Safety
The seat belts for the front seats and the side
r ear seats 1)
ar e equipped with belt t
ension-
ers. The belt tensioners are activated by sen-
sors, although only in severe head-on, lateral
and rear-end collisions. This retracts and
tightens the seat belts, reducing the forward
motion of the occupants.
The belt tensioners will not be triggered in the
event of minor collisions, if the vehicle over-
turns, or in accidents where no major forces
act on the vehicle. Note

Children and people who cannot perceive
pain or temper at

ure because of medica-
tions, paralysis or chronic diseases (e.g.
diabetes) or have a limited perception of
these, may suffer burns to the back, but-
tocks or legs when using seat heating, an
occurrence that may entail a very lengthy
recovery period or from which it may not be
possible to recover fully. Seek medical ad-
vice if you have doubts regarding your
health.

Driving
before switching it off, leave it idle for ap-
pro
x. 2 minut
es in neutral. Note
After switching off the engine, the cooling
f an may continue t o oper

ate in the engine
compartment for a few more minutes, even
with the ignition off. The radiator fan is au-
tomatically switched off. “My Beat” Function
For vehicles with a convenience key there is
the “My Beat” function. This f
eat
ur

e provides
an additional indication of the vehicle ignition
system.
When accessing the vehicle, e.g. by opening
the doors with the remote control, the START ENGINE STOP button flashes, calling at-
t ention t
o the r

elevant starter system button.
Upon switching the ignition on/off, the light of
the START ENGINE STOP button flashes. With
the engine s wit
ched off

, after a few seconds,
the STOP ENGINE START button stops flashing
and goes out.
With the engine running, the S T
AR

T ENGINE STOP button light stays on, indi-
cating that the engine is running. The time
that l apses betw
een the moment the user
st

arts the engine with the START ENGINE STOPbutton and the lighting changes from flashing to fixed will depend on specific engine size
char
act
eristics. Upon s

witching the ignition
off with the START ENGINE STOP button, it starts
fl ashing again.
In v ehicl

es with the Start-Stop system, the
“My Beat” function also offers additional in-
formation:

Tractor-trailer sway mitigation*
If the vehicle is pulling a trailer, it will control
the following: tractor-trailers tend to sway.
When the swaying of the trailer is felt by the
vehicle and detected by the ESC, it will auto-
matically brake the towing vehicle within the
limits of the system and mitigate the sway.
Tractor-trailer sway mitigation is not available
in all countries.
Electronic torque management (XDS)
When taking a curve, the driveshaft differen-
tial mechanism allows the outer wheel to turn
at a higher speed than the inner wheel. In this
way, the wheel that is turning faster (outer
wheel) receives less drive torque than the in-
ner wheel. This may mean that in certain sit-
uations the torque delivered to the inner
wheel is too high, causing the wheels to spin.
On the other hand, the outer wheel is receiv-
ing a lower drive torque than it could transmit.
This causes an overall loss of lateral grip on
the front axle, resulting in understeer or
“lengthening” of the trajectory.
The XDS system can detect and correct this
effect via the sensors and signals of the ESC.
Via the ESC, the XDS will brake the inside
wheel and counter the excess driving torque of that wheel. This means that the driver

running. In this case power is consumed when
none is being gener at
ed.
In these sit
uations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to
control the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long peri-
ods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power manage-
ment will gradually shut off the electrical de-
vices one by one or reduce the amount of
current they are using. This limits the amount
of power consumed and helps to ensure reli-
able starting even after a long period. Some
convenience functions, such as remote vehi-
cle opening, may not be available under cer-
tain circumstances. These functions will be
restored when you switch on the ignition and
start the engine.
With the engine switched off
For example, if you listen to the sound system
with the engine switched off the battery will
run down.
If the energy consumption means there is a
risk that the engine will not start, a text will
appear in vehicles with a driver information
system*.
This driver indicator tells you that you must
start the engine so that the battery can re-
charge. When the engine is running
Although the alternator gener
ates electrical
power, the battery can still become dis-
charged while the vehicle is being driven. This
can occur when a lot of power is being con-
sumed but only a small amount supplied, es-
pecially if the battery is not fully charged ini-
tially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the
system will then temporarily shut off the elec-
trical devices that are using a lot of power, or
reduce the current they are consuming. Heat-
ing systems in particular use a large amount
of electrical power. If you notice, for instance,
that the seat heating* or the rear window
heater is not working, they may have been
temporarily switched off or regulated to a
lower heat output. These systems will be
available again as soon as sufficient electri-
cal power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed when necessary.
This is quite normal, and no cause for con-
cern. The increased idling speed allows the
alternator to meet the greater power require-
ment and charge the battery at the same
time. Engine management and
