Switching on the windscreen wipers
Fig. 48 Windscreen wiper lever
Move the windscreen wiper lever to the appropriÂ
ate position:
@- Wipers off
CD- Intermittent wipe. Move switch @ to the left
or to the right to increase or reduce the wiper deÂ
lay interval. If your vehicle is equipped with the
rain sensor*, the windscreen wipers will be actiÂ
vated automatically in the rain as long as the veÂ
hicle has been moving faster than approx. 4 km/
ha t least once. The higher the sensitivity level for
the rain sensor* is (i.e. the further to the right
the position of switch @ is), the sooner the windÂ
screen wipers react to moisture on the windÂ
screen. You can deactivate the rain sensor mode*
on the infotainment system (this will activate the
intermittent wipe mode). Select the following on
the infotainment system: !MENU! button> Car >
left control button > Driver assist> Rain sensor >
off.
@- Slow wipe
@ -Fast wipe
@ -Single wipe. If you hold the lever in this posiÂ
tion, the wipers will switch from slow continuous
wiping to fast continuous wiping after a while.
® -Wash/wipe. The screen is given an extra wipe
a few seconds later to remove any dribbles of waÂ
ter (if the vehicle is moving and the temperature
is above approx. 4 °C). You can deactivate this
function by moving the lever to position @again
within 10 seconds after the extra wipe. The ex-
so tra-wipe
function is activated again the next time
you switch on the ignition.
Headlight washers*. The headlight washer sysÂ
tem* only operates when the lights are switched
on. The headlights are automatically washed the
first time and every fifth time you move the lever
to position ®·
A WARNING
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still obliged to manÂ
ually operate the windscreen wipers as reÂ
quired depending on visibility.
- Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as light rain, low sun or when driving at
night these coatings can cause increased
dazzle, which is a serious safety hazard.
Such coatings can also cause the wiper
blades to judder.
- Poor visibility can cause accidents. Always
ensure that the wiper blades are in good
condition ¢ page 51, Changing the windÂ
screen wiper blades.
CD CAUTION
- In icy conditions, check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If
the wiper blades are frozen to the windÂ
screen when you switch on the windscreen
wipers, this could damage the wiper blades.
- Make sure you switch off the windscreen
wiper system (lever in position 0) before you
use an automatic car wash. This will avoid
inadvertent triggering of the wipers and
possible damage to the wiper system.
i Note
- The windscreen wipers are deactivated
when the ignition is switched off. You can
activate the windscreen wipers after switchÂ
ing the ignition on again by moving the
windscreen wiper lever to any position.
- Worn or dirty wiper blades can cause smearÂ
ing on the glass. This can also impair the efÂ
fectiveness of the rain sensor*. Please check
the wiper blades regularly. ______ �

CD CAUTION
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.
{(D 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 operÂ
ating temperature.

WARNING
- Never press the accelerator pedal or release
the clutch inadvertently if a gear is engaged
or if the selector lever is not in position P or
N (on automatic vehicles) while the vehicle
is stationary with the engine running. The
vehicle will otherwise start moving immediÂ
ately 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 subÂ
ject to certain physical limits. In a corner or
in bad road or weather conditions an emerÂ
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 vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially imÂ
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine,
release the parking brake or use power-opÂ
erated equipment such as the electric winÂ
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, poÂ
tentially putting lives at risk.
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 Driving
brakes will stop it creeping forward while a
gear is engaged in the automatic transmisÂ
sion. When you drive off in the normal way,
the parking brake will be released automatiÂ
cally and your vehicle will start moving
¢page 75.
(CD) 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) ¢ &,. Obtain professional
assistance.
Moving off
Various features and safety functions are availaÂ
ble for driving off, depending on the equipment
in your vehicle.
Hill starting with the parking brake applied
Important: The driver's door must be closed.
� To drive off more easily on a slope, apply the
parking brake and drive off just as you usually
would. The parking brake will be released autoÂ
matically, but not until there is enough power
at the wheels to make the vehicle move in the
desired direction.
Hill starting with the hill hold assist
The hill hold assist function makes it easier to
drive away on a slope.
Important: The driver's door must be closed and
the engine must be running.
� To activate the hill hold assist, press and hold
the brake pedal for several seconds. The vehicle
must be on a slope and facing uphill.

order to hold the vehicle and make it easier for
you to drive away.
Driving off with the hold assist
Applies to: vehicles with hold assist
The hold assist helps the driver if the vehicle is
stationary for a long period or very often, for inÂ
stance at traffic lights, on steep gradients or in
stop-and-go traffic.
Important: The driver's door must be closed and
the engine must be running.

the hold assist keeps the vehicle stationary.
You can now take your foot off the brake pedal.
.,. Drive
off in the normal way: the brake will be
released automatically and the vehicle will
start moving.
In certain situations, the hold assist transfers the
job of holding the vehicle to the parking brake.
As soon as the parking brake is holding the vehiÂ
cle still, the warning lamp. appears in the inÂ
strument cluster. In addition, the LED in the C®)
button will light up.
Driver messages in the instrument cluster
display
[iJ Hold assist: unavailable
If this message appears, the system requireÂ
ments have not been met.
A WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with hill hold assist
If you do not drive away immediately after reÂ
leasing the brake pedal, or if the engine
stalls, the vehicle may start to roll back. You
should therefore immediately press the brake
pedal or apply the parking brake.
A WARNING
The intelligent technology in the hold assist*
and hill hold assist functions cannot defy the
laws of physics. Do not let the extra convenÂ
ience afforded by the hold assist* and hill
76 hold
assist functions tempt you into taking
any risks when driving -this can cause acciÂ
dents.
- The hold assist* and hill hold assist funcÂ
tions cannot keep the vehicle stationary in
all conditions on a gradient (e.g. if the road
is slippery or icy).
- Always ensure that the vehicle is stopped
properly and safely -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Switch off the hold assist* function before
driving the vehicle into a car wash.
� Note
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
When the hold assist* function is switched
on, it stops the vehicle from creeping forÂ
wards when you take your foot off the brake
pedal.
Automatic gearbox
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled dual-clutch gearbox (S tronic). Torque
between the engine and the gearbox is transmitÂ
ted via two independent clutches. They enable
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the vehiÂ
cle.
The gearbox shifts up or down automatically and
continuously adapts the timing of the gear
changes to your driving style.
When you drive at moderate speeds the gearbox
will select the most economical shift proÂ
gramme. It will then change up early and delay
the downshifts to give better fuel economy.
If you drive at higher speeds with heavy acceleraÂ
tion, if you open the throttle quickly, or if you use
the kick-down or the car's maximum speed, the
gearbox will automatically select the more "sporÂ
ty" shift programmes.
If desired, you can also select the gears manually
(tiptronic mode).

manually to suit the driving conditions
¢page 81.
On level ground it is sufficient to move the selecÂ
tor lever to P. On a gradient the parking brake
should be applied first and the selector lever
should be moved to P ¢ page 74. This reduces
the load on the locking mechanism and makes it
easier to move the selector lever out of position
