traffic drives on the opposite side of
the road, the headlights have to be
adjusted.
1. With the engine switched off, pull the indicator lever and hold.
2. Start the engine.
3. Hold the indicator lever for another 5 seconds.
4. Release the indicator lever.
If the headlights are adjusted, a
message is displayed in the Driver

described above.
Daytime running lightsDaytime running lights increase
visibility of the vehicle during daylight.
They are switched on automatically
when the engine is running.The system switches between
daytime running lights and low beam
automatically, depending on the
lighting conditions.
LED headlights
LED headlight system contains a
variety of particular LEDs in each
headlight which enables the control of the adaptive forward lighting
functions.
Light distribution and intensity of light
are variably triggered depending on
the lighting conditions, road type and
driving situation. The vehicle adapts
the headlights automatically to the
situation to enable optimal light
performance for the driver.
Some adaptive forward lighting
functions of the LED headlights can
be deactivated or activated in the
vehicle personalisation menu. Select
the relevant setting in Settings I
Vehicle in the Info Display.

High beam assist switches
automatically to low beam when:
● Driving in urban areas.
● Camera detects heavy fog.
● Front or rear fog lights are switched on.
If there are no restrictions detected, the system switches back to high
beam.
Deactivation
Deactivate the high beam assist by
pressing f.
If a headlight flash is activated when the high beam assist is activated and
low beam is on, the high beam assist will be deactivated. The system
changes to high beam.
If a headlight flash is activated when the high beam assist is activated and
high beam is on, the high beam assist will be deactivated. The system
changes to low beam.
To reactivate the high beam assist,
flash the headlights again.Fault in LED headlight system
When the system detects a failure in
the LED headlight system, it selects a preset position to avoid dazzling of
oncoming traffic. A warning is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Hazard warning flashers
Operated by pressing ¨.
When braking in an emergency, the
hazard warning flashers are switched

failure
If either the electronic key fails or the
battery of the electronic key is weak,
a message may be displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
Hold the electronic key with buttons
outside at the marking on the steering column cover as shown in the
illustration.
Operate the clutch pedal (manual
transmission), the brake pedal and
press Start/Stop .

Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.
Notice
In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, the engine is
switched off automatically if the
vehicle comes to a standstill within a
certain time.
In countries with extreme low
temperatures it may be necessary to park the vehicle without applied
parking brake. Make sure to park the
vehicle on a level surface.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Exhaust filter
Automatic cleaning process
The exhaust filter system filters soot particles out of the exhaust gases.
The start of saturation of the exhaust
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of % or C ,
accompanied by a message in the
Driver Information Centre.
Driving and operating143Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork withAdBlue.
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 preheater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
preheater works automatically.
Notice
Frozen and again liquefied AdBlue is usable without quality loss.
The typical AdBlue consumption is
approx. 0.85 l per 600 miles, but can
also be higher 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 1500 mi .
When switching on the ignition,
this warning will show up once
briefly with the calculated range.
Additionally, control indicator u
will illuminate and a chime will
sound. Driving is possible without
any restrictions.
When driving, the message is
displayed every 200 miles until
the additive tank has been
topped-up.
2. The next warning level is entered with a range below 350 miles. The
message with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Additionally, control indicator u
will flash and a chime will sound. Refill AdBlue before entering the
next warning level.
When driving, the message is
displayed every 30 seconds untilthe additive tank has been
topped-up.
3. The last warning level is entered when the AdBlue tank is empty.
Restart of the engine is not
possible. The following warning
message will be displayed:
Top up emissions additive:
Starting prevented
Additionally, control indicator u
will flash and a chime will sound.
Refill the tank to a level of at least 5 l of AdBlue, otherwise restarting
of the engine is not possible.
High emission warnings In the event of a fault with the
emissions control system, different
messages are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. The messages
and the restrictions are a legal
requirement.
1. If a fault is detected for the first time, the warning Emissions fault
is displayed.

1. Shift into D.
2. Push the selector backwards without passing the point of
resistance.
To shift from B to D, push the selector
backwards without passing the point
of resistance.
One-pedal driving
With one-pedal driving, the
accelerator pedal can be used to
control the deceleration of the vehicle
down to a complete stop.
Quick releasing of the accelerator
pedal will result in aggressive
deceleration. Slow releasing of the
accelerator pedal will allow the
deceleration of the vehicle to be
adjusted as desired.
To use one-pedal driving, shift into B.
B is only selectable when the vehicle
is in D. Press the accelerator pedal to
achieve the desired speed. The
deceleration provided by one-pedal
driving provides full regenerative
braking by charging the high voltage
battery.Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission permits
automatic gearshifting (automatic
mode) or manual gearshifting
(manual mode).
Manual shifting is possible in manual
mode by tapping the selector lever to
+ or - 3 148.
Transmission display
The mode or selected gear is shown
in the Driver Information Centre.
In automatic mode, the driving
programme is indicated by D.
In manual mode, M and the number
of the selected gear is indicated.
R indicates reverse gear.
N indicates neutral position.
P indicates park position.
Gear selection
Move the selector lever in the shifting
gate as shown in the illustration
above.

The selector lever is locked in P and
can only be moved when the ignition
is on and the brake pedal is applied.
The engine can only be started with
the selector lever in position P or N.
When position N is selected, press
the brake pedal or apply the parking
brake before starting.
Do not accelerate while engaging a
gear. Never depress the accelerator
pedal and brake pedal at the same
time.
When a gear is engaged, the vehicle
slowly begins to creep when the
brake is released.
Engine braking
To utilise the engine braking effect,select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill, see manual mode.
Rocking the vehicleRocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow. Move the selector
lever between D and R in a repeat
pattern. Do not race the engine and
avoid sudden acceleration.
Parking Apply the parking brake and engageP .Manual mode
Move selector lever out of position D
towards the left in position M.
Tap the selector lever to the front + to
shift to a higher gear.
Tap the selector lever to the rear - to
shift to a lower gear.
If a higher gear is selected when
vehicle speed is too low, or a lower
gear when vehicle speed is too high,
the shift is not executed. This can
cause a message in the Driver
Information Centre.
