Driving economically ECO mode
ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
Activation
Press ECO. Control indicator ECO
illuminates in the instrument cluster when activated.

Driving and operating131Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
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 and the cleaning process of
the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging the
vehicle battery.
Stop-start system 3 135.
Diesel particle filter 3 139.

Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may also inhibit an Autostop.
See " Climate control " chapter for
further information 3 118.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 131.Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.
Restart of the engine by the driver
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Notice
If any gear is selected, the clutch
pedal must be fully depressed to
restart the engine.
The engine restart may be interrupted
if the clutch pedal is released too
quickly while a gear is engaged.
If the engine does not restart first
time, depress clutch pedal fully again.
Alternatively, press button Î to
restart the engine while in an
Autostop.
Control indicator Ï 3 100
extinguishes in the instrument cluster when the engine is restarted.Restart of the engine by the stop-
start system
The selector lever must be in neutral to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system:
● the vehicle battery is discharged
● the outside temperature is too low or too high (e.g. below 0 °C
or above 35 °C)
● the defrosting function is activated 3 118
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the brake pedal is operated repeatedly
● the vehicle starts to move
An automatic engine restart may not
be possible if a door or the bonnet is
open.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during engine restart may be
noticeable.

Driving and operating139Engine exhaust9Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
soot particles out of the exhaust
gases. The system includes a self-
cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification.
The filter is cleaned by periodically
burning off the soot particles at high
temperature. This process takes
place automatically under set driving
conditions. Autostop is not available
and fuel consumption may be higher
during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this process is normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If cleaning of the filter is required and
if previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will be
indicated by the illumination of control
indicators j 3 97 and Z 3 97 in the
instrument cluster. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.Caution
If the cleaning process is
interrupted, there is a risk of
provoking severe engine damage.
Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on page 3 159 could damage the
catalytic converter or electronic
components.
Unburnt fuel will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of
the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual
problems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop as soon as
possible. In an emergency, driving
can be continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.

160Driving and operatingDiesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10 % Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester).
If travelling in countries outside the
European Union, occasional use of
Euro-Diesel fuel with a sulphur
concentration below 50 ppm is
possible.Caution
Frequent usage of diesel fuel containing more than 15 ppm
sulphur will cause severe engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 590 or similar can lead to
engine powerloss, increased wear
or engine damage and may affect
your warranty.
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating
oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-
water emulsions. Diesel fuels must
not be diluted with fuels for petrol
engines.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuels are temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with
diesel fuel with guaranteed winter
properties.
Diesel fuel filter 3 173.
Diesel fuel system bleeding 3 173.
Low temperature operation
At temperatures below 0 °C, some
diesel products with biodiesel blends
may clog, freeze or gel, which may
affect the fuel supply system. Starting
and engine operation may not work
properly. Make sure to fill winter
grade diesel fuel at ambient
temperatures below 0 °C.
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
in extreme cold temperatures below
-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor starting or damage to the fuel
injection system.Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers.
Vehicles with stop-start system:
The engine must be switched off
and the ignition key removed, to avoid risk of engine being
restarted automatically by the
system.
Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.

168Vehicle careWhen the engine oil level has
dropped to the MIN mark, top-up
engine oil.Caution
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level!
We recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
the last change.
Between the MIN and MAX marks a
volume of approx. 2.1 l for engines R9M 408, R9M 413 and R9M 415
respectively approx. 3.5 l for engines
R9M 450 and R9M 452 can be filled
in.
The engine oil level must not exceed the maximum mark MAX on the
dipstick.Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out. If the oil
exceeds the maximum level, do
not start the vehicle and contact a
workshop.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil, we
recommend using a funnel to top-up the engine oil. Ensure funnel is
securely located onto the filler pipe.
After topping-up, put the funnel into a
plastic bag and stow it securely.
A stabilization of the engine oil
consumption will not take place until
the vehicle has been driven several
thousand miles. Only then can the
actual degree of consumption be
established.
If consumption exceeds more than
0.6 l every 600 miles after this
running-in period, consult a
workshop.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Engine air filter
Engine air flow indicator
On certain models, an indicator is
located in the engine induction
system and indicates if the air-intake
to the engine is restricted.
