Driving and operating131Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
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 the
vehicle battery.

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.
Stop-start system
The 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. It restarts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch
pedal is depressed.
A vehicle battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the
vehicle battery is sufficiently charged
for a restart.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.
If the below conditions are not
fulfilled, an Autostop is prohibited and
control indicator \ illuminates in the
instrument cluster 3 101.
Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing Î. LED in the
button illuminates to indicate
deactivation and a corresponding message appears in the Driver
Information Centre 3 102.
If deactivated manually, it is possible to reactivate the stop-start system by
pressing Î again; LED extinguishes
in the button and a corresponding
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is
reactivated automatically the next
time the ignition is switched on.

be possible if a door or the bonnet is
open.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during engine restart may be
noticeable.
If the Infotainment system is active,
audio sound may briefly be reduced
or interrupted during the restart.
Fault
If a fault occurs in the stop-start
system, the LED in Î illuminates,
