The corresponding warning lamp is:
"FASTEN SEAT BELT".
This warning lamp (only in some countries) lights up for about 6
seconds when the ignition is switched on as a reminder to fasten
your seat belts.
If the seat belt is not fastened an acoustic signal will sound after
switching on the ignition which will stop after about 6 seconds or
when the seat belt is fastened.
⇒"Seat belts" chapter.K
Priority 2 (yellow symbols)
An acoustic signal will sound if a yellow symbol appears. The
symbol is an indication of danger. The function must be checked as
soon as possible. If there are several failures at the same time, the
symbols will appear consecutively for about 2 seconds.

The corresponding warning lamp is:
"OIL SENSOR WORKSHOP!"
If the symbol flashes it probably means that the oil level sensor is
defective. Head immediately to a Technical Service Centre. You may
continue motoring, but you should check the oil level regularly, for
instance, every time you stop to fill up.

The corresponding warning lamp is:
"ENGINE FAILURE WORKSHOP".
If there was an electrical engine failure while driving the
corresponding warning lamp would light up (petrol engine) or flash
(diesel engine). The engine must be checked by a Technical Service
Centre immediately.

Take weight off seat cushion and pull up lever. The whole seat
cushion moves upwards. To adjust the seat cushion downwards,
push seat downwards with body weight
⇒ fig. 89.
Coat hanger
You can remove the clothes hook fitted to the head restraint. To do
this you must first remove the head restraint
⇒"Headrestraints"chapter. You can then simply pull the hook off the rods of the head
restraint.
Toy bag
The toy bag, which is in the form of a rucksack, can be hung from
the head restraint of a seat. In this way, your child can always see
and reach his/her toys during the journey. It is thus also possible
to prevent the bag from being flung forwards if you have to brake
suddenly or are involved in an accident.

Around the pedal area there should not be any foot mats or other
additional floor covering materials:
• In the case of defects on the brake system, a greater pedal travel
may be necessary.
• It should always be possible to depress the clutch and
accelerator pedals fully.
• All pedals must be able to return, unhindered, to their rest
positions.
For these reasons, the only foot mats which may be used are those
which leave the pedal area completely free and which are
prevented from slipping.

remove the securing hooks (see arrows).
In the interests of good handling ensure that the load (persons and
luggage) is distributed evenly. Heavy items should always be
carried as near to the rear axle as possible or better still, between
the axles.

⇒page 146. In this mode, the gearbox will shift up
later to make full use of the engine power reserves.
The downward shift occurs at a higher rate of revolutions than in
the economy programmes.
The gear box is self adapting, and continuously selects the most
suitable gear programme. At the same time, the driver can also
make the gear box switch to a more “sporty” programme by
pressing the accelerator quickly. Depending on road speed, this
makes the gearbox shift down early into a lower gear for quicker
acceleration (for instance to overtake another vehicle), without
having to press the accelerator all the way down to the kick-down
position. After the gear box has shifted back up it returns to the
original programme, depending on your style of driving.
The gear box adapts the gear shifts for uphill and downhill
gradients. This prevents the gearbox from shifting up and down
unnecessarily on uphill gradients. On downhill gradients, the
gearbox shifts down into a lower gear when the driver presses the
brake pedal. This makes use of the braking effect of the engine
without having to change down manually.N No

Depending on road resistance, for example when trailer towing or on uphill
stretches, a programme is automatically selected which provides more
power by shifting into a lower gear. This prevents frequent gear changes.
K
Selector lever lock
In positions “P P
” and “N N
” with the ignition switched on the selector
lever is locked. To move the selector lever out of these positions
the brake pedal must be depressed and the selector lever button
pushed-in. This prevents a gear being engaged inadvertently and
the vehicle unintentionally moving off.
A delay circuit prevents the selector lever from locking when it is
moved quickly past the “N N
” position (for instance from “R R
” to “D D
”).
This enables for example the vehicle to be “rocked” out of a
“bogged down” position. The shift lock only locks the selector
lever if it is left in the “N N
” position for more than about 1 second
without the brake pedal being depressed.
At speeds above 5 km/h the selector lever lock is automatically
switched-off in position “N N
”.

When the ignition is switched on the selector lever is locked in the
positions "P P

To unlock press the brakes. This way, you will prevent involuntary
shifting of gears and moving of the vehicle.
When the selector lever is in the positions "P P
" and "N N
" the driver
will see a display on the digital screen of the instrument panel with
the message "PRESS BRAKES TO SHIFT GEAR WHILE CAR
STATIONARY". Furthermore, the shift area will display the symbol
which appeared earlier.
The selector lever lock is automatically unlocked in the "N N

Using the handbrake
To apply the handbrake pull lever up firmly. On hills the 1st gear or
with automaticgearbox the parking lock should also be engaged.
The handbrake should always be applied so firmly that it is not
possible to drive inadvertently with the handbrake on.
When handbrake is applied with the ignition on, the brake warning
lamp comes on.
To release handbrake, pull lever up slightly, press locking knob
(arrow) in and push lever right down.

General notes
• Before starting, move gear lever to neutral (with automatic
gearbox, selector lever in “P P
” or “N N
” position) and apply handbrake
firmly.
• On vehicles with a manual gearbox depress the clutch pedal
when operating starter so that starter only has to turn engine.
• As soon as engine starts, release the ignition key so that starter
can disengage.
• After starting a cold engine it may sound noisy for a moment or
two because the oil pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for alarm.
