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.

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.

Driving and operating129● Lock the vehicle by pressing p
on the radio remote control 3 22.
Activate the anti-theft alarm
system 3 26.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Malfunction indicator light 3 84.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification.
The filter is cleaned by periodically
burning off the soot particles at high
temperature. This process takes
place automatically under set driving
conditions and may take more than
15 minutes. Autostop is not available
and fuel consumption may be higher
during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this process is normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.

130Driving and operatingIf cleaning of the filter is required andprevious driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will be
indicated by control indicator %
3 88.
% illuminates, accompanied by a
warning chime, when diesel particle
filter is full. Start cleaning process as
soon as possible.
% flashes when diesel particle filter
has reached the maximum filling level. Start cleaning process
immediately to avoid damage to the
engine. A warning chime sounds
every 3 minutes until the cleaning
process is complete.
Cleaning process To activate the cleaning process,
continue driving, keeping engine
speed above 2000 revolutions per
minute. Shift down if necessary.
Diesel particle filter cleaning is then
started.
If control indicator Z illuminates
additionally in the instrument cluster
when the engine is running, there
may be a fault in the diesel particlefilter 3 84. Cleaning is not possible,
seek the assistance of a workshop
immediately.Caution
If the cleaning process is
interrupted, there is a risk of
provoking severe engine damage.
Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads.
Do not switch off the engine until the
cleaning process is complete. This is
indicated by the extinguished control
indicator %.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed 3 207 could damage the catalytic
converter or electronic
components.
Unburnt fuel will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual
problems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop as soon as
possible. In an emergency, driving
can be continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.
