108LightingTurn and lane-changesignalslever up:right turn signallever down:left turn signal
If the lever is moved past the
resistance point, the turn signal is
switched on constantly.
When the steering wheel is turned
back, the turn signal is automatically
deactivated. This will not happen
when making a minor steering
manoeuvre such as lane changing.
For three flashes, e.g. when changing
lanes, press the lever until resistance is felt and then release. Move the
lever to the resistance point and hold for longer indication.
The volume of the turn signal audible
warning is dependent upon vehicle
speed.
Switch the turn signal off manually by moving the lever to its original
position.

Driving economically Fuel economy mode
Fuel economy mode is a function that optimises fuel consumption. It affects,
e.g., engine power and torque,
acceleration and gear shift indication.
Manual transmissionActivation
Press s on the instrument panel;
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation.

Driving and operating123Deactivation
Press s again; LED in the button
extinguishes.
Stop-start system 3 126.
Automatic transmission
Activate fuel economy mode to allow
the transmission to adapt gearshift
patterns, improving the vehicle's fuel
economy.
Activation
In automatic mode, press s.
Control indicator s illuminates in
the instrument cluster 3 89.
The settings of certain electronic
systems are adapted to reduce fuel
consumption:
● The engine reacts less quickly to
the accelerator pedal.
● Automatic upshift points occur sooner and downshift points
occur later.
● The transmission locks itself to the engine at cruising speeds, to
improve efficiency and increase
power and torque.
● The fuel supply is automatically cut-off more quickly during
vehicle deceleration. Overrun
cut-off 3 126.
Do not use fuel economy mode whilst towing, e.g. a trailer.Deactivation
Press s again; control indicator
s extinguishes in the instrument
cluster.
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 126.

124Driving and operatingPedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
SteeringCaution
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is
stationary, as this may damage
the power steering pump.
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.
Electric power steering Electric power steering does not havepower steering fluid. Regular
maintenance is not required.
Note
If the steering wheel is turned until it
reaches the end of its travel, and is
held in that position for an extended
period of time, power steering assist
may be reduced. If used for an
extended period of time, power
steering assist may be reduced.
Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.
If power steering assist is lost due to
a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Control indicator 2 3 86.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging of the
battery.
Diesel particle filter 3 129.

Steering wheel lock
Remove key from ignition switch and
turn steering wheel until it engages.
9 Danger
Never remove the key from
ignition switch during driving as
this will cause steering wheel lock.
Starting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedals.
Automatic transmission: operate
brake pedal and move selector lever
to P or N.
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Diesel engines: turn the key to
position ON for preheating until
control indicator ! extinguishes
3 87.
Turn key briefly to position START
and release. Key returns
automatically to position ON.
Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn key back to LOCK.
Start attempts should not last longer
than 15 seconds. If engine does not
start, wait 10 seconds before
repeating starting procedure.
The increased engine speed
automatically returns to normal idling
speed as the engine temperature
rises. Drive at a moderate speed,
especially in cold weather, until
normal engine operating
temperatures have been reached.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Stop-start system 3 126.

Driving and operating127The engine will be switched off whilethe ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position in
the tachometer.
During an Autostop, the heating, power steering and brake
performance will be maintained.
Air conditioning system may or may
not inhibit the stop-start system
according to the cooling performance.
Caution
The steering assist can be
reduced during an Autostop.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled.
● The stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened
● the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high or low
● the engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load
● the ambient temperature is not too low
● the defrosting function is not activated
● the climate control system does not inhibit an engine stop
● the brake vacuum is sufficient● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
"Climate control" chapter for more
details 3 116.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 124.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
Restart of the engine by the driver Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
The engine start is indicated by the
needle at the idle speed position in
the tachometer.

128Driving and operatingIf the selector lever is shifted out of
neutral before depressing the clutch
first, control indicator - illuminates.
Control indicator - 3 90.
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
The selector lever must be in neutral to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system.
● The stop-start system is manually deactivated
● the bonnet is opened
● the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door
is opened
● the engine temperature is too low
● the charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the vehicle is driven at least at walking speed
● the defrosting function is activated● the climate control systemrequests an engine start
● the air conditioning is manually switched on
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.
Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the electrical parking brake.
Pull switch m.
The electric parking brake is
applied when control indicator
m illuminates 3 85.
For maximum force, e.g.
parking with a trailer or on
inclines, pull switch m twice.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or move the selector
lever to P before removing the
ignition key. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
move the selector lever to P
before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close windows and sunroof.
● Turn the ignition key to position
LOCK , push key into ignition
switch and remove.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, depress foot
brake and shift into P before
pushing key into ignition switch and removing.
Turn the steering wheel until
the steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
