104Driving and operatingPower 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 The engine is restarted in the
following cases:
● brake pedal released while the selector lever in position D or M
● brake pedal released or selector lever in position N when selector
lever is moved to position D or
M
● selector lever moved to position RRestart 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:
● stop-start system manually deactivated
● driver's seat belt unfastened and driver's door opened
● engine temperature too low
● charging level of vehicle battery below a defined level
● brake vacuum not sufficient
● vehicle driven at least at walking speed
● climate control system requests engine start
● air conditioning manually switched on
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart might be noticeable.Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector
lever to position P. On an uphill
slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position
P . Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close the windows.
● Switch off the engine.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch or switch off
ignition on vehicles with power

Vehicle care165the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Washer fluid
Fill with clean water mixed with a
suitable quantity of approved
windscreen washer fluid which
contains antifreeze.
Caution
Only washer fluid with a sufficient
antifreeze concentration provides
protection at low temperatures or
a sudden drop in temperature.
Washer fluid 3 199.
Brakes In the event of minimum thickness of
the brake lining, a squealing noise
sounds during braking.
Continued driving is possible but
have the brake lining replaced as
soon as possible.
Once new brake linings are installed,
do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
Brake fluid9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.
The brake fluid level must be betweenthe MIN and MAX marks.
If fluid level is below MIN seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Brake and clutch fluid 3 199.
Vehicle battery
The vehicle battery is maintenance-
free provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.

166Vehicle care
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
four weeks can lead to battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
Battery discharge protection 3 87.
Replacing the vehicle battery Notice
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this section may lead to
temporary deactivation or
disturbance of the stop-start system.
When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal. If a
ventilation hole is open in this area, it
must be closed off with a dummy cap, and the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Ensure that the battery is always
replaced by the same type of battery.
The vehicle battery has to be
replaced by a workshop.
Stop-start system 3 102.
Charging the vehicle battery9 Warning
On vehicles with stop-start
system, ensure that the charging potential does not exceed 14.6 V
when using a battery charger.
Otherwise the vehicle battery may be damaged.
Jump starting 3 189.
Discharge protection
Battery voltage
When the vehicle battery voltage is
running low, a warning message will
appear in the Driver Information
Centre.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear
window, heated steering wheel, etc.
The deactivated functions are
reactivated automatically as soon as
conditions permit.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must
be increased. This will be achieved by
an idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Power outlet
The power outlets are deactivated in
the event of low vehicle battery
voltage.

Vehicle care167Warning label
Meaning of symbols:● No sparks, naked flames or smoking.
● Always shield eyes. Explosive gases can cause blindness or
injury.
● The vehicle battery contains sulphuric acid which could cause
blindness or serious burn
injuries.
● Keep the vehicle battery out of reach of children.
● See the Owner's Manual for further information.
● Explosive gas may be present in the vicinity of the vehicle battery.
Power saving mode This mode deactivates electrical
consumers to avoid excessive
discharging of the vehicle battery.
These consumers, such as the
Infotainment system, windscreen
wipers, low beam headlights,
courtesy light, etc. can be used for a
total maximum time of about
40 minutes after ignition is switched
off.
Changing into power saving mode
When power saving mode is
activated, a message appears in the
Driver Information Centre.
An active telephone call using the
hands-free option will be maintained
for around 10 minutes longer.Deactivating power saving mode
Power saving mode is deactivatedautomatically when the engine is
restarted. Run the engine for a
sufficient charge:
● for less than 10 minutes to use the consumers for approx.
5 minutes
● for more than 10 minutes to use the consumers for up to approx.
30 minutes
Heating functionalities Notice
Individual heating functionalities,
such as heated seats or heated
steering wheel, may be temporarily
unavailable in the event of electrical
loading constraints. Functions will be resumed after some minutes.

Vehicle care1839. Connect the compressor plug tothe power outlet or cigarette
lighter socket 3 58.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the
engine.
10. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is filled
with sealant.
11. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to
600 kPa (6 bar) whilst the sealant
bottle is emptying (approx.
30 seconds). Then the pressure
starts to drop.
12. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is being
inflated.
13. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within
10 minutes.
Tyre pressure 3 208.
When the correct pressure is
obtained, switch off the
compressor.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Drain excess tyre pressure with
the button on the air hose.
Do not run the compressor longer
than 10 minutes.
14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Remove
sealant bottle from bracket. Screw the filler hose to the free
connection of the sealant bottle.
This prevents sealant from
escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in
load compartment.
15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
