The asymmetrical headlight beam
extends visibility at the edge of the
road at the passenger side.
However, when driving in countries
where traffic drives on the opposite
side of the road, adjust the headlights to prevent dazzling of oncoming
traffic.
Have the headlights adjusted by a
workshop.
Daytime running lights Daytime running lights increase
visibility of the vehicle during daylight.
The lights operate automatically
when the ignition is switched on.
If the vehicle is equipped with the
automatic light control function, the
system switches between daytime
running lights and headlights
automatically depending on the
lighting conditions.

AdBlue
General information The selective catalytic reduction is a
method to substantially reduce the
nitrogen oxides in the exhaust
emission. This is achieved by
injecting a Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) into the exhaust system.
The designation of this fluid is
AdBlue ®
. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32% urea and
68% water.9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
Level warnings
The AdBlue consumption is approx.
3.5 l per 600 miles (810 mpg) and
depends on the driving behaviour.
AdBlue gauge 3 93.
Version with level warnings in the
Driver Information Centre
If the AdBlue level falls below a
certain value, a level warning will be displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 104.
Additionally, control indicator ú
illuminates continuously together with
a warning chime.
Refill the AdBlue tank as soon as
possible. Refer to "Refilling AdBlue"
below.
If AdBlue is not refilled within a certain distance, further level warnings are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre depending on the current
AdBlue level.
154Driving and operatingwarning may sound as a signal to
depress the brake pedal or apply the
parking brake.
Switch off engine if stopping for a
lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams.
When the vehicle is parked and the
driver's door is opened, a warning
chime will sound if neutral is not
selected or the brake pedal has not
been depressed.
Engine braking
Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not
shift into higher gears until a fairly
high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud, snow or a hole. Move the
selector lever between R and A/M (or
between + and -) in a repeat pattern,
while applying light pressure to the
accelerator pedal. Do not race the
engine and avoid sudden
acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most
recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off, the
transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
If the ignition is not switched off, or the
parking brake has not been applied, a
warning chime will sound upon
opening the driver's door.
Manual mode If a higher gear is selected when the
engine speed is too low, or a lower
gear when the speed is too high, theshift is not executed. This prevents
the engine from running at too low or too high an engine speed.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
If engine speed is too high, the
transmission only switches to a higher gear via kickdown.

Driving and operating1579Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
If control indicators u, j , R and
C illuminate, the ABS and ESC are
deactivated and the message
BRAKING FAULT is shown in the
Driver Information Centre. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake9 Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever.
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal at the same time.
Control indicator R 3 100.
Parking 3 141.
Retractable parking brake
Depending on vehicle, the parking
brake lever retracts to the horizontal
position even with the parking brake
applied.
To release the parking brake, press the release button and pull the lever
up slightly, then return the lever to the
horizontal position.
To apply the parking brake, pull the
lever up then release it. The lever
returns to the horizontal position.
Driving and operating165Switching off the system
Press U.
Yellow control indicator U
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Maximum speed limiterIn accordance with local or national
regulations, the vehicle may be
equipped with a fixed maximum
speed limiter that cannot be disabled.
If equipped, a warning label indicating the fixed maximum speed limit (55 to
80 mph) is located on the instrument
panel.
Deviations from the maximum speed
limit may occur briefly when driving
downhill, for physical reasons.
A warning chime may sound for
10 seconds if the vehicle briefly
exceeds the set limit.
Vehicles also equipped with speed
limiter: the maximum speed cannot
be exceeded by depressing the
accelerator pedal firmly beyond the
point of resistance.Active emergency braking
Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles directly ahead,
when a collision can no longer be
avoided either by manual braking or
by steering. The feature uses various
inputs (e.g. camera sensor, radar
sensor, brake pressure, vehicle
speed) to calculate the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system only detects vehicles
driving in the same direction of
traffic.
After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
Operation conditions
The system is operational at a vehicle
speed between 10 mph and 62 mph.
Activation
The system is automatically active
when the ignition is switched on.
Functionality
When driving in the speed range
mentioned above and a risk of
collision with the vehicle ahead is
imminent, l will flash and a warning
chime sounds.
The indicator light l and the chimes
stop when the system detects that a
collision is not imminent anymore.
Just before the imminent collision, the system brakes automatically to
reduce the impact speed of the
collision or prohibit a crash.
Driving and operating167●detecting a vehicle when weather

● windscreen damaged or affected
by foreign objects, e.g. stickers
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and / or steer the vehicle to
avoid crashes.
Fault
In case the system requires a service,
a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
Additionally, warning lights l and
j illuminate at the same time.
When the system detects that its
function is not available, warning light l or j illuminates and stays on.
Additionally, a message in the Driver
Information Centre appears. The
system may be temporarily disrupted(for example: radar or camera
obscured by dirt, mud, snow etc.). In
this case, park the vehicle and switch
off the engine. Clean the windscreen
area around the camera and the
detection zone of the radar in the front bumper. When the warning lights and
messages still appear after starting
the vehicle again, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the rear parking assist system.
The parking assist measures the
distance between the vehicle and
obstacles behind the vehicle. It
informs and warns the driver by giving acoustic signals.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Notice
Attached parts in the detection area
cause system malfunction.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system switches itself on
automatically. Readiness for
operation is indicated by a brief
acoustic signal.
The interval between the acoustic
signals becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm, the signal is continuous.
Driving and operating171● the rear doors are not closedcorrectly
● the vehicle had a rear-end accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
Lane departure warning The lane departure warning system
uses a front camera to observe the
lane markings between which the
vehicle is driving. The system detects
lane changes and warns the driver in
the event of an unintended lane
change via visual and acoustic
signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
● no operation of turn lights
● no active steering
If the driver is performing these
actions, no warning will be issued.Activation
The lane departure warning system is activated by pressing ì in the roof
console. The LED in the button
extinguishes to indicate that the
system is switched on.
When control indicator ì 3 101
illuminates in the instrument cluster,
the system is ready to operate. A
corresponding message also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 104.
Control indicator ì extinguishes
when the system is not ready to warn the driver.
The system is only operable at
vehicle speeds above approx.
37 mph and if lane markings are
available and detected.
If the turn lights are not operated
when changing lanes, i.e. an
unintended lane change is detected,
