Infotainment system201OperationIntroduction
When a Bluetooth connection has
been set up between a mobile phone and the hands-free phone system,
certain functions of the mobile phone
can be operated via the Infotainment
system controls or display.
It is then possible, e.g., to import the
contacts and telephone numbers stored on the mobile phone into the
handsfree phone system.
Note
The Infotainment system memory is
restricted and some the contacts may not be downloaded from the
mobile phone.
The contacts saved on the SIM card
in the mobile phone are not visible.
Only contacts saved on the phone
are visible.
After connection, the mobile phone
data is transmitted to the handsfree
phone system. This can take some
time, depending on phone model.
During this period, operation of themobile phone is possible via the
Infotainment system only to a limited
extent.
Note
Not every mobile phone supports
the functions of the handsfree phone
system. Therefore, deviations from
the range of functions described are possible.

Driving and operating225Driving hints
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. When activated ECO
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
During driving, it is possible to
temporarily disable ECO mode, e.g. to increase engine performance, by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly.
ECO mode is reactivated when
pressure is reduced on the
accelerator pedal.
Deactivation
Press ECO again. ECO disappears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Driver Information Centre 3 105.
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there may be a controlled
reduction in power steering assist and
vehicle speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 228.Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver's side.
Driving downhill
Engage a gear when driving downhill
to ensure that sufficient brake
pressure is available.
Steering If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a
system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.Caution
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and
is held in that position for more
226Driving and operatingthan 15 seconds, damage may
occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.Starting 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.
Limit the engine speed to 2,500/min for the first 1,500 km.
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 3 228.
Diesel particle filter 3 233.
Ignition switch positions Turn key:0:ignition off: Some functions
remain active until key is
removed or driver's door is
opened, provided the ignition was
on previously1:accessory power mode: Steering wheel lock released, some
electrical functions are operable,
ignition is off2:ignition is on, diesel engine is
preheating. Control indicators
illuminate and most electrical
functions are operable3:engine start: Release key after
starting procedure begins
Driving and operating227Steering wheel lockRemove key from ignition switch and
turn steering wheel until it engages.9 Danger
Never remove the key from
ignition switch during driving as
this will cause steering wheel lock.
Starting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch.
Manual transmission automated:
operate brake; transmission
automatically shifts to N.
Do not accelerate.
Turn the key to position 2 for
preheating, and hold until control
indicator N extinguishes from the
Driver Information Centre.
Note
Depending on vehicle, if a gear is
engaged during preheating, a
message may appear in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 105
indicating that the clutch pedal must be depressed when starting the
engine.
Turn key to position 3 and release.
The increased engine speed
automatically returns to normal idling
speed as the engine temperature
rises.
Start attempts should not last longer
than 15 seconds. If engine does not
start, wait 15 seconds before
repeating starting procedure. If
necessary, depress accelerator
before repeating starting procedure.
Note
Rear-wheel drive with twin rear
wheels and front-wheel drive: When
starting on a level surface with anunladen vehicle, it is recommended
that second gear is selected when
starting off.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn key back to 0.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Stop-start system 3 228.
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.
