Note
- The parking brake can be applied at any
time -even when the ignition is switched
off. However, the ignition must be switched
on and the brake pedal pressed before the
parking brake can be released.
- The parking brake is applied automatically if
the driver's door is opened while the igni­
tion is on. This is to prevent the vehicle from
accidentally rolling away.
-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 cy­
cle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
parked. This may cause a slight noise, which
is normal.
- If the warning lamp. appears, there may
be a parking brake malfunction ¢ page 11.
- 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) ¢ .&.. Obtain professional
assistance.
Parking the car
.,. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a
stop.
.,. To apply the parking brake, pull the switch
¢ page 66, Fig. 74.
.,. Vehicles with automatic gearbox: Move these-
lector lever to position P.
.,. Switch off the engine ¢_&. .
.,. Manual gearbox: Engage first gear.
.,. When parking on a hill or gradient, turn the
steering wheel so that the vehicle would roll in­
to the kerb if it did start to move accidentally.
A WARNING
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your vehicle -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- Driving
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.
Driving away from a standstill
The parking brake auto release function releases
the parking brake automatically when you wish
to start moving.
Applying the parking brake when stopping
.,. To apply the parking brake, pull the switch
¢page 66, Fig. 74.
Releasing the parking brake when driving
away
Important: The driver's door must be closed and
the driver's seat belt must be buckled.
.,. Press the accelerator in the normal way: the
parking brake will be released automatically
and the vehicle will start moving.
You can apply the parking brake when stopping at
traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to hold
the car with the brake pedal, as the parking brake
will stop it creeping forward while a gear is en­
gaged in the automatic transmission. When you
drive off in the normal way, the parking brake will
be released automatically and the vehicle will
start moving.
Driving away on a slope
When driving away on a gradient, the parking
brake auto release function prevents the vehicle
from rolling back unintentionally. The braking
force of the parking brake is only released when
there is enough power at the wheels to make the
vehicle move in the desired direction.
@ Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's seat belt
is engaged in its buckle and the driver's door
is closed .

gearbox
The selector lever lock only works if the vehicle is
stationary or driving at speeds up to 2 km/h. At
higher speeds the selector lever lock in the N po­
sition is disengaged automatically.
The selector lever lock is not engaged if the selec­
tor lever is moved quickly through position N
(e.g. when shifting from R to D). This makes it
possible, for instance, to "rock" the vehicle back­
wards and forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud.
The selector lever lock engages automatically if
the brake pedal is not depressed and the lever is
in position N for more than about two seconds.
Interlock button
The interlock button on the selector lever handle
prevents the driver from inadvertently engaging
particular gears. The illustration shows the selec­
tor lever positions in which the button has to be
pressed, highlighted in colour¢ Fig. 77.
@ Note
- If the selector lever does not lock automati­
cally, a malfunction has occurred. In this
case, the power transmission is interrupted
to prevent the vehicle from moving uninten­
tionally. Proceed as follows to engage the
selector lever lock again:
- Press the brake pedal briefly.
- If the vehicle does not move forwards or
backwards even though a gear is selected,
proceed as follows:
- If the vehicle does not move in the desired
direction, the system may have failed to en­
gage the gear correctly. In this case, press
the brake pedal and select the gear again.
- If the vehicle still does not move in the de­
sired direction, a system malfunction has
occurred. Seek professional assistance and
have the system checked.

In some situations (such as when driving on
mountain roads) it can be advantageous to
switch temporarily to the manual shift pro­
gramme so that the gear ratios can be selected
manually to suit the driving conditions
¢page 75.
On level ground it is sufficient to move the selec­
tor lever to P. On a gradient the parking brake
should be applied first and the selector lever
should be moved to P ¢ page 66. This reduces
the load on the locking mechanism and makes it
easier to move the selector lever out of position

_&. WARNING
- The driver should never get out of the vehi­
cle when the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. If you have to leave your vehicle
while the engine is running, you must apply
the parking brake and engage the parking
lock P.
- If the engine is running and a gear is engag­
ed {D/S or R) or the vehicle is in "tiptronic"
mode, you will need to hold the car with the
footbrake. Otherwise, the car will "creep"
forwards as the power transmission is not
fully interrupted even when the engine is
idling.
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when the vehicle is
stationary . The vehicle could otherwise start
moving immediately (in some cases even if
the parking brake is engaged) and possibly
cause an accident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving at normal speeds, as this could
cause an accident.
- Before you drive down a steep gradient, re­
duce the speed and use "tiptronic" to select
a low gear.
- Never allow the brake to drag when driving
downhill and do not use the brake pedal too
often or for long periods. Constant braking
will cause the brakes to overheat and will
considerably reduce the effectiveness of the
brakes. It will increase the braking distance
and could cause the brake system to fail.
- To avoid rolling back on gradients always
hold the vehicle with the footbrake or park­
ing brake if you have to stop.
- Never attempt to hold the vehicle with the
clutch when stopping on a gradient. The
clutch is disengaged automatically if it is
overloaded and becomes too hot -accident
risk! If the clutch is overloaded, the indica­
tor lamp [!l will light up and a message will
appear¢ page 77.

Radio settings.
Depending on the waveband setting (FM, AM or
DAB*), you can select the following functions:
Alternative frequency (FM, DAB*)
on: The tuner attempts to switch to an alterna ­
tive frequency of the current station when the re­
ception quality becomes weaker. When the re­
ception is lost in the FM or DAB* waveband, the
system will automatically (in the background)
switch to an alternative station, if there is one
available.
off: Switching to an alternative frequency is
switched off. The current frequency will be main­
tained, and in some cases may no longer be re­
ceived. The alternative frequency function is au­
tomatically switched on again when the station is
changed.
Switch regional stations (FM)
Impor tant: The Alternative frequency function
must be switched on.
Some FM stations split up their transmission and
provide different regions with regional pro­
grammes with differing content. When the func­
tion is on �. the system switches to alternative
reg ion-specific frequencies.
L band (DAB*)
There are two wavebands for the digital radio:
Band III and L band. Ensembles in the band III
usually have a larger range extending into several
regions. They can be received at all times. In
some regions DAB is broadcast in the L band.
When this option is on, stations from the L band
will also be received.
Station sorting (FM)
A-Z: The stations are displayed in the station list
in alph abetical order. Radio stations with variable
station names are displayed after the stations
which have been sorted alphabetically. Radio sta-
166 tions
with a frequency as their station name are
displayed at the end of the list.
ID: The stations in the station list are sorted ac­
cording to the station's ID (e.g. all BBC radio sta­
tions are sorted together). Radio stations with a
frequency as their station name are displayed at
the end of the list.
Station sorting (DAB*)
A-Z: The stations are displayed in the station list
in alphabetical order.
Ensemble: Ensembles comprise various radio sta­
tions of a specific area (e.g. a town or region);
they are listed together as an ensemble in the
station list. To open/close the list of radio sta­
tions in an ensemble, select and confirm the en­
semble. Available sub-programmes* (additional
services provided by DAB* radio stations) are lis­
ted beneath the radio station (indented).
Detailed station info
When this function is switched on� and the sta­
tion or favourites list is open, the system
switches to the Deta iled station information
view ¢ page 164 after approximately five sec­
onds. If it is available, information on the selec­
ted station (e.g. station name, artist, slide show,
station logo) may be shown.
Preferred image (DAB*)
