your driving style, e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres and high vehicle loads
(e.g. towing loads) accordingly.
The vehicle consumes petrol when
starting the engine and even when in
certain natural gas operating modes. The petrol consumption in natural gas
operating mode can vary depending
on driving behaviour (e.g. high load or
towing). In case of a low fuel level, a
corresponding message is displayed
as a reminder to refuel.
Notice
Always ensure that there is enough
petrol in the tank.
Fuel for natural gas operation 3 220.
Forced fuel mode transitionNatural gas tank is running low
As soon as the natural gas tank is
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged. Manually
engaging natural gas operation mode is not possible until natural gas
refuelling is detected.
Before the petrol fuel system runs empty, a warning message will be
displayed and cannot be dismissed.Petrol tank is running low while
natural gas is available
If the remaining petrol level in the tank falls below a certain level, natural gas
operation is automatically engaged
provided there is a sufficient natural
gas level in the tank. Manually
engaging petrol operation mode is not
possible.
Before both fuel systems run empty,
a warning message will be displayed
and cannot be dismissed.
Engine coolant temperaturegauge

Driving and operating161starting automatically until the engine
is running. Because of the checking
procedure, the engine starts running after a short delay.
Possible reasons for a non-starting engine:
● Clutch pedal not operated (manual transmission).
● Brake pedal not operated or selector lever not in P or N
(automatic transmission).
● Brake pedal not operated (manual transmission
automated).
● Timeout occurred.
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. The ignition stays on.
The engine switches on automatically
when certain conditions apply or
restart is activated by a driver.
Activation The stop-start system is available assoon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing D. The
deactivation is indicated when the
LED in the button illuminates.
Autostop
Vehicles with manual transmission
Depending on the engine, two
versions of an Autostop are available. See engine data to identify the engine
identifier code for your vehicle
3 286.
Conventional Autostop
All engines except B16DTU have only
the conventional Autostop.

Driving and operating181
Control indicator k illuminates.
A status message appears in the
Driver Information Centre when TC is
deactivated.
When TC is deactivated, ESC
remains active but with higher control threshold.
TC is reactivated by pressing b
again. A status message pops up in the Driver Information Centre when
TC is reactivated.
TC is also reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system the
control indicator b illuminates
continuously and a message appears in the Driver Information Centre. The
system is not operational.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually.
ESC operates in combination with the Traction Control system (TC). It
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
Torque distribution is a special
feature that allocates the torque to the drive wheels before the ESC
intervenes. When cornering, the
wheels on the inner curve are braked
individually. Additionally, engine
torque will be delivered to the drive wheel on the outer curve. This
reduces the tendency of
understeering and improves traction
when cornering fast.
ESC is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
b extinguishes.
When ESC operates b flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.

218Driving and operatingFuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
equivalent.
The engine is capable of running with
fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol
(e.g. named E10).
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating. A lower octane rating can reduce engine power and torque
and slightly increases fuel
consumption.
Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or equivalent can lead todeposits or engine damage.
Caution
Use of fuel with a lower octane
rating than the lowest possible
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
The engine-specific requirements
regarding octane rating are given in
the engine data overview 3 286. A
country-specific label at the fuel filler
flap can supersede the requirement.
Fuel additive
Fuel should contain detergent
additives that help prevent engine
and fuel system deposits from
forming. Clean fuel injectors and
intake valves will allow the emission
control system to work properly. In
certain countries fuel does not
contain sufficient quantities of
additive to keep fuel injectors and
intake valves clean. In these
countries a fuel additive is required for
some engines to make up for this lack
of detergency. Only use fuel additive
approved for the vehicle.
Adding fuel additive to the filled fuel
tank is required at least every 10,000 miles or after one year, whichever
occurs first. For further information,
contact your workshop.
Prohibited fuels
Fuels containing oxygenates such as
ethers and ethanol, as well as
reformulated fuel, are available in
some cities. If these fuels comply with the previously described
specification, then they are
acceptable to use. However, E85

must be stowed in the load
compartment and secured with a
strap. Vehicle tools 3 253. To secure
the wheel:
1. Position the wheel outside up close to one sidewall of the load
compartment.
2. Place the loop end of the strap through the front lashing eye on
the appropriate side.
