Some of the displayed functions differ
when the vehicle is being driven or at a standstill. Some functions are only
available when the vehicle is being
driven.
Info Display The central display in the
Infotainment system displays the time
(and / or outside temperature,
depending on version) and
Infotainment system information.
Press X to switch the Infotainment

Lighting111Automatic headlight activation
During poor lighting conditions the
headlights are switched on.
Additionally, headlights are switched
on if the windscreen wiper has been
activated for several wipes.
High beam
To change between low and high
beam, pull lever beyond the
resistance point.
High beam assist
This feature automatically activates
the high beam at night when vehicle
speed is faster than 45 km/h.
It switches automatically back to low
beam when:
● The camera in the windscreen detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.
If there are no restrictions detected, the system switches back to high
beam.
ActivationTurn the outer light switch to AUTO
then pull the lever to activate high
beam assist.
The control indicator f illuminates
continuously in the instrument cluster when the assist is activated, while the
blue control indicator 7 3 103
illuminates when high beam is on.
Control indicator f 3 103.
Note
Use of the system does not relieve
the driver from full responsibility for
vehicle operation.
Deactivation
Pull the lever again. Control indicator
f extinguishes.
High beam assist is also deactivated when the outer light switch is moved
out of the AUTO position or the
ignition is switched off.
Note
Depending on version, the system
can be also deactivated via the
Infotainment system. Refer to
Infotainment manual for further
information.

General information
Depending on version, in the
Infotainment unit (or on the
instrument panel) there is a USB
socket M for the connection of external
audio sources.
Note
The socket must always be kept
clean and dry.
An MP3 player, USB drive, iPod or
smartphone can be connected to the
USB port.
These devices are operated via the
controls and menus of the
Infotainment system.
Important informationMP3 player and USB drives ● The MP3 players and USB drives
connected must comply with the
USB Mass Storage Class
specification (USB MSC).
● Only MP3 players and USB drives with a sector size of
512 Bytes and a cluster size smaller or equal to 32 kBytes in
the FAT32 file system are
supported.
● Hard disk drives (HDD) are not supported.
● The following restrictions apply for the data stored on an MP3
Player or USB device:
Only MP3 files, WMA and
(depending on Infotainment
system) ACC files can be read.
WAV files and all other
compressed files cannot be
played.
228Driving and operatingIdle speed control
To increase the idle speed press the
switch. After a few seconds the
function will be activated.
The function will be deactivated
when:
● The clutch pedal is depressed.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed.
● The manual transmission automated is not in N (neutral).
● Vehicle speed is above 0 km/h. ● Control indicator j, W or C
illuminate in the instrument
cluster.
To increase or decrease the fast idle
speed rate, consult a workshop.
Note
When the fast idle function is
activated, the stop-start system is
automatically deactivated.
Stop-start system 3 228.
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.It restarts the engine automatically as
soon as the clutch pedal is depressed (manual transmission) or the brake
pedal is released (manual
transmission automated).
A vehicle battery sensor ensures that
an Autostop is only performed if the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged
for a restart.
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.
If the below conditions are not
fulfilled, an Autostop is prohibited and
control indicator \ illuminates in the
instrument cluster 3 103.
230Driving and operating● the vehicle battery is sufficientlycharged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high
● the ambient temperature is not too low
● the altitude is not too high
● the slope is not too steep
● the defrosting function is not activated
● the parking assist is not in operation
● the climate control system does not inhibit an Autostop
● the rear air conditioning system is
not activated
● the brake vacuum is sufficient
● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
3 233
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.An Autostop may become
unavailable as the ambient
temperature approaches freezing
point.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may also inhibit an Autostop.
See "Climate control" chapter for
further information 3 208.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 226.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
Restart of the engine by the driverManual transmission
With the selector lever in neutral,
depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Note
If any gear is selected, the clutch
pedal must be fully depressed to
restart the engine.If the engine does not restart first
time, depress clutch pedal fully again.Manual transmission automated
With the selector lever in position D,
M or N and the parking brake
released, release the brake pedal to
restart the engine.
Engaging reverse gear or depressing the accelerator pedal may also restart
the engine.
The control indicator Ï will extinguish
in the instrument cluster when the
engine is restarted. If certain
conditions are not fulfilled, a restart will not take place. Start using the
ignition key.
Starting the engine 3 227.
Bus
The engine is restarted automatically
when operating the power sliding
door switch on the instrument panel
during an Autostop.
