applied 3 128. A warning chime will
sound if a certain speed is exceeded
with the parking brake applied.
Illuminates when the parking brake is
released if the brake fluid level is too
low 3 146.9 Warning
Stop. Do not continue your
journey. Consult a workshop.
Illuminates if the brake vacuum servo
fails; the brake pedal becomes stiff
when pressed. The brake system
remains operational however,
assistance will be reduced. The
steering may also require
considerably more effort when
turning.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. Brake fluid level insuff. , may also
be displayed in the Driver Information Centre 3 91.
Brake pad wear
F illuminates yellow.
The front brake pads are worn, seek

(ABS)
u illuminates yellow.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the
ignition is switched on. The system is ready for operation when the controlindicator extinguishes.
If the control indicator does not
extinguish after a few seconds, or if it
illuminates while driving, there is a
fault in the ABS. The brake system
remains operational but without ABS
regulation.
If u illuminates together with R,
there is a fault in the braking system. Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. ABS unavailable , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 91. Seek the assistance of
a workshop immediately.

Autostop the brake servo unit will still be operational.
Do not remove ignition key until
vehicle is stationary, otherwise the steering wheel lock could engage
unexpectedly.
Check oil level before seeking the
assistance of a workshop 3 144.
Change engine oil Diesel engines with diesel particle
filter
I flashes red.
Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and extinguishes shortly
after the engine starts.
The engine oil life monitor lets you know when to change the oil. Control
indicator I will flash to indicate that
engine oil life has been diminished
and the oil needs changing.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. Change engine oil , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 91.
Based on driving conditions, the
interval at which an oil change will be
indicated can vary considerably.

flash in the following ways:
● for one minute every two hours, or
● for three minute cycles with I off
for intervals of five seconds
The warning will be repeated every
time the engine is started, until the
engine oil is changed and the service display is reset. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.

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 may be a controlled
reduction in power steering assist and
vehicle speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 117.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver's side.
Driving downhill
Engage a gear when driving downhill to ensure that sufficient brake
pressure is available.

Driving and operating115SteeringIf 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.Caution
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is
stationary, as this may damage
the power steering pump.
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.
Additionally, the cleaning process of
the diesel particle filter may take
place more often.
Diesel particle filter 3 121.
Autostop may be inhibited to allow for
charging of the vehicle battery.

116Driving and operatingSteering wheel lock
Remove key from ignition switch and
turn steering wheel until it engages.
Starting the engine
Turn key to position 1 and move the
steering wheel slightly to release the
steering wheel lock.
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedal.
Manual transmission automated:
operate brake pedal, the transmission
automatically shifts to N (neutral).
Do not operate the accelerator pedal.
Diesel engine: turn key to position 1
for preheating until control
indicator ! extinguishes.
Turn key briefly to position 2 and
release.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn key back to position 0.
Autostop During an Autostop, the engine is
restarted automatically by depressing
the clutch pedal.
Vehicles with manual transmission
automated (MTA): Shift to a forward
gear, release brake pedal or move
lever to +, – or R to enable an
automatic restart.
Stop-start system 3 117.Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged vehicle
battery.
Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully
protect the engine.
Vehicle shutdown
Fuel cut-off system In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.
