automatically when:
● The vehicle is stationary.
● The ignition has been switched off.
● The driver's door is opened.
To release steering wheel lock, open
and close driver's door and switch on accessory mode or start the engine

Driving and operating155Operation on vehicles with
electronic key system in case of
failure
If either the electronic key fails or the
battery of the electronic key is weak,
the Driver Information Centre may
display No Remote Detected or
Replace Battery in Remote Key when
you try to start the vehicle.
Open the cover of the centre console
in front of the gear shift lever. Place
the electronic key across with buttons
upside in the transmitter pocket
beside the power outlet, as shown in
the illustration.
Other objects, e.g. other keys,
transponder, tags, coins etc. must be removed from the pocket.
Depress the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission) and press
Engine Start/Stop .
To switch off the engine, press
Engine Start/Stop again. Remove the
electronic key from the transmitter
pocket.
This option is intended for
emergencies only. Replace the
electronic key battery as soon as
possible 3 21.
For unlocking or locking the doors,
see fault in radio remote control unit
or electronic key system 3 23.
Retained power off The following electronic systems can
work until the driver's door is opened
or for 10 minutes after the ignition is switched off:
● power windows
● sunroof
● power outletsStarting the engine
Vehicles with power button
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedal.
Automatic transmission: operate
brake pedal and move selector lever
to P or N.
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Press Engine Start/Stop briefly: an
automatic procedure operates the
starter with a short delay until the engine is running.

156Driving and operatingTo switch off the engine when vehicleis stationary, press
Engine Start/Stop briefly. Automatic
transmission: apply the parking brake
and engage P.
Manual transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be started
by depressing the clutch pedal
3 157.
Automatic transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be started
by releasing the brake pedal 3 157.
Emergency engine shut off during driving
If the engine needs to be switched offduring driving in case of emergency,
press Engine Start/Stop for more than
two seconds or press twice briefly
within five seconds.9 Danger
Switching off the engine during
driving may cause loss of power
support for brake and steering
systems. Assistance systems and
airbag systems are disabled.
Lighting and brake lights will
extinguish. Therefore power down the engine and ignition while
driving only when required in case of emergency.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
Starting 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.
With temperatures below -30 °C the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx.
five minutes. The selector lever must
be in position P.
Automatic Starter Control
This function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not need to hold Engine Start/Stop
pressed. Once applied, the system
will go on starting automatically until
the engine is running. Because of the checking procedure, the engine startsrunning after a short delay.
Possible reasons for a non-starting
engine:
● Clutch pedal not operated (manual transmission).
● Brake pedal not operated or selector lever not in P or N
(automatic transmission).
● Timeout occurred.
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.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle
is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator pedal is released.
Depending on driving conditions, the
overrun cut-off may be deactivated.

Driving and operating157Stop-start systemThe stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.
DeactivationDeactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing Ò. Deactivation
is indicated when the LED in the
button illuminates.
AutostopVehicles with manual transmission
An Autostop can be activated at a
standstill or at a low speed up to
14 km/h.
Activate a conventional Autostop as
follows:
● Depress the clutch pedal.
● Set the lever to neutral.
● Release the clutch pedal.
The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.Indication
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position in
the tachometer.
After restarting, the idle speed is
indicated.
During an Autostop, the heating and
brake performance will be
maintained.
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.
