manually switch ing the wipers on according
to the visibility cond it io ns.
- The windsh ield may not be t reated w ith wa­
ter-repelling w indshield coating agents . Un­
favorable condit ions, such as wet ness, dark­
ness o r low sun, can result in inc reased

(D Note
-If there is frost, make sure the wi ndshield
w iper blades are not froze n to the wi nd­
shield. Swi tching on the w indshie ld w ipers
when the b la d es are frozen to the win d­
shield can damage the w iper blades .
- P rior to using a c ar wash, the w indshield
w iper system mus t be sw itched off (lever i n
position 0). This prevents unintentiona l
switching on and damage to the windsh ield
w iper system .
CI) Tips
-The windshie ld wipers switch off when the
ign ition is turned off. You can activate the
w indshield wipers a fter the ignition is
switched back on by moving the w indshield
w iper lever to any position.
- Worn or dirty windshie ld w iper blades res ult
in streaking. T his can affect the rain sensor
function. Check your w indshield w iper
blades reg ularly .
- The washer f luid nozz les of the w indshie ld
was her system are heated at low tempera­
tur es whe n the ign it ion is on .
- Whe n stopping temporar ily, such as at a
t raffic light, the speed of the wi ndshield
w ipers au tomatically reduces by one level.

Driving
-The ignition will turn off if you press the
I STAR T ENGINE STOP! button during a stop
phase. The needle in the tachometer moves
into the
OFF position.
General information
Applies to veh icles: with Start-Stop-System
Th e standard Start-Stop mode con be canceled
for different system-related reasons.
Fig. 84 Instrument cluste r: En gin e stop temporarily un·
available
Engine does not switch off
Before and during each stop phase, the system
checks if certain conditions have been met. For
example, the engine will not switch
off in the fol­
lowing situations :
- The engine has not reached the minimum re­
quired temperature for Start-Stop mode.
- The interior temperature selected by the A/C
system has not been reached.
- The outside temperature is extremely high/low.
- The windshield is being defrosted®.
- The parking system* is be switched on.
- The battery charge level is too low.
- The steering wheel is turned at a sharp angle or
is moving .
- After engaging the reverse gear .
- On sharp inclines.
@j also appears in the instrument cluster dis­
play.
Engine automatically restarts
The standard Start-Stop mode will be canceled
during a stop phase in the following situations .
The engine restarts without any action by the
driver.
80
- The vehicle rolls, for example while on a slope.
- The interior temperature varies from the tem-
perature selected in the A/C system.
- The windshield is being defrosted®.
- The brake pedal is pressed several times in a
row.
- The battery charge level becomes too low.
- High power consumption.
The engine can turn
off again when the condi­
tions for Start-Stop mode are met.
Ignition is switched off automatically
To prevent the battery from draining, the igni­
tion
will switch off automatically under the fol·
lowing conditions:
- The vehicle has already been driven.
- The Start-Stop-System has stopped the engine.
- The driver's door is opened.
- The driver's safety belt is removed.
- The brake pedal is not pressed down .
- The vehicle is stationary.
In this case, the activated low beam is replaced
by the parking light. The parking lights will
switch
off after approximately 30 minutes or
when you lock the vehicle.
If the Start-Stop-System has not turned off the
engine or if you have switched the Start-Stop­
System
off manually, the ignition will not be au­
tomatically switched
off and the engine will con­
tinue to run
cc> .&. .
A WARNING
Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces, because this increases the risk of as­
phyxiation .
(D Tips
-If you shift into the D or N position after
shifting into reverse, the vehicle must be
driven faster than 6 mph (10 km/h) in order
for the engine to switch off again .

Night vision assist
Display in the instrument cluster/head-up
display*
If there are pedestrians or wild animals in an
area in front of your vehicle that is classified as
critical, the system will direct your attention to
this :
- Pedestrians or wild animals are highlighted in
red and the corresponding symbol. or.
turns on
¢fig. 111.
-There is also a tone.
The area class ified as crit ica l is based on the vehi­
cle speed and the steering wheel angle . Pedes­
trian and wild animal warning encourages you to
pay more attention.
If the n ight vision assist image is replaced by an­
other display (such as the on-board computer),
the red indicator light . or. will appear if
there is a pedestrian or wild animal warning
¢ fig. 112 .
If the head-up display* is switched on and the
night vision assist content is activated, • or.
will appear in the head-up display*.
Marking light*
To direct the driver's at tention to a pedest rian,
the head lights can flash on the pedestrian three
times in a row when there is a pedestrian warn­
ing .
This happens at speeds above approx imately
35 mph (60 km/h) when you are traveling out­
side of well-lit areas and when flashing the head­ lights will not create glare for a vehicle detected
in the oncoming lane . The marker light* is con­
trolled by the high beam assist*
c;, page 45, High
beam assist.
The marking light is not used for wi ld animals.

General information
Applies to vehicles: with night vision assist
Fig. 113 Front of the vehicle: night vision camera
The following situations may affect the function
of the night vision assist system:
- Poor visibility such as snow, rain, fog or heavy
spray
- Dirty lens on the night vision assist camera
Make sure the night vision assist camera
¢fig. 113 is not covered by sticke rs, deposits or
any other obstructions because that can affect
the camera function. For information on clean­
ing, refer to
c;, page 203.
Pedestrian and wild anima l detect ion depends on
the difference in temperature between the per­
son/wild animal and the background area . Pedes­
trians/wild animals may not be detected if the
difference is too small. Pedestrian and wild ani­ mal marking and the marker light* are deactivat­
ed at temperatures above approximately 77 °F
(25 °() and when it is light outside . When the
night vision assistant image is selected in the in­
strument cluster display, the
II symbol appears
i n the upper right.
.&_ WARNING
Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when night vision assist is switch­
ed on . As the driver, you are always responsi­
ble for assessing the traffic situat ion.
- Night vision assist can only warn about peo­
ple and wild animals located within the visu­
al range of the infrared camera. The visual
range corresponds to the image in the in­
strument cluster display .
