Driving economically ECO mode
ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
Activation
Press ECO. Control indicator ECO
illuminates in the instrument cluster when activated.

132Driving and operatingNote
The use of ECO mode may affect the performance of the climate control
system 3 118.
During driving, it is possible to
temporarily disable ECO mode, e.g.
to increase engine performance, by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly.
ECO mode is reactivated when
pressure is reduced on the
accelerator pedal.
Deactivation
Press ECO again. Control indicator
ECO extinguishes in the instrument
cluster.
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 3 137.
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.Steering
If 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
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and
is held in that position for more
than 15 seconds, damage may
occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.

134Driving and operatingIf the electronic key is not inside the
vehicle, a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 103.
Note
Do not put the electronic key in the
load compartment during driving, as
this is outside of the detection zone
(indicated by a warning chime at low
speed 3 105 and a message in the
Driver Information Centre 3 104).
Note
In the event the electronic key is kept in the front passenger compartment
and a message appears in the Driver
Information Centre (possibly
accompanied by a warning chime)
indicating that it is out of reception
range, we recommend inserting the
electronic key in the card reader.
Some functions, e.g. Infotainment
system, are available for use as soon
as you enter the vehicle.Accessory power mode
Press START/STOP without
operating clutch or brake pedal to
enable further electrical functions to
be operated.
These functions switch off
automatically after a delay.
Engine start
Operate clutch and brake pedal and press START/STOP . Release button
after starting procedure begins.
If a gear is engaged, the engine can
be started only by operating the clutch pedal and pressing the
START/STOP button.
In some cases, it may be necessary
to move the steering wheel slightly
while pressing START/STOP to
release the steering wheel lock. A
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre 3 103.
At very low outside temperatures (e.g. below -10 °C) keep the clutch pedal
depressed while pressing
START/STOP until the engine starts.If one of the starting conditions is not
applied, a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 103.
Vehicle messages 3 104.
Engine stop
Electronic key must be inside the
vehicle, either in the card reader or
the front passenger compartment.
With the vehicle stationary, press
START/STOP to stop the engine. The
steering wheel lock is engaged when
the driver's door is opened and the
vehicle is locked.
If the electronic key is not detected, a corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre 3 103.
In this event, press START/STOP for
2 seconds to stop the engine.
Central locking system 3 26.
Retained power off Press START/STOP for more than
2 seconds. The engine is stopped
while some functions, e.g.
Infotainment system, are available for
use for approx. 10 minutes.

Driving and operating155Speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum
speed above 30 km/h.
Switching on the system
Press U. Control indicator U
illuminates yellow in the instrument
cluster.
Cruise control speed limiter function
is now in standby mode and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
press < or ]. The current speed is
recorded.
The vehicle can be driven normally
but it will not be possible to exceed the programmed speed limit except in an
emergency.
Where the limit speed cannot be
maintained, e.g. when driving on a
steep decline, the limit speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre
3 103, accompanied by a warning
chime.
Increase limit speed
The limit speed can be increased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping <
repeatedly.
Decrease limit speedThe limit speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping ]
repeatedly.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency, it is
possible to exceed the limit speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
The limit speed will flash in the DriverInformation Centre 3 103 during this
period, accompanied by a warning chime.
Release the accelerator pedal and the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.
Deactivation of the functionality
Press §. The speed limiter is
deactivated and the vehicle can be driven normally.
The limit speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Activation of the functionality Press R. The speed limiter function is
reactivated.
Pressing < will also reactivate the
speed limiter function, but at the
current vehicle speed only, not the
stored speed.
Switching off the system Press U. The yellow control indicator
U extinguishes in the instrument
cluster.

170Vehicle careCaution
Do not allow the engine oil level todrop below the minimum level!
We recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
the last change.
Between the MIN and MAX marks a
volume of approx. 2.1 l for engines R9M 408, R9M 413 and R9M 415
respectively approx. 3.5 l for engines
R9M 450 and R9M 452 can be filled
in.
The engine oil level must not exceed the maximum mark MAX on the
dipstick.Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out. If the oil exceeds the maximum level, do
not start the vehicle and contact a
workshop.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil, we
recommend using a funnel to top-up the engine oil. Ensure funnel is
securely located onto the filler pipe.
After topping-up, put the funnel into a
plastic bag and stow it securely.
A stabilization of the engine oil
consumption will not take place until
the vehicle has been driven several
thousand kilometres. Only then can
the actual degree of consumption be
established.
If consumption exceeds more than
0.6 l every 1000 km after this running-
in period, consult a workshop.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Engine air filter
Engine air flow indicator
On certain models, an indicator is
located in the engine induction
system and indicates if the air-intake
to the engine is restricted.
Clear:No restrictionRed tell-tale:Restricted
If the red tell-tale is displayed when
the engine is running, consult a
workshop.
