3. Turn the key to the START position3in
the ignition lock and release it as soon as
the engine is running.
If the engine is very hard to start because it is
flooded, depress the accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it. Turn the ignition
switch to the START position to start crank-
ing the engine. After 5 or 6 seconds, stop
cranking by turning the ignition switch to
OFF. After cranking the engine, release the
accelerator pedal. Crank the engine with your
foot off the accelerator pedal by depressing
the brake pedal and turning the ignition
switch to start the engine. If the engine starts,
but fails to run, repeat the above procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than
15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition key to the OFF po-
sition and wait 10 seconds before cranking
again, otherwise the starter could be
damaged.4.Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at mod-
erate speed for a short distance first, es-
pecially in cold weather. In cold weather,
keep the engine running for a minimum of
2 - 3 minutes before shutting it off. Start-
ing and stopping the engine over a short
period of time may make the vehicle more
difficult to start.
5. To stop the engine, Shift the transmission
to position P (Park) by pressing the

button. and turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position.
NOTE
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
•Installation or extended use of electronic
accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.)
•Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only
driven short distances. In these cases, the
battery may need to be charged to main-
tain battery health.
STARTING PROCEDURE USING
THE PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION
SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
The push-button ignition switch can be used
to start the vehicle manually without insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock. The key must
be in the vehicle and the start/stop button
must be inserted in the ignition lock (see "Re-
moving the start/stop button" earlier in this
section). This mode for starting the engine
operates independently of the ECO start/
stop automatic engine start function.
You can start the engine if a valid key is in the
vehicle. Switch off the engine and always
take the key with you when leaving the ve-
hicle, even if you only leave it for a short time.
Pay attention to the important safety notes.
•Depress the brake pedal and keep it de-
pressed.
•Press the push button ignition switch once
(see " Push-button ignition switch (if
equipped)" earlier in this section). The en-
gine starts.

WARNING
•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others, or pets unattended in
your vehicle.
•The ICC system should only be used to

–There is a malfunction in the system
or in the voltage supply.
–The ICC system has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e. g. by a
vehicle occupant.
–The accelerator pedal has been de-
pressed, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
For further information on deactivating the
ICC system, see "ICC switch (cruise control
lever)" earlier in this section
If the ICC system detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it
is stationary (within the braking limitations of
the system).
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress
the brake.
NOTE
Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever.
How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
To increase the distance to the vehicle ahead,

PARKING
NOTE
When the sonar function detects obstacles,
you are responsible for braking in good time.
1. Stop the vehicle when the parking symbol
shows the desired parking space in the
combination meter
2. Shift into position R.
The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
3. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
4. To park using IPA press thebutton
on the steering wheel. The Park Assist
[Observe surroundings] message appears
in the vehicle information display.
5. Release the steering wheel.
6. Back up the vehicle, being ready to brake
at all times. When backing up, drive at a
speed below 5 MPH (10 km/h). Other-
wise, IPA will be canceled.
7. Stop as soon as the sonar function sounds
the continuous warning tone, if not be-
fore. Maneuvering may be required in
tight parking spaces.The [Park Assist active Select D Observe
surroundings] message appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
8. Select transmission position D (Drive)
while the vehicle is stationary.
IPA immediately steers in the other direc-
tion.
The [Park Assist Observe surroundings]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
NOTE
You will achieve the best results by wait-
ing for the steering procedure to com-
plete before pulling away.
9. Drive forwards and be ready to brake at
all times.
Maneuvering may be required in tight
parking spaces. Drive forward and back
up as prompted by the IPA and sonar
function warning displays, several times if
necessary.
10. Stop as soon as the sonar function
sounds the continuous warning tone, if
not before.
The [Park Assist active Select R] [Ob-
serve surroundings] message appears in
the vehicle information display.As soon as the parking procedure is
complete the [Park Assist switched off]
message appears and a warning tone
sounds. The vehicle is now parked.
11. Before leaving the vehicle, secure the ve-
hicle against rolling away unintentionally:
•The electric parking brake must be ap-
plied.
•The transmission must be in position P
(Park) and the transmission position
display must show P in the vehicle
information display.
•The key must be removed from the
ignition switch.
•On uphill or downhill gradients, the
front wheels must be turned towards
the curb.
IPA no longer supports you with steering in-
terventions. When IPA is finished, you must
steer again yourself. The sonar function is still
available.
Starting and driving5-73

Parking tips:
•The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of
the location. It may be the case that IPA
guides you too far into a parking space, or
not far enough into it. In some cases, it
may also lead you across or onto the curb.
If necessary you should cancel the parking
procedure with IPA.
•During the parking maneuver, the system
will indicate when you should shift to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive). However, you can
freely choose to shift gear whenever you
feel you need to. Should the transmission
change take place too early, the parking
procedure will be canceled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
EXITING A PARKING SPACE
In order that IPA can support when exiting
the parking space:
•You need to have parked using IPA.
•The border of the parking space must be
high enough at the front and the rear.
A curb stone is too small, for example.
•The border of the parking space must not
be too wide, as the position of the vehicle
must not exceed an angle of 45 degrees to
the starting position as it is manoeuvred
into the parking space.
•A total front and back maneuvering dis-
tance of at least 1.0 m must be available.
IPA can only assist you with exiting a parking
space if you have parked the vehicle parallel
to the direction of travel using IPA.
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute
for your attention to the immediate sur-
roundings. The responsibility for safe
maneuvering and parking remains with
you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or
objects are in the maneuvering range.
•When the sonar function is deactivated,
IPA is also unavailable.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can
drive onto areas of the oncoming lane.
This could cause you to collide with
other road users. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop
the vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA
parking procedure.
1. Start the engine.
2. Release the electric parking brake.
3. Switch on the turn signal in the direction
you are pulling away.
4.Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position D or R
The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
5. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
6. To exit a parking space using IPA: press
thebutton on the steering wheel
The Park Assist [Observe surroundings]
message appears in the display.
7. Release the steering wheel.
8. Pull away, being ready to brake at all
times Do not exceed a maximum speed of
approximately 5 MPH (10 km/h) when
exiting a parking space. Otherwise, IPA
will be canceled.
