The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary loads are being transported.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec­
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip­
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat
heating*.
Steering Adjusting the steering wheel position
The height and reach of the steering wheel can
be adjusted as required to suit the driver.
Fig. 71 Lever on steering column
� Press the lever¢ Fig. 71 down ¢ .&, .
� Move
the steering wheel to the desired posi­
tion.
� Then push the lever towards the steering col­
umn until the catch engages.

WARNING
- Never adjust the position of the steering
wheel when the vehicle is moving - this
could cause an accident.
- Press the lever upwards so it is secure and
so that the position of the steering wheel
cannot shift unexpectedly while the vehicle
is moving -risk of accident!
Starting and stopping

You can use the !START
ENGINE STOP!

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 51 will light up and a message will
appear ¢page 83.
CD CAUTION
- When you have stopped on a gradient, do
not try to stop the vehicle rolling back by ac­
celerating when a gear is engaged. This
could cause the automatic gearbox to over­
heat and become damaged. Apply the park­
ing brake or press the brake pedal in order
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
- If you allow the car to roll with the selector
lever in position N with the engine switched
off, the automatic gearbox will be damaged
as it will not be lubricated.
80 -
In certain driving and traffic conditions, for
instance in stop-and-go traffic, if you have
to pull away frequently or if the vehicle
creeps forwards over a long distance, the
gearbox can overheat and become dam­
aged. If the indicator lamp 51 or the warn­
ing lamp . lights up, stop the vehicle at
the first opportunity and let the gearbox
cool down ¢page 83.
- If you allow the car to roll with the engine
switched off, the S tronic gearbox will be
damaged as it will not be lubricated
¢ page 2 78, Tow-starting I towing away.
ijJ) Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's seat belt
is engaged in its buckle.
Downhill speed control
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The downhill speed control function helps the
driver when driving down steep gradients.
Downhill speed control is activated on a downhill
gradient when the selector lever is in D/S and the
driver presses the brake pedal. The gearbox auto­
matically selects a suitable gear for the gradient.
The downhill speed control function attempts to
maintain the speed at which the vehicle was trav­
elling when the foot brake was applied (subject
to the laws of physics and technical limitations of
the power train). It may be necessary to adjust
the speed again using the foot brake. The down­
hill speed control can change down to 3rd gear
but no further, so it may be necessary to change
to tiptronic mode on very steep gradients. In this
case, change down manually to 2nd or 1st gear in
tiptronic mode to use the engine braking effect
and reduce the load on the brakes.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as soon as
the road levels out again or you press the acceler­
ator pedal.
On vehicles with cruise control system*
¢ page 86, downhill speed control is activated
when you set a cruising speed.

Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The selector Lever can be released manually if
the electrical power supply should fail.

p
This section describes how to manually release
the selector lever on left-hand drive vehicles.
The manual release mechanism is located on the
right underneath the selector gate. Releasing the
selector lever requires a certain degree of practi­
cal skill. We therefore advise you to obtain pro­
fessional assistance.
To release the selector lever, you will need the
screwdriver from the vehicle's tool kit, which is
located in the luggage compartment
¢ page 270. Use the flat-blade side of the rever­
sible screwdriver insert.
Removing the selector lever cover
� Apply the parking brake(®)¢ & to prevent
your vehicle from moving.
� Insert the flat-blade side of the screwdriver in­
to the opening at the side of the gear lever boot
and lever off the boot ¢Fig. 84.

fully turn it inside out over the gear knob
¢Fig. 85.
Releasing the selector lever manually
� Press the yellow release mechanism sideways
with the screwdriver and hold it in place
¢Fig. 85.
� Now press the interlock button on the selector
lever (D and move the selector lever to position
N.
� After
manually releasing the selector lever
make sure you clip the gear lever boot back into
the gearshift gate.
If the power supply should ever fail (discharged
battery, etc.) and the vehicle has to be pushed or
towed, the selector lever must first be moved to
position N. This is possible after operating the
manual release mechanism .
.&_ WARNING
The selector lever must not be moved out of
position P if the parking brake is not applied.
If this does not work, use the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle or use wheel chocks or similar
to block one of the front and rear wheels. If
you do not apply the brake, the vehicle may
roll away and cause an accident.

The parking aid is activated automatically when
the vehicle approaches an obstacle from a dis­
tance of approx. 95 cm at speeds below 10 km/h.
You will hear the warning beeps when the obsta­
cle is within a distance of approx. 50 cm. If the
parking aid is switched off by pressing the P,#A.
button, it is only reactivated automatically if one
of the following conditions has been met:
- The vehicle is driven faster than 10 km/h.
- The ignition is switched off and on again.
- The parking brake is applied and released
again.
- Position Pis selected (automatic gearbox).
Segments in the graphic display
You can estimate the distance to an obstacle by
referring to the segments in front of and behind
the vehicle (vehicles with parking system plus*)
or the segments surrounding the vehicle
(vehicles with park assist*) ¢Fig. 108. The red
lines indicate the anticipated path of the vehicle,
depending on the steering wheel angle. A white
segment indicates an obstacle that has been de­
tected beyond the path of travel. Red segments
represent objects detected within the path of
travel. The closer the vehicle gets to the obstacle
the closer the segments move towards the vehi­
cle in the graphic. At the latest when the penulti­
mate segment is highlighted the vehicle has
reached the danger (collision) zone. Obstacles
within the danger (collision) zone are shown in
red, even if they are beyond the path of travel.

- For safety reasons, you should not use the
system if the position and installation angle
of the reversing camera have been changed,
e.g. due to an accident. Have it checked by a
qualified workshop.
- Only use the reversing camera to assist you
if it is supplying you with a good and clear

the rear end of the vehicle which could block
the view of the reversing camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
