The remote control is out of range. In this case it will
be necessary to get cl oser t

o the vehicle and press
the corresponding button again.
Replacing the remote control battery
When pressing the buttons, if the control
lamp of the remote 1 flashes for approx. 5
or ange or does not light up
, the batt

eries
must be replaced.
The battery is located beneath a cover on
the back of the remote control.

Air conditioning
Function button: function
Departure time 1 , Departure time
2, Departure time 3 : Three differ
ent de-
parture times (hh.mm) may be programmed. If
the auxiliary heater should only be switched
on a certain day of the week, this can also be
selected.
Duration : The duration det ermines the oper
-
ating time of the auxiliary heater when switch-
ed on using the fast heating button  on the air conditioning controls. The duration is also
used to calculate the departure time for the
manual air conditioner. It can be set between
10 and 60 minutes at 10-minute intervals.
E This returns to the main menu. The programmed departure time determines
the appr
oximat

e time it should take to reach
the temperature set in the vehicle. The start of
the heating operation is determined automat-
ically depending on the outside temperature.
Checking the programming
When a departure time is activated and the
ignition is switched off the control lamp of the
fast heating button  lights up for approxi- mately 10 seconds. WARNING
Never programme the auxiliary heater so
that it swit ches itself on and is running in an
encl

osed space or an area with no ventila-
tion. The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless
and colourl
ess t

oxic gas. Carbon monoxide
can cause people to lose consciousness. It
can also cause death. Operating instructions
The auxiliary heater exhaust system located
belo
w the v

ehicle must be kept clear of snow,
mud and other objects. The exhaust fumes
must be able to exit freely. The emissions
generated by the auxiliary heater are re-
moved via an exhaust pipe fitted underneath
the vehicle.
On heating the vehicle interior, depending on
the outside temperature, the warm air is first
directed at the windscreen and then to the
rest of the vehicle interior through the air
vents. Directing the diffusers

Start and driving
The control lamps light up together when the
ignition is s wit
ched on and shoul
d turn off af-
ter approximately 2 seconds. This is the time
taken for the function check.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC helps to impr
o

ve safety. It reduces
the tendency to skid and improves the stabili-
ty and roadholding of the vehicle. The ESC
detects critical handling situations, such as
vehicle understeer or oversteer, or wheelspin
on the driving wheels. It stabilises the vehicle
by braking individual wheels or by reducing
the engine torque. The warning lamp will
flash on the instrument panel when the ESC is
intervening !.
The ESC includes the anti-lock brake system
(ABS), the hydraulic brake assist (HBA), the
traction control system (ASR), electronic dif-
ferential lock (EDS), electronic torque control
(XDS) and tractor-trailer sway mitigation*.
ESC also helps stabilise the vehicle by
changing the torque.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up un-
der braking until the vehicle has reached a
virtual standstill. You can continue to steer the
vehicle even when the brakes are on full.
Keep your foot on the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes. You will feel the brake pedal
pulsat
e whil

e the ABS is working.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
The brake assist system can reduce the re-
quired braking distance. The braking force is
automatically boosted if you press the brake
pedal quickly in an emergency. You must
keep pressing the brake pedal until the dan-
ger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match
the amount of grip available. This helps the
car to start moving, accelerate or climb a
gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes
the spinning wheel and directs the power to
the other driven wheel. This function is active
up to approximately 100 km/h (62 mph).
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automati-
cally if subjected to excessive loads. The ve-
hicle can still be driven. The EDL will switch on
again automatically when the brake has
cooled down. Tractor-trailer sway mitigation*
If the vehicle is pulling a tr
ailer, it will control
the following: tractor-trailers tend to sway.
When the swaying of the trailer is felt by the
vehicle and detected by the ESC, it will auto-
matically brake the towing vehicle within the
limits of the system and mitigate the sway.
Tractor-trailer sway mitigation is not available
in all countries.
Electronic torque management (XDS)
When taking a curve, the driveshaft differen-
tial mechanism allows the outer wheel to turn
at a higher speed than the inner wheel. In this
way, the wheel that is turning faster (outer
wheel) receives less drive torque than the in-
ner wheel. This may mean that in certain sit-
uations the torque delivered to the inner
wheel is too high, causing the wheels to spin.
On the other hand, the outer wheel is receiv-
ing a lower drive torque than it could transmit.
This causes an overall loss of lateral grip on
the front axle, resulting in understeer or
“lengthening” of the trajectory.
The XDS system can detect and correct this
effect via the sensors and signals of the ESC.
Via the ESC, the XDS will brake the inside
wheel and counter the excess driving torque
of that wheel. This means that the driver

There is a fault in the Start-Stop system. Take
the vehicle to a workshop to have the fault re-
paired. Description and operation The Start-Stop system helps save fuel and
reduce CO

In St art

-Stop mode, the engine will automati-
cally switch off when the vehicle stops or is
stopping; for example when stopping at traf-
fic lights. The ignition remains switched on
during the stopping phase. The engine auto-
matically switches back on when required. In
this situation, the light of the START ENGINE STOP button stays on.
As soon as the ignition is swit ched on, the
St

art-Stop function is automatically activa-
ted.

tem can be found on the Easy Connect sys-
tem: by pressing the button  in the Vehicle
status menu.
