public safety answering point (PSAP).

Instruments and controls129A minimum set of data including
vehicle and location information will
be sent to the PSAP.
Note
Establishing an emergency call may
not be possible in areas without
sufficient network availability or due
to hardware damage during an
accident.
Automatic crash notification
In case of an accident with airbag
deployment, an automatic
emergency call is established and an
automatic crash notification will be
transmitted to the next public safety answering point.
Emergency assistance
In case of an emergency you can also manually place an emergency call by
pressing the red SOS button for more
than two seconds. The LED flashes to confirm that a connection to the
nearest PSAP is being established.
The LED illuminates steadily as long
as the call is active.
Pressing the SOS button immediately
a second time will terminate the call.
The LED switches off.Status LED

Climate control151Air conditioning regular
operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when the
outside temperature is too low.
Service For optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended to annually check the
climate control system, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check

Driving and operating157Starting the vehicle at lowtemperatures
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 .
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.
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.
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.Without touchscreen
The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the button D is not
illuminated. To activate the system
when the system is deactivated,
press D. If the stop-start system is
temporarily not available and the
button D is pressed, the LED in the
button flashes.With touchscreen
The system can be activated in the
vehicle personalisation 3 124. If the
stop-start system is temporarily not
available, the control indicator D
flashes for a few seconds.
DeactivationWithout touchscreen
Press D to deactivate the stop-start
system. The deactivation is indicated
when the LED in the button
illuminates.

190Driving and operatingEmergency automatic braking may
slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash. If the
vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for
up to 2 seconds.
● Automatic transmission: If the vehicle comes to a completestop, keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle
from starting off again.
● Manual transmission: If the vehicle comes to a complete
stop, the engine may stall.
Operation of the function may be felt
by a slight vibration in the brake
pedal.9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
Emergency automatic braking will
not brake outside of its operating
speed range and only responds to
detected vehicles and
pedestrians.
System limitations
In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need
service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance is
limited:
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● Detecting all vehicles, especially vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.
● Detecting a vehicle when weather limits visibility, such as infog, rain, or snow.
● Driving during nighttime.
● The windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign items, e.g.
stickers.
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and the driver should be ready to take action and apply the
brakes and / or steer the vehicle to
avoid crashes.
We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when towing a trailer or caravan
● when carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof rack
● when the vehicle is being towed with the engine running
● when tyre chains are fitted
● when a spare wheel is fitted that is smaller than the other wheels
● before using an automatic car wash with the engine running
● before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in a workshop
● if the windscreen has been damaged close to the camera

Driving and operating191● if the front bumper has beendamaged
● if the brake lamps are not working
Fault
In case the system requires a service,
m is illuminated in the instrument
cluster, a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre and an
audible signal is given.
If the system does not work as it
should do, vehicle messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 123.
Front pedestrian protection
Front pedestrian protection may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes with pedestrians when driving forward.
The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen and a radar sensor in
the front bumper to detect a
pedestrian directly ahead in your
path.Front pedestrian protection can
detect and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds between
5 km/h and 60 km/h.
During nighttime driving, system
performance is limited.9 Danger
Front pedestrian braking does not
provide an alert or automatically
brake the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian.
The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
when the pedestrian is not directly ahead, not fully visible, not
standing upright, or when part of a
group.
Front pedestrian protection includes:
● detecting front pedestrian ahead● front pedestrian alert
Front pedestrian protection is
activated together with forward
collision alert.
Forward collision alert 3 187.
Detecting front pedestrian ahead
A pedestrian ahead is indicated by a
symbol in the instrument cluster.
Front pedestrian alert
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a warning
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. A warning chime
is provided.
Cruise control or adaptive cruise control may be disengaged when the
front pedestrian alert occurs.
System limitations
In the following cases, front
pedestrian protection may not detect
a pedestrian ahead or the sensor
performance is limited:
● vehicle speed is out of range from
5 km/h to 60 km/h in forward gear
● the distance to an pedestrian ahead is more than 40 m
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow

Service and maintenance259General information
Service information
In order to ensure economical and
safe vehicle operation and to
maintain the value of your vehicle, it
is of vital importance that all
maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified.
The detailed, up-to-date service
schedule for your vehicle is available
at the workshop.
Severe operating conditions exist if one or more of the following
circumstances occur frequently: Cold starting, stop and go operation, e.g.
for taxis and police vehicles, trailer
operation, mountain driving, driving
on poor and sandy road surfaces,
increased air pollution, presence of
airborne sand and high dust content,
driving at high altitude and large
variations of temperature.
Under these severe operating
conditions, certain service work may
be required more frequently than the
regular service interval indicated inthe service display. Contact a
workshop for customised service
schedules.
