Lights and Vision


— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Under unfavorable conditions, such as wet-
ness, darkness, and when the sun is low,
these coatings can cause increased glare,
which increases the risk of an accident. They
can also cause wiper blade chatter.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.

> Place the windshield wiper arms in the service
position > page 42.
> Fold the windshield wiper arms away from the
windshield.

ZX WARNING
Dirty windshield wiper blades can impair vi-
sion, which increases the risk of an accident.
Replacing windshield wiper blades


@) Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield can damage the wiper blades.
— The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us-
ing a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus-
ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
@ Tips
— The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor*
function. Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
— The washer fluid nozzles in the windshield
washer system are heated* at low tempera-
tures when the ignition is on.
— When stopping temporarily, such as ata
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning windshield wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Clean the wiper blades with a soft towel
and glass cleaner.

Driving

— Do not drive with winter tires during the summ-
er.
— Utilize the engine braking effect.
— Avoid driving short distances when possible.

Switching the ignition on or off
If you would like to switch the ignition on without
starting the engine, follow these steps:

> Press the [START ENGINE STOP} button without
pressing the brake pedal.


Starting the engine
> Automatic transmission: press the brake pedal
and move the selector lever into the “P” or “N”
position > /\.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP} button. The en-
gine will start.


Equipment that uses a lot of electricity is switch-
ed off temporarily when you start the engine.
If the engine does not start immediately, the
starting procedure stops automatically after a
short time. If this is the case, repeat the starting
procedure after approximately 30 seconds.

ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of asphyxiation, never al-
low the engine to run in confined spaces.
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
— The brake booster and power steering only
work when the engine is running. If the en-
gine is off, you have to use more force when
steering or braking. The fact that you cannot
steer and brake as usual may increase the
risk of accidents and serious injuries.
() Note
Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load if the engine has not
reached operating temperature yet. You could
damage the engine.

@) For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately. This re-
duces unnecessary emissions.
(i) Tips
— Some noise after starting the engine is nor-
mal and is no cause for concern.
— If you leave the vehicle with the ignition
switched on, the ignition will switch off af-
ter a certain amount of time. Make sure
that electrical equipment such as the exteri-
or lights are switched off.

Driving

Stopping the engine
> Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP] button.


Emergency off function*
If it is absolutely necessary, the engine can also
be turned off while driving at speeds starting at
4 mph (7 km/h). To stop the engine, press the
START ENGINE STOP] button twice in a row or


press and hold it one time.

Z\ WARNING
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. Switching it
off before the vehicle has stopped may im-
pair the function of the brake booster and
power steering. You may need to use more
force when braking or steering. Because you
cannot brake and steer as you usually would,
this could lead to accidents and serious inju-
ries.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. If you
do not do this, the engine could be started
and electrical equipment such as the power
windows could be activated. This can lead to
serious injuries.
— For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll unintentionally.
@) Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for an
extended period of time, heat builds up in the
engine compartment after the engine is
switched off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine. For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off.
@) Tips
For up to 10 minutes after stopping the en-
gine, the radiator fan may turn on again auto-
matically or it may continue to run, even if the
ignition is switched off.

Start/Stop system
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system
The Start/Stop system can help increase fuel
economy and reduce CO2 emissions.
In Start/Stop mode, the engine shuts off auto-
matically when stopped, for example at a traffic
light.
The ignition and important assist systems such
as the brake booster will remain available during
the Stop phase. The engine will restart automati-
cally when needed.
The Start/Stop system is automatically activated
once the ignition is switched on.
Basic requirements for Start/Stop mode
— The driver's door must be closed.
— The driver's seat belt much be fastened.
— The hood must be closed.
— The vehicle must have driven faster than 2 mph
(4 km/h) since the last time it stopped.

Z\ WARNING
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. Switching it
off before the vehicle has stopped may im-
pair the function of the brake booster and
power steering. You would then need to use
more force to steer and brake the vehicle.
The fact that you cannot steer and brake as
usual may increase the risk of accidents and
serious injuries.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Otherwise the children could
start the engine or operate electrical equip-
ment such as power windows.
—To reduce the risk of injuries, make sure that
the Start/Stop system is turned off when
working in the engine compartment
> page 79.

@) Note
Always switch the Start/Stop system off when
driving through water > page 79.
Stopping and starting the engine
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system
> Press and hold the brake pedal until the vehicle
has stopped. The a& indicator light
77

Driving

appears in the instrument cluster once the en-
gine stops automatically.
> The engine starts again when you remove your
foot from the brake pedal. The indicator light
turns off.
Additional information for automatic
transmissions
The engine stops in the "P", "N" and "D" selector
lever positions.
If you select the “R” gear during a Stop phase
while pressing the brake pedal, the engine will
start again.
Shift to "P" quickly to prevent the engine from
starting unintentionally when shifting through
"RM.
You can control if the engine will stop or not by
reducing or increasing the amount of force you
use to press the brake pedal. For example, if you
only lightly press on the brake pedal in stop-and-
go traffic or when turning, the engine will not
switch off when the vehicle is stationary. If you
press the brake pedal harder, the engine will
switch off.
@) Tips
— Press the brake pedal during a Stop phase
to keep the vehicle from rolling.
— The ignition will turn off if you press the
START ENGINE STOP] button during a Stop


phase.
— When you stop and the Start/Stop system
turns the engine off, the ignition remains
on. Make sure the ignition is switched off
before you leave the vehicle or else the bat-
tery could drain.
General information
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system
Starting and stopping the engine automat-
ically
The system checks if certain conditions are met
before and during the Stop phase, and deter-
mines if the engine stops and how long it re-
mains stopped. For example, if power usage is
high, the engine will not be stopped. Along with
78
other conditions, the following factors influence
the automatic engine start or stop:
— Environmental conditions (slopes, inclines, ele-
vation, temperature)
— Battery (charge status, temperature, power us-
age)
— Engine temperature
— Assist systems
— Driving behavior
Depending on the engine, the indicator light
may appear if the engine is not stopped.
Ignition is switched off automatically
To prevent the vehicle battery from draining, the
ignition will switch off automatically under the
following conditions:
— If the vehicle has already been driven
— If the Start/Stop system has stopped the en-
gine
— If the driver's door is opened
— If the driver's safety belt is unbuckled
— If the brake pedal is not pressed
— If the vehicle is stationary
In this case, the parking lights switch on in place
of the low beams and the message Side marker
lights will switch off automatically in 30 mi-
nutes. See owner's manual appears in the Info-
tainment system display. The side marker lights
will switch off after approximately 30 minutes or
when you lock the vehicle.
If the Start/Stop system has not turned off the
engine or if you have switched the Start/Stop sys-
tem off manually, the ignition will not be auto-
matically switched off and the engine will contin-
uetorun>A.

ZA WARNING
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never allow
the engine to run in confined spaces.
G) Tips
If you select the “D” or “N” selector lever posi-
tion after shifting into reverse, the vehicle
must be driven faster than 6 mph (10 km/h)
in order for the engine to switch off again.
