Depending on the equipment ver-
sion and country version, the vehi-
cle has various sensors to record
the traffic situation. This enables
the intelligent auto matic Start/Stop
function to adapt to various traffic
situations and, where necessary,
behave in an anticipatory manner.
For example, in the following situa-
tions:
If a situation is detected in which
the duration of the stop is likely
to be very short, the engine is not
stopped automatically. Depend-
ing on the situation, a message
is shown on the Control Display.
If a situation is detected in which
the vehicle should drive off
immediately, the stopped engine
is started automatically.
The function may be limited if the
navigation data is invalid, outdated
or not available, for example.
The engine is not switched off auto-
matically.
During an automatic engine stop,

■Gearshift
Gear shifting is only carried out at
the appropriate engine RPM and
vehicle speed.
■Short-term manual operation
In selector lever position D, operat-
ing a shift paddle causes the sys-
tem to switch to manual operation
temporarily.
The gearbox reverts to automatic
operation from manual operation
after a certain period of time of
moderate driving without accelera-
tion or gear shifts using the shift
paddles.
Changing to automatic operation is
possible as follows:
Pull and hold the right shift pad-
dle until D is shown in the instru-
ment cluster.
In addition to pulling the right
shift paddle, pull the left shift
paddle.

tem to switch permanently to
manual operation (mode).
To change up: pull the right shift
paddle.
To change down: pull the left shift
paddle.
To change down to the lowest
possible gear: pull and hold the
left shift paddle.

When the ambient conditions are
dry, Launch Control permits opti-
mised acceleration on a road sur-
face that offers plenty of grip.
Use of Launch Control causes pre-
mature component wear, as the
function subjects t he vehicle to very
high stresses and loads.
Do not use Launch Control when
running in, see page 280.
When starting with Launch Control,
do not turn the steering wheel.
Launch Control is available when
the engine is at operating tempera-
ture. The engine is at operating
temperature after an uninterrupted
journey of at least 10 km, approx. 6
miles.
