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.

Driving and operating229● 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
3 232
● 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 3 207.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 225.

230Driving and operatingRestart of the engine by the stop-
start system
If one of the conditions for an
Autostop is not fulfilled anymore or
the vehicle starts to move, the engine
may be restarted automatically by the
stop-start system.
An automatic engine restart may not
be possible if a door or the bonnet is
open.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.
If the Infotainment system is active,
audio sound may briefly be reduced
or interrupted during the restart.

button ) without first being pressed
to deactivate the system, there is a
fault in the stop-start system and it is
deactivated. A corresponding
message also appears in the Driver Information Centre 3 104.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.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 parking brake without pressing release
button. Apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill slope or
uphill slope. Depress brake
pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear.
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.
● Close the windows.
● Turn the ignition key to position

identification plate 3 314 or the
vehicle documents.

238Driving and operatingvolume of at least 10 l of AdBlue
(depending on AdBlue
consumption).
Avoid minor top-ups (e.g. less than 10 l), otherwise the system may not
detect a refill.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
may emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located
behind the filler flap located on the
right-hand side of the vehicle.
The filler flap can only be opened if
the vehicle is unlocked and the right-
hand door is opened.9 Danger
Vehicles with stop-start system:
The engine must be switched off
and the ignition key removed, to
avoid risk of engine being
restarted automatically by the
system.

Notice
Dispose of AdBlue canister
according to environmental
requirements. Hose can be reused
after flushing with clear water before
AdBlue dries out.
Notice
Allow the vehicle to idle for at least
ten seconds to allow the system to
detect the AdBlue refill.Failure to observe this procedure will
result in the system only recognising the AdBlue refill after approx.
20 minutes of driving.
If the AdBlue refill is detected
successfully, AdBlue level warnings
will disappear.
If the AdBlue refill is not detected
some time after running the engine,
seek the assistance of a workshop.
Filler cap
