Operation
More the lever to the required position:
4 v
Short wipe. Brief press, short clean.
Hold the lev
er do
wn for more time to in-
crease the wipe frequency.
5 W
Windscreen washer. The windscreen
washer function is activated by push-
ing the le

ver towards the steering
wheel, and the wipers operate simulta-
neously.
6 
Interval wipe for rear window. The wip-
er will wipe the window approximat
ely
e

very six seconds.
7 \
The rear window wash function is acti-
vated by pressing the l
e

ver, and the
rear wiper starts simultaneously. WARNING
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you hav e
w

armed the windscreen with the heating
and ventilation system. The windscreen
washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the
windscreen and obscure your view of the
road. CAUTION
If the ignition is switched off with the wind-
screen wipers active, they compl et

e their
wipe before returning to the rest position.
When switching the ignition back on, the
windscreen wiper will continue to operate
at the same wiping level. Ice, snow and oth- er obstacles on the windscreen may dam-
age the wiper and the windscreen wiper
motor.

Air conditioning
the windscreen. Switch on the defrost func-
tion as soon as possible to clear the wind-
scr
een of condensation. Air vents
To ensure proper heating, cooling and venti-
lation in the vehicle int
erior
, the air vents must
remain open.

Operation
when it is in reverse and while the automat-
ic windscreen wiper is working.
Seat heating*
With the engine on, the seat cushion and the
seat backrest can be heated electrically.

Start and driving
Save electrical energy
The engine driv es the alt
ernator
, ther
eby
generating electricity. This implies that any
increase in power consumption also increa-
ses fuel consumption! For this reason, switch
off any unneeded electrical devices. Devices
that use a lot of electricity includes the blow-
er at a high setting, the rear window heating
or the seat heating*

Braking and parking
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL det ects wheel
spin, it brak
es
the spinning wheel and dir
ects the power to
the other driven wheel. This function is active
up to approximately 100 km/h (62 mph).
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automati-
cally if subjected to excessive loads. The ve-
hicle can still be driven. The EDL will switch on
again automatically when the brake has
cooled down.
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

Practical tips

It lights up
Diesel engine preheating system.
The engine can be started straight aw ay when the
l
amp switches off. 
Flashes
Fault in the diesel engine management.
Have the engine checked as soon as possible by a
specialised w orkshop

.Note
While the control lamps , ;,  or  are
on, there might be faults in the engine, fuel consumption may go up and the engine
might l

ose power. Catalytic converter

current they are using. This limits the amount
of po w
er consumed and helps t o ensur
e r
eli-
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 generates 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 el
ectrical 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. Wheels
