2.Press the button once.
3.Apply the parking brake.
Note:This switches off the ignition, allelectrical circuits, warning lamps andindicators.
Note:If the engine is idling for 30 minutes,the ignition and engine automatically shutdown.
Stopping the Engine When YourVehicle is Moving
WARNING: Switching off theengine when your vehicle is still movingresults in a significant decrease inbraking assistance. Higher effort isrequired to apply the brakes and to stopyour vehicle. A significant decrease insteering assistance could also occur. Thesteering does not lock, but higher effortcould be required to steer your vehicle.When you switch the ignition off, someelectrical circuits, for example airbags,also turn off.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
Advertised Capacity
The advertised capacity is the maximumamount of fuel that you can add to the fueltank after running out of fuel. Included inthe advertised capacity is an emptyreserve. The empty reserve is anunspecified amount of fuel that remainsin the fuel tank when the fuel gaugeindicates empty.
Note:The amount of fuel in the emptyreserve varies and should not be relied uponto increase driving range.

Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•Switch the ignition off before fueling,an inaccurate reading results if youleave the engine running.
•Use the same fill rate,low-medium-high, each time you fillthe tank.
•Allow no more than one automaticshut-off when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Your vehicle calculates fuel economyfigures through the trip computer averagefuel function. See Information Displays(page 98).
The first 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving isthe break-in period of the engine. Thesystem obtains a more accuratemeasurement after 2,000–3,000 mi(3,200–4,800 km).
Keep a record for at least one month andrecord the type of driving, for example cityor highway. This provides an accurateestimate of your vehicle’s fuel economyunder current driving conditions. Keepingrecords during summer and winter showshow temperature impacts fuel economy.
Conditions Influencing Fuel Efficiency
See Driving Economically (page 230).

Note:The position could illuminate on thetransmission selector.
Understanding the Positions ofYour Automatic Transmission
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1.Fully press down on the brake pedal.
2.Press and hold the button on the topof the gearshift lever.
3.Move the gearshift lever into thedesired gear.
4.Release the button and yourtransmission remains in the selectedgear.
Transmission Selector Positions
The instrument cluster displays the currentgear.
Park (P)
This position locks the transmission andprevents the rear wheels from turning.Come to a complete stop before puttingyour vehicle into and out of park (P).
Reverse (R)
With the selector in reverse (R), yourvehicle moves backward. Always come toa complete stop before shifting into andout of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the selector in neutral (N), you canstart your vehicle and it is free to roll. Holdthe brake pedal down when in this position.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position forthe best fuel economy. The overdrivefunction allows automatic upshifts anddownshifts through all gears.
Sport (S)
Putting your vehicle in sport (S):
•Provides additional engine braking andextends lower gear operation toenhance performance for uphill climbs,hilly terrain or mountainous areas. Thisincreases engine RPM during enginebraking.
•Provides additional lower gearoperation through the automatictransmission shift strategy.
•Provides gear upshifts and downshiftsmore quickly at higher engine speeds.

HILL START ASSIST
WARNING: The system does notreplace the parking brake. When youleave your vehicle, always apply theparking brake and shift the transmissioninto park (P) for automatic transmissionor first gear for manual transmission.
WARNING: You must remain inyour vehicle when the system turns on.At all times, you are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle, supervising thesystem and intervening, if required.Failure to take care may result in the lossof control of your vehicle, seriouspersonal injury or death.
WARNING: The system will turnoff if a malfunction is apparent. Failureto take care may result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle, serious personalinjury or death.
The system makes it easier to pull awaywhen your vehicle is on a slope without theneed to use the parking brake.
When the system activates, your vehicleremains stationary on a slope for a fewseconds after you release the brake pedal.This allows you time to move your footfrom the brake to the accelerator pedal.The brakes release when the engine hasdeveloped sufficient torque to prevent yourvehicle from rolling down the slope. Thisis an advantage when pulling away on aslope, for example from a car park ramp,traffic lights or when reversing uphill intoa parking space.
The system activates on any slope thatcauses your vehicle to roll.
Note: There is no warning lamp to indicatethe system is either on or off.
Using Hill Start Assist
1.Press the brake pedal to bring yourvehicle to a complete standstill. Keepthe brake pedal pressed and shift intofirst gear when facing uphill or reverse(R) when facing downhill.
2.The system activates if the sensorsdetect that your vehicle is on a slope.
3.When you remove your foot from thebrake pedal, your vehicle remains onthe slope without rolling away for a fewseconds. This hold time increases if youare in the process of driving off.
4.Pull away in the normal manner.

WARNING: If damage occurs in theimmediate area surrounding the sensor,have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
WARNING: The parking aid systemcan only assist you to detect objectswhen your vehicle is moving at parkingspeeds. To help avoid personal injury youmust take care when using the parkingaid system.
WARNING: In cold and severeweather conditions the system may notfunction. Rain, snow and spray can alllimit sensor performance.
WARNING: The system may notfunction if the sensor is blocked.
Note:If your vehicle has MyKey™, thesensing system cannot be switched offwhen a MyKey™ is present. See What IsMyKey (page 63).
Note:Do not clean the sensors with sharpobjects.
Note:If your vehicle sustains damage tothe bumper or fascia and you leave itmisaligned or bent, the sensing zone couldbe altered causing inaccurate measurementof obstacles or false alerts.
Note:Add-on devices such as large trailerhitches, bike or surfboard racks, license platebrackets, or bumper covers installed aroundthe bumper or facia can block the normaldetection zone of the system causing falsealerts. Remove the add-on devices toprevent false alerts.
Note:When you connect a trailer to yourvehicle, the rear parking aid could detect thetrailer and therefore provide an alert. Disablethe rear parking aid when you connect atrailer to prevent the alert.
The sensing system warns you of obstacleswithin a certain range of your vehicle. Thesystem turns on when you switch theignition on.
You can switch the system off through theinformation display menu or from thepop-up message that appears once youshift the transmission into reverse (R). SeeGeneral Information (page 102). If yourvehicle has a parking aid button, you canswitch the system off by pressing thebutton. The system turns on when youswitch the ignition on.
If a fault is present in the system, a warningmessage appears in the informationdisplay. See Information Messages(page 112).
