● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or theinstrument panel, and do notcover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or
hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown

Control indicator m 3 68.
The electric parking brake can always
be activated, even if the ignition is off.
Do not operate electric parking brake
system too often without engine
running as this will discharge the
vehicle battery.
Releasing
Switch on ignition. Keep foot brake
pedal depressed and then push
switch j.
Drive away function
Vehicles with manual transmission:
Depressing the clutch pedal and then slightly releasing the clutch pedal and
slightly depressing the accelerator
pedal releases the electric parking
brake automatically. This is only
possible if the automatic operation of
the electric parking brake is activated. It is not possible when switch j is
pulled at the same time.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: Engaging R, D or M and then
depressing the accelerator pedal
releases the electric parking brake
automatically. This is only possible if
the automatic operation of the electric

116Driving and operatingparking brake is activated. It is not
possible when switch j is pulled at
the same time.
Braking when vehicle is moving
When the vehicle is moving and the
switch j is kept pulled, the electric
parking brake system will decelerate the vehicle. As soon as the switch
j is released, braking will be
stopped.
The antilock brake system and the
Electronic Stability Control stabilise
the vehicle while the switch j is kept
pulled. If an error of the electric
parking brake occurs, a warning
message is displayed in the driver
information centre. If the antilock
brake system and the Electronic
Stability Control fail, one or both
indicators i and J illuminate in the
instrument cluster. In this case,
stability can only be provided by
repeatedly pulling and pushing the
switch j until the vehicle is
immobilised.Automatic operation
Automatic operation includes
automatic application and automatic
release of the electric parking brake.
The electric parking brake can also be
applied or released manually by using
the switch j.
Automatic application: ● The electric parking brake is automatically applied when the
vehicle is stationary and the
ignition is switched off.
● j illuminates in the instrument
cluster and a display message
pops up to confirm the
application.
Automatic release: ● Parking brake releases automatically after moving off.
● j extinguishes in the
instrument cluster and a display message pops up to confirm the
release.If the vehicle is equipped with an
automatic transmission and the brake is not released automatically, make
sure the front doors are correctly
closed.Deactivation of automatic operation 1. Start the engine.
2. If the parking brake is released, apply the parking brake pulling the
switch j.
3. Take your foot off the brake pedal.
4. Press the switch j for at least
10 seconds and maximum 15 seconds.
5. Release the switch j.
6. Press and hold the brake pedal.
7. Pull the switch j for 2 seconds.
The deactivation of the automatic
operation of the electric parking brake
is confirmed by o illuminating in the
instrument cluster 3 68. The electric
parking brake can only be applied and released manually.
To reactivate the automatic
operation, repeat the steps described above.

Driving and operating117Functionality check
When the vehicle is not moving, the
electric parking brake might be
applied automatically. This is done to
check the system.
Fault
Failure mode of electric parking brake
is indicated by a control indicator
k and by a vehicle message which
is displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 75.
Control indicator j flashes: electric
parking brake is not fully applied or released. When continuously
flashing, release electric parking
brake and retry applying.
Brake assist If brake pedal is depressed quickly
and forcefully, maximum brake force
is automatically applied.
Operation of brake assist might
become apparent by a pulse in the
brake pedal and a greater resistance
when depressing the brake pedal.Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintended
movement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain on for further 2 seconds. The brakes
release automatically as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate.Ride control systems
Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control system
Electronic stability control improves
driving stability when necessary,
regardless of the type of road surface
or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer / oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually.
Electronic stability control operates in combination with the traction control
system. It prevents the driven wheels
from spinning.
The traction control system is a
component of the electronic stability
control.
The traction control system improves
driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface
or tyre grip, by preventing the driven
wheels from spinning.
As soon as the driven wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
