the shift is not executed. This can
cause a message in the Driver
Information Centre.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions.
Gear shift indication
The symbol Y or Z with a number
beside it is indicated when
gearshifting is recommended for fuel
saving reasons.
Shift indication appears only in
manual mode.
Electronic driving programmes
Following a cold start, the operatingtemperature programme increasesengine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
Special programmes automatically
adapt the shifting points when driving
up inclines or down hills.In snowy or icy conditions or on other
slippery surfaces, the electronic
transmission control enables the
driver to select manually first, second or third gear for starting off.
Kickdown
Pressing down the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown detent will lead to maximum acceleration
independent of selected driving
mode. The transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine
speed.

● Sport mode
● Eco mode
Each drive mode corresponds to a
different vehicle setting.

114Driving and operatingBrakes
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
When braking in an emergency, the
hazard warning flashers are switched
on automatically depending on the
force of deceleration. They are
switched off automatically the first
time you accelerate.
After starting off, the system performs a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator i 3 68.
Fault
9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake9 Warning
Before leaving the vehicle, check
parking brake status. Control
indicator j illuminate constantly
when electric parking brake is
applied.
Manual parking brake

Driving and operating117Functionality check
When the vehicle is not moving, the
electric parking brake might be
applied automatically. This is done to
check the system.
Fault
Failure mode of electric parking brake
is indicated by a control indicator
k and by a vehicle message which
is displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 75.
Control indicator j flashes: electric
parking brake is not fully applied or released. When continuously
flashing, release electric parking
brake and retry applying.
Brake assist If brake pedal is depressed quickly
and forcefully, maximum brake force
is automatically applied.
Operation of brake assist might
become apparent by a pulse in the
brake pedal and a greater resistance
when depressing the brake pedal.Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintended
movement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain on for further 2 seconds. The brakes
release automatically as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate.Ride control systems
Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control system
Electronic stability control improves
driving stability when necessary,
regardless of the type of road surface
or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer / oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually.
Electronic stability control operates in combination with the traction control
system. It prevents the driven wheels
from spinning.
The traction control system is a
component of the electronic stability
control.
The traction control system improves
driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface
or tyre grip, by preventing the driven
wheels from spinning.
As soon as the driven wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
