56Seats, restraintsSeat belts
The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle, holding the occupants in
the seat position. Thereby the risk of
injury is considerably reduced.
9 Warning
Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people
not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time.
Child restraint system 3 64.
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage, soiling and
proper functionality.
Have damaged components replaced by a workshop. After an accident,
have the belts and triggered belt
pretensioners replaced by a
workshop.
Note
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from getting into the belt retractors.
Seat belt reminder
Indicates seat belt status for front seats by control indicators X and k,
or for rear seats by the symbol X in
the Driver Information Centre 3 105.
Belt force limiters
Stress on the body is reduced by the
gradual release of the belt during a
collision.Belt pretensioners
In the event of a head-on, rear-end or
side-on collision of a certain severity,
the front and rear outer seat belts are tightened. The front seat belts and the outer rear seat belts are tightened by
one pretensioner per seat.9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
pretensioners.
Deployment of the belt pretensioners
is indicated by continuous illumination
of control indicator v 3 106.
Triggered belt pretensioners must be replaced by a workshop. Belt
pretensioners can only be triggered
once.
Note
Do not affix or install accessories or
other objects that may interfere with
the operation of the belt
pretensioners. Do not make any
modifications to belt pretensioner components as this will invalidate
the operating permit of your vehicle.

Service display
The engine oil life system informs
when to change the engine oil and
filter. Based on driving conditions, the interval at which an engine oil and
filter change will be indicated can vary
considerably.
When the system has calculated that
engine oil life has been diminished,
Change Engine Oil Soon appears in
the Driver Information Centre. Have engine oil and filter changed by a
workshop within one week or
500 km, whichever occurs first.
This can be an additional engine oil

Driving and operating161Press Engine Start/Stop briefly: an
automatic procedure operates the
starter with a short delay until the engine is running, see automatic
starter control.
To switch off the engine when vehicle
is stationary, press
Engine Start/Stop briefly. Automatic
transmission: apply the parking brake
and engage P.
To start the engine during an
Autostop:
Manual transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be started
by depressing the clutch pedal
3 162.
Automatic transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be started
by releasing the brake pedal 3 162.
Emergency engine shut off during driving
If the engine needs to be switched off during driving in case of emergency,
press Engine Start/Stop for more than
2 seconds or press twice briefly within 5 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. 5 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.
