Ignition switch with remote control key extracted/
inserted. and START/STOP ENGINE button.
IMPORTANT
Do not press in the remote control key incor-
rectly turned - Hold the end with the detach-
able key blade, see page 48.
1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch and press it in to its end position.
Note that if the car is equipped with an
alcolock then a breath test must first be
approved before the engine can be started
- see page 109.2.
Hold the clutch pedal fully depressed
1. (For
cars with automatic gearbox - Depress the
brake pedal.)
3.
Press the START/STOP ENGINE button
and then release it.
The starter motor works until the engine starts
or until its overheating protection triggers.
IMPORTANT
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts -
wait for 3 minutes before making a further
attempt. Starting capacity increases if the
battery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch after starting the engine
or when the car is being towed.
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch when leaving the car, and
make sure that the key position is 0 - in par-
ticular if there are children in the car. For
information on how this works - see
page 79.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is so that the emissions
system can reach normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which min-
imises exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.
Keyless drive*Follow steps 2–3 for starting petrol and diesel
engines. For more information on Keyless drive
- see page 53.
NOTE
A prerequisite for the car to start is that one
of the car's remote control keys with the
Keyless drive* function is in the passenger
compartment or cargo area.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the car while driving or during towing.
Stop the engineTo switch off the engine:
•Press START/STOP ENGINE - the engine
stops.
1If the car is moving then it is enough to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the car.

IMPORTANT
The operating temperature of the gearbox is
checked in order to prevent damage to any
of the drive system's components. In the
event of a risk of overheating a warning
symbol illuminates on the instrument panel
combined with a text message - In which
case, follow the recommendation given.
Manual gearbox
Gearshift pattern 5-speed gearbox.
Gearshift pattern 6-speed gearbox.
The 6-speed box is available in two versions -
reverse gear position differs between them.
Look at the actual gearshift pattern imprinted
on the gear lever.
•Depress the clutch pedal fully during each
gear change.
•Take your foot off the clutch pedal between
gear changes.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when park-
ing on a slope - leaving the car in gear is not
sufficient to hold the car in all situation.
Gear indicator1
An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and
change gear in time.
The driver is assisted by an indicator - GSI
(Gear Shift Indicator) - which notifies the driver
when it is most advantageous to engage the
next higher or lower gear in order to obtain the
lowest possible fuel consumption. However,
taking into consideration characteristics such
as performance and vibration-free running, it
may be advantageous to change gear at a
higher engine speed.
Indication is made with an up or down arrow in
the combined instrument panel's right-hand
display.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.125 Automatic gearbox Powershift*
D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear
positions.
Powershift is a 6-stage automatic gearbox that
has double mechanical clutch discs in contrast
to a conventional automatic gearbox. A con-
ventional automatic gearbox has a hydraulic
torque converter instead that transfers power
from engine to gearbox.
Powershift transmission operates in the same
way and has similar controls and functions as
the Geartronic automatic transmission, descri-
bed in the previous section.
Powershift or Geartronic?In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not
the car is equipped with Powershift transmis-sion, this can be verified by checking the des-
ignation on the transmission's label under the
bonnet - see page 370. The designa-
tion ”MPS6” means that it is Powershift – trans-
mission otherwise it is Geartronic automatic
transmission.
HSAThe HSA (Hill Start Assist) function means that
the pressure in the brake system remains for
several seconds while the foot is moved from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal before
setting off or reversing uphill.
The temporary braking effect releases after
several seconds or when the driver acceler-
ates.
To bear in mindThe transmission's double clutch has overload
protection that is activated if it becomes too
hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary with the
accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient for a
long time.
Overheated transmission causes the car to
shake and vibrate, and the warning symbol illu-
minates and the information display shows a
message. The transmission can also overheat
during slow driving in queues (10 km/h orslower) on an uphill gradient, or with a trailer
hitched. The transmission cools down when
the car is stationary, with foot brake depressed
and the engine running at idling speed.
Overheating during slow driving in queues can
be avoided by driving in stages: Stop the car
and wait with your foot on the brake pedal until
there is a moderate distance to the traffic
ahead, drive forward a short distance, and then
wait another moment with your foot on the
brake pedal.
IMPORTANT
Use the foot brake to hold the car stationary
on an uphill gradient - do not hold the car
with the accelerator pedal. The gearbox
could then overheat.
For important information regarding Powershift
transmission and towing - see page 304.
Text message and actionIn some situations the display may show a
message at the same time as a symbol is illu-
minated.

The table shows three steps with an increased
degree of seriousness should the transmission
become too hot. In parallel with the display text
the driver is also advised that the car's elec-
tronics are temporarily changing the driving
characteristics. Follow the instructions on the
information display where appropriate.
NOTE
The table's examples are no indication that
the car is defective but instead show that a
safety function has been activated inten-
tionally to prevent damage to one of the
car's components.
WARNING
If a warning symbol combined with the textTransm. overheat park safely is ignored
then the heat in the gearbox may become
so high that the power transmission
between engine and gearbox is temporarily
halted in order to prevent the clutch from
malfunctioning - the car then loses drive and
is stationary until gearbox temperature has
cooled to an acceptable level.

respective proposals for solutions concerning
automatic transmission, see page 200.

ConditionsM/AA
With the gear lever in neutral posi-
tion: Depress the clutch pedal or
press the accelerator pedal - the
engine starts. Engage a suitable
gear and continue the journey.M
The following option is also avail-
able on a downhill gradient:
Release the foot brake and let the
car move off - the engine starts
automatically when the speed
exceeds normal walking pace.M
Release the foot pressure on the
foot brake - the engine starts
automatically and the journey can
continue.A
AM = Manual gearbox, A = Automatic gearbox.
Start assistance HSAThe foot brake can also be released on an uphill
gradient to start the engine automatically - the
HSA function means that the car does not roll
backwards.
HSA (Hill Start Assist) means that the pressure
in the brake system remains temporarily avail-
able while the driver moves his/her foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal fordriving off with the engine having stopped
automatically. The temporary braking effect
releases after a couple of seconds or when the
driver accelerates.
There is more information available on HSA on
page 125.
Deactivating the Start/Stop functionIn certain situations, it may
advisable to temporarily
switch off the automatic
Start/Stop function - this is
carried out by pressing this
button once, at which point
the button's lamp goes out.
Disengaged Start/Stop func-
tion is indicated by the infor-
mation display's symbol
going out and the message
Auto Start-Stop OFF being
displayed for
about 5 seconds - while the
button's lamp goes out at the
same time.
The Start/Stop function is disengaged until it is
reactivated with the button or until the next
time the engine is started with the key.
