2. Close tailgate manually.
3. Switch on ignition.Seek the assistance of a workshop if
the problem is not solved.
General hints for operating
tailgate9 Danger
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
Note
The operation of the power tailgate
is disabled under low vehicle battery
conditions. In this case, the tailgate
may not even by manually operable.
Note
With the power tailgate disabled and all doors unlocked, the tailgate can
only be operated manually. In this
event, manually closing the tailgate
requires significantly greater force.
Note
At low outside temperatures the
tailgate may not open fully by itself.
In this case lift the tailgate manually
to its normal end position.

Driving and operating145Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 194, 3 245 could
damage the catalytic converter or
electronic components.
Unburnt petrol 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.
AdBlue
General information
The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust
system. The ammonia released by
the fluid reacts with nitrous gases
(NO x) from the exhaust and turns it
into nitrogen and water.
The designation of this fluid is
AdBlue ®
. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32% urea and
68% water.9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
The typical AdBlue consumption is
approx. two litres per 1000 km, but
can also be higher depending on
driving behaviour (e.g. high load or
towing).
AdBlue tank
At a remaining volume of approx. five litres, there is a liquid level switch.
Warning messages are displayed
only below that threshold. Tank
volume 3 249.

168Driving and operatingPressing ß to activate the speed
limiter deactivates cruise control.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.
Driver's attention ● Use adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it again.
● Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or
heavy dirt, as the radar sensor
can be covered by a water film,
dust, ice or snow. This reduces or suppresses completely the
visibility. In case of sensor
blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
● Do not use the system when the spare wheel is in use.System limits9Warning
The system's automatic brake
force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be
sufficient to avoid a collision.
● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding
vehicle. So if a new vehicle is
detected, the system may
accelerate instead of braking.
● Adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.
● Adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and
animals for braking and driving
off.
● Adaptive cruise control considers
stopped vehicles only at low
speed.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.
● Do not use adaptive cruise control on roads with an incline ofmore than 10%.
As the radar's field of detection is
quite narrow, it is possible that the
system may not detect:
● Vehicles of reduced width (motorcycles, scooters...).
● Vehicles not running in the middle of the lane,
● Vehicles entering a corner.
● Vehicles suddenly pulling out.
Bends
The adaptive cruise control calculates
a predicted path based on the
centrifugal force. This predicted path
considers the current bend
characteristic, but cannot consider a

182Driving and operating
Move forwards and backwards while
observing the warnings of the Parking
assist until the end of manoeuvre is
indicated. The manoeuvre is
complete when the vehicle's front
wheels are out of the parking slot.

the vehicle.
Display indication
The instructions on the display show: ● General hints and warning messages.
● The demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected.
●The direction of driving during the
parking manoeuvre.
● The demand to shift into reverse or first gear.
● The demand to stop or to drive slowly.
● The successful completion of the
parking manoeuvre indicated by
a pop-up symbol and a chime.
● The cancelling of a parking manoeuvre.
Deactivation The current park assist manoeuvre is
cancelled via the button to return to
the previous screen in the Colour-
Info-Display. To deactivate the
system completely, press ¼ in the
centre console.
The system is deactivated
automatically:
● if the ignition is switched off
● if stalling the engine
● if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes of selection of the typeof manoeuvre● after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre
● if the electronic stability control (ESC) is triggered
● if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the stated limit
● when the driver interrupts movement of the steering wheel
● after 4 manoeuvre cycles (a manoeuvre cycle consists of one
rear move and one forward
move)
● on opening the driver's door ● if one of the front wheels encounters an obstacle
● parking manoeuvre successfully ended
Deactivation by the driver or by the
system during manoeuvring will be
indicated on the display. Additionally,
an acoustic signal sounds.
The system is switched off
automatically when towing a
electrically connected trailer.
Contact your dealer to switch off the
system for a prolonged period.

Driving and operating185No alert will be given in the following
situations:
● In the presence of non-moving objects (parked vehicles,
barriers, street lamps, road
signs...).
● With vehicles moving in the opposite direction.
● Driving on a winding road or a sharp corner.
● When passing (or being passed by) a very long vehicle (lorry,
coach...) which is at the same time detected at the rear in the
blind spot angle and present in
the driver's forward field of vision.
● In very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are
confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
● When passing too quickly.
Deactivation The system is deactivated in the
vehicle personalisation 3 106. B
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Additionally, an acoustic signal
sounds.The state of the system is stored when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing an
electrically connected trailer.
Due to adverse weather conditions
such as heavy rain, false detections
may occur.
Fault
In the event of a fault, B flashes for a
few moments in the instrument panel,
accompanied by F and a
display message. Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Panoramic view system
This system allows views of the
vehicle's surroundings to be
displayed as a nearly 360° picture in
the Info display, like a bird's eye view.
The system uses: ● rear camera, installed in the tailgate
● ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper●front camera, installed in the front
grill below the enblem
● ultrasonic parking sensors in the front bumper
The screen in the Info display is
divided into two parts: on the right
there is a view from above the vehicle,
and on the left there is the view from
the rear or the front displayed. The
parking sensors complete the
information on the view from above
the vehicle.
Activation The panoramic view system is
activated by:
● engaging a gear or gearbox in a neutral position (front view)
● engaging reverse gear (rear view)
● manually in the view selection menu
● approaching too close to an object ahead
● driving up to 20 km/h

System limitations
Caution
For optimal operation of the
system, it is important to keep the
lense of the camera in the tailgate between the number plate lightsand the lense in the front grill
below the enblem always clean. Rinse the lenses with water and
wipe with a soft cloth.
Do not clean the lenses with a
steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
The panoramic view system may not operate properly when:
● The surrounding is dark.
● The sun or the beam of headlights is shining directly into
the camera lenses.
● During nighttime driving.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● The camera lenses are blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer. ● The vehicle had an accident.● There are extreme temperature changes.
Rear view camera The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing by displaying a
view of the area behind the vehicle.
The view of the camera is displayed
in the Info-Display.9 Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view and the
parking assist sensors, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the
vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse or park the vehicle
using only the rear view camera.
Always check the surrounding of
the vehicle before driving.
Switching on
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.

190Driving and operating● The vehicle is towing anelectrically connected trailer.
● The vehicle had a rear end accident.
● There are extreme temperature changes.
Lane departure warning The lane departure warning system
observes the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving via a front camera loacted at the top of the
windscreen. The system detects lane
changes and warns the driver in the
event of an unintended lane change
via visual and acoustic signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
● No operation of turn signals.
● No brake pedal operation.
● No active accelerator operation or speeding-up.9Warning
This system is a driving aid that
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Activation
After ignition is switched on, the lane
departure warning system is
activated. If the system is activated,
the LED in the button ½ is not
illuminated. To activate the system
when the system is deactivated,
press ½.
The system is only operable at
vehicle speeds above 60 km/h and if
lane markings are available.
When the system recognises an
unintended lane change, the control
indicator ) flashes yellow.
Simultaneously a chime sound is
activated.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by
pressing ½. If the system is
deactivated, the LED in the button ½
illuminates.
At speeds below 60 km/h the system
is inoperable.

Driving and operating193Switch off the system if the system is
disturbed by tar marks, shadows,
road cracks, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections.9 Warning
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, otherwise
vehicle damage, injury or death
could occur.
Lane keep assist does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
The system may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give an alert,
even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the lane keep
assist may not be sufficient to
avoid a lane departure.
The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences (road condition and
surface, weather etc). The driver
has full responsibility to control the
vehicle and is always required to keep the hands on the steeringwheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.
Driver alert
The driver alert system monitores the driving time and the vigilance of the
driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the
driver is based on the trajectory
variations of the vehicle compared to
the lane markings.
The system includes a driving time
alert combined with driver drowsiness detection.
9 Warning
The system cannot replace the
need for vigilance on the part of
the driver. It is recommended that
you take a break as soon as you
feel tired or at least every two
hours. Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
Activation or Deactivation
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 106
The state of the system stays in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Driving time alert The driver gets notified by a pop-upreminder symbol € in the Driver
Information Centre simultaneously with a acoustic alert if the driver has
not taken a break after two hours of
driving at a speed above 65 km/h. The
alert is repeated hourly until the
vehicle is stopped, no matter how
vehicle speed evolves.
The counting of driving time alert is
reset when the ignition has been
switched off for a few minutes.
Driver drowsiness detection The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance. A camera at the top of the
windscreen detects variations in
