- After closing the boot lid, always check that
the catch has engaged properly. The boot lid
could otherwise open suddenly when the ve­
hicle is moving - this could result in an
acci­

dent.
- Always make sure that no-one is in the boot
lid's area of movement (especially near the
hinges) when it is moving. Risk of severe in­
juries to fingers or hands!
- The boot lid must always be completely
closed when the vehicle is moving; other­
wise toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into
the interior.
- If
a
luggage rack (e.g. a bicycle carrier) is at­
tached to the boot lid, the boot lid may not
open completely or may move downwards
by itself due to the added weight. For this

reason,
make sure you support the boot lid

or
take the luggage off the carrier before
opening the boot lid - risk of injury!
© Note
- When towing a trailer* the automatic open
function can only be operated via the re­
lease catch on the boot lid.
- If the battery is low, the boot lid can still be
opened and closed manually; however, this
will require more effort. If
you
move the
boot lid slowly less effort will be required.
- When the vehicle is locked, you can unlock
the boot Lid separately by pressing the

button on the remote control key. The boot
lid will Lock automatically when you close it

again.

You should avoid putting open drinks contain­
ers in the cup holders. The drinks could other­
wise spill over and cause damage to e.g. the

® For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine by running it with
the car stationary. You should drive off imme­
diately whenever possible. This will help avoid
unnecessary exhaust emissions.
© Note
- Any noises which may be heard when the
engine is started are quite normal and no
cause for concern.
- If
you
leave your vehicle with the ignition
switched on, it will be switched off auto­
matically after
a
while. Please note that
electrical equipment such as the exterior
lighting will also be switched off.

Stop the vehicle.

•

position P.

•
Press the ISTART ENGINE STOP| button

The steering will be locked if
you
switch off the
engine with the ISTART ENGINE STOP| button,
move the selector lever to position P (on vehicles
with automatic gearbox*) and open the driver's
door. The steering lock acts as a theft deterrent.
Emergency Off function
If necessary in an emergency, the engine can be
switched off while the vehicle is still moving at
speeds of 7 km/h and above. To switch off the
engine, press the ISTART ENGINE STOP| button
twice in quick succession or hold it in for longer
than two seconds.
A WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and pow­
er steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor­
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal
man­

ner.
- Always take the key with you when you Leave
the vehicle. Otherwise the engine can be
started or power-operated equipment such
as the electric windows can be used. This
could result in serious injury.
- When parking, always move the selector
lever to position
P
to prevent the vehicle
from rolling back accidentally.
If the engine has been working hard for
a
long

time,
there is a risk of heat building up in the
engine compartment after the engine has
been switched off; this could cause engine
damage. For this reason, you should leave the
engine idling for about 2 minutes before
switching it off.
©
Note

After the engine is stopped, the radiator fan
may remain on or turn itself back on for up to
10 minutes, even if the ignition is switched
off. This may occur for the following reasons:
- Residual heat has raised the coolant
tem­

perature.
- Direct sunlight has additionally heated up
the engine compartment while the engine is

warm.

- Applies to vehicles with diesel particulate
filter: The emission control system is hot
because of the regeneration process, even
though the engine has
not
yet reached oper­
ating temperature.

Driving
start moving immediately and could cause
an accident.
- You should only use the emergency braking
function in a real emergency, for example if
the brake system were to fail or if the brake
pedal were to be obstructed. If
you
use the
emergency braking function by activating
the parking brake switch, this has the same
effect as heavy braking. Please remember
that the ESC (and the integrated ABS, EDL
and traction control functions) is still sub­
ject to certain physical limits. In a corner or
in bad road or weather conditions an emer­
gency stop can cause the vehicle to skid or
lose steering control.
- It is not possible to apply the parking brake
if the electrical power supply fails. In this

case,
park the vehicle on a
level
surface and
select 1st gear (manual gearbox) or move
the selector lever to position
P
(automatic
gearbox) to prevent
it
from rolling. Obtain
professional assistance.
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your
vehide
- even if
you
only intend to be
gone for
a
short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine,
release the parking brake or use power-op­
erated equipment such as the electric
win­

dows - this could lead to injuries.
- Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency, po­
tentially putting lives at risk.
© Note
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
You can apply the parking brake manually or
switch on the hold assist* when stopping at
traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to
hold the car with the brake pedal, as the
brakes will stop it creeping forward while a
gear is engaged in the automatic transmis­

sion.
When you drive off in the normal way,

co
the parking brake will be released automati-
<

° cally
and your vehicle will start moving

Note
- Any slight noise which may be heard when
the parking brake is applied or released is
quite normal and no cause for concern.
- The parking brake runs an automatic test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is

parked.
This may cause a slight noise, which
is normal.
- If the electrical power supply fails, it is not
possible to release the parking brake (if it
was applied) or to apply the parking brake
(if it was released)
