WARNING (Continued)■If the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S , R or Tiptronic mode,
then the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away by means of the
brake pedal, parking brake or using the Auto Hold function. Even when the
engine is idling, the power transmission is never completely interrupted –
the vehicle creeps.■
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever must always be set to P .
Otherwise, the vehicle could start to move - risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ If you want to move the selector lever from position N to position D / S whilst
driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.■
When stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
pedal – this may lead to gear damage.

To move the selector lever from mode N to D / S only the brake pedal is press-
ed.
The selector lever is not locked when quickly moving across the position N
(e.g. from R to D/S ). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck,
e.g. in a bank of snow. The selector lever lock will engage if the lever is in posi-
tion N for more than approx. 2 seconds without the brake pedal being de-
pressed.
If it is not possible to release the gear selector from mode P in the usual man-
ner, then this can be emergency unlocked » page 303.
Note
If you want to switch the selector lever from mode P to mode D/S or vice ver-
sa, move the selector lever quickly. This prevents that you accidentally select
mode R or N.

213Run in engine
During the first 1,500 km, the driving manner determines the quality of the
running in process on a new engine.
During the first 1,000 km , the engine should not be charged with more than
3/4 of the maximum permitted engine revs and without the trailer.
In the area of 1,000 to 1,500 kilometres , the engine load can be increased up
to the maximum permitted engine speed.
Tips for economical driving
The fuel consumption depends on the driving style, road condition, weather
conditions and the like.
For an economical driving style, the following instructions must be observed. ▶ Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
▶ Observe the recommended gear » page 44.
▶ Avoid full throttle and high speeds.
▶ Reduce idling.
▶ Avoid short distances.
▶ Ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure is maintained » page 286.
▶ Avoid unnecessary ballast.
▶ Remove the roof rack when it is not needed.
▶ Only switch on electrical consumers (e.g. seat heating) for as long as they are
needed. In the Infotainment menu 

Maximum permissible water lev-
el when driving through water
The following must be observed to avoid damage to the vehicle when driving
through bodies of water (e.g. flooded roads).
›
Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through bodies of
water. The water level must not reach above the lower edge of the lower
brace » Fig. 263 .
›
Drive at a maximum speed of walking pace, otherwise a shaft may form in
front of the vehicle which could enable water to enter the vehicle system
(e.g. in the air induction system of the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION■ Water entering the vehicle systems (e.g. the air induction system of the en-
gine) can cause serious damage to the vehicle!■
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
sible water level for your vehicle.
■
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. An vehicle
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.

Assist systems
General information
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Radar sensor
215WARNING■ The assistance systems only serve to support the driver and do not re-
lieve the driver of the responsibility for driving the vehicle.■
The increased safety provision, as well as the increased occupant protec-
tion provided by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take risks -
risk of accident!
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
■
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
■
Only enable, disable or set the assistance systems when you have the car
fully under control, in every traffic situation - risk of accident!
Radar sensor
Fig. 264
Installation location of the radar
sensor
Read and observe on page 215 first.
The radar sensor (hereinafter referred to only sensor) uses electromagnetic
waves to capture the traffic situation ahead of the vehicle. The radar is located
under a cover » Fig. 264.
The sensor is part of the ACC » page 243 and Front Assist » page 248systems.
The sensor function may be impaired in the event of one of the following sit-
uations arising. ▶ The sensor cover is soiled (e.g. with mud, snow and the like).
▶ The area in front of and around the sensor cover is obscured (e.g. by labels,
auxiliary headlights and the like(.
▶ When visibility is poor (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
▶ In exceptional cases, the sensor may be covered in the area beneath the cov-
er, e.g. due to snow.
If the sensor cover or the sensor is dirty or covered, a message to that effect
from the ACC system » page 248, Malfunctions or Front Assist » page 251, Mal-
functions system appears in the instrument cluster display.WARNING■
If you suspect that the sensor is damaged, deactivate the ACC system and
Front Assist system » page 245, » page 250 . Have the sensor checked by a
specialist garage.■
A collision or damage in the front or lower area of the vehicle could affect
the sensor function - there is risk of accident! Have the sensor checked by
a specialist garage.
■
Do not cover the area in front of and around the sensor cover. This can
lead to impaired function of the sensor - risk of accident!
CAUTION
Remove snow with a brush and ice with a solvent-free de-icer from the sensor

observed » page 215, in section Introduction .
Stability Control (ESC)
Read and observe
on page 216 first.
ESC improves vehicle stability in critical driving situations (e.g. if the vehicle
starts to skid) by the braking the individual wheels to maintain the direction.
During an ECS intervention, the warning light  flashes in the instrument clus-
ter.
ESC Sport

Anti-blocking system (ABS)
Read and observe
on page 216 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.
Engine drag torque control (MSR)
Read and observe
on page 216 first.
The MSR prevents the blocking tendency of the drive wheels when shiftingdown or with an abrupt deceleration (e.g. on icy or otherwise slippery road sur-
faces).
If the drive wheels lock, the engine speed is automatically increased. This re-
duces the braking effect of the engine, and the wheels can rotate freely again.

WARNING (Continued)■During manoeuvring, always observe the movement of the trailer and if
neccesary cancel the manoeuvring autonomously to prevent accidents or
damage to the vehicle and the trailer.■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
During parking manoeuvres on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) it is possible to stray from the calculated road. Therefore, use the
system with extreme caution in such situations.
CAUTION
■ The trailer position is evaluated by the rear camera based on the bending an-
gle of the drawbar and the steering movement carried out by the system. For
this reason, the drawbar must not be obstructed by external influences.■
The rear camera lens must not be contaminated, otherwise the system may
be unavailable or the system function my be significantly impaired.
Note
■ We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed of up to about 5
km/h.■
The parking process can be terminated at any time by pressing the button 
» Fig. 294 on page 238 or by a steering intervention.
■
The correct system function can only be ensured if a one- or two-axle trailer
is hitched without steered axle.
