2. Replace battery with a battery of the same type. Pay attention to
the installation position.
3. Screw the cap in its place .

Driving and operating157Starting the vehicle at lowtemperatures
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. 5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in position
P .
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.
Activation The stop-start system is available as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Without touchscreen
The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the button D is not
illuminated. To activate the system
when the system is deactivated,
press D. If the stop-start system is
temporarily not available and the
button D is pressed, the LED in the
button flashes.With touchscreen
The system can be activated in the
vehicle personalisation 3 124. If the
stop-start system is temporarily not
available, the control indicator D
flashes for a few seconds.
DeactivationWithout touchscreen
Press D to deactivate the stop-start
system. The deactivation is indicated
when the LED in the button
illuminates.

Driving and operating159Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop.
Climate control 3 141.
Immediately after higher speed
driving an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 153.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features such as auxiliary electric
heater or rear window heating are
disabled or switched to a power
saving mode. The fan speed of the
climate control system is reduced to
save power.
Restart of the engine by the driver
Vehicles with manual transmission
Depress the clutch pedal without
depressing the brake pedal to restart the engine.Vehicles with automatic transmission
Type A: The engine is restarted if
● the gear selector is in position D
with M activated or not and the
brake pedal is released
● the gear selector is in position N,
the brake pedal is released and
the gear selector is moved to
position D with M activated or not
● the gear selector is in position P,
the brake pedal is depressed and the gear selector is moved to
position R, N or D with M
activated or not
● the reverse gear is engaged
Type B: The engine is restarted if ● the gear selector is in position A
or M and the brake pedal is
released
● the gear selector is in position N,
the brake pedal is depressed and and the gear selector is moved toA or M
● the reverse gear is engagedRestart 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:
● depending on engine, vehicle speed exceeding 3 km/h or
25 km/h (manual transmission)
● vehicle speed exceeding 3 km/h (automatic transmission)
● stop-start system manually deactivated
● driver's door opened
● sliding door opened.
● driver's seat belt unfastened
● engine temperature too low
● charging level of vehicle battery below defined level
● brake vacuum not sufficient
● vehicle driven at least at walking speed

162Driving and operatingAdBlue
General information The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) 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 ammonia released by
the fluid reacts with nitrous gases
(NO x) from the exhaust and turns it
into nitrogen and water.
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.
Note
Frozen and again liquefied AdBlue is usable without quality loss.
The typical AdBlue consumption is
approx. 22 l per 10000 km to
15000 km depending on driving
behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).
Level warnings
Depending on the calculated range of AdBlue, different messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The messages and the
restrictions are a legal requirement.
1. The first possible warning is Top
up emissions additive: Starting
prevented in 2400 km .
When switching on the ignition,
this warning will show up once
briefly with the calculated range.
Additionally, control indicator
B will illuminate and a chime
will sound. Driving is possible
without any restrictions.
2. The next warning level is entered with a range below 800 km. Themessage with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Additionally, control indicator
B will illuminate and a chime
will sound. Refill AdBlue before
entering the next warning level.
When driving, the chime sounds
and the message is displayed
every 100 km until the AdBlue
tank has been topped-up.
3. The next warning level is entered with a range below 100 km. The
message with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Additionally, control indicator

204Driving and operatingFor more information, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.Caution
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure
or diluted, domestic fuel etc.) is
strictly prohibited (risk of damage
to the engine and fuel system).
Note
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the
B715000 standard.
Low temperature operation
At temperatures below 0 °C, some
diesel products with biodiesel blends may clog, freeze or gel, which mayaffect 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 low 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 on the fuel
injection system.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
ignition and any external heaters
with combustion chambers.
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 a smell of fuel can be noticed
inside the vehicle, have the cause of this remedied immediately by aworkshop.
A label with symbols at the fuel filler
flap is indicating the allowed fuel
types. In Europe the pump nozzles of
the filling stations are marked with
these symbols. Refuel only the
allowed fuel type.Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Fuel filler flap is located at left rear
side of vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with an
electronic key system, the fuel filler
flap can only be opened if the vehicle
is unlocked. Depending on the
