Starting-off and Driving
Setting steering wheel position
You can set the height and the forw ard/back position of the steering
wheel to the desired position.
– Adjust the driver seat ⇒page 59.
– Pull the lever below the steering column ⇒fig. 112 down ⇒. – Set the steering wheel to the desired position (concerning height and
forward/back position).
– Then push the lever up against the steering column until it locks into place.
WARNING
•You must not adjust the steering wh eel when the vehicle is moving!
•The driver must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering
wheel ⇒fig. 113 . Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the
airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
•For s a fe t y re a s ons the le v e r m ust a lwa y s b e fi rm l y pus he d up t o a vo id the
steering wheel altering its position unintentionally when driving - risk of
accident!
•If you adjust the steering wheel furthe r towards the head, you will reduce
the protection offered by the driver airb ag in the event of an accident. Check
that the steering wheel is aligned to the chest.
•When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the
outer edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Never hold the steering
wheel firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle
of the steering wheel or at the inner steering wheel edge). In such cases,
injuries to the arms, the hands and the head can occur when the driver
airbag is deployed.

Ignition lock
Petrol engines
- ignition switched off, engine off
- ignition switched on
- start engine
Diesel engines - fuel supply interrupted, ignition switched off, engine off
- heating glow plugs on, ignition switched on
•You should not switch on any major elec trical components during the heating
period otherwise the vehicle batt ery will be drained unnecessarily.
- start engine
Applies to all models:
Position
To lock the steering , with the ignition key withdrawn, turn the steering wheel until
the steering locking pin is heard to engage. You should always lock the steering as
a general rule if you leave your vehicle. This acts as a deterrent against possible theft
of your vehicle ⇒.
Position Move the steering wheel back and forward a little if the ignition key cannot, or
cannot easily be turned into this position
, in order to release the steering lock.
Position
The engine is started in this position. At the same time switched on low beam or
main beam or other electrical compon ents with major power consumption are
briefly switched off. The ignition key moves back into position when one
releases the key.
The ignition key must be turned back into position each time before starting the
engine again. The starter repeat lock in th e ignition lock prevents the starter being
engaged when the engine is r unning and thus getting damaged.
Ignition key withdrawal lock (automatic gearbox)
You can only withdraw the ignition key after switching off the ignition if the selector
lever is in position P.
WARNING
•When driving, the ignition key must always be in the position (igni-
tion switched on) without the engine running. This position is indicated by
the warning lights coming on. If this is not the case, it could result in unex-
pected locking of the steerin g wheel - risk of accident!
•Only remove the ignition key from the ignition lock when the vehicle has
come to a standstill (put on the handbrake or select the selector lever posi-
tion P). The steering lock can enga ge immediately - risk of accident!
•Always withdraw the ignition key if you are going to leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the
vehicle. The children might otherwise st art the engine or operate electrical
equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!

Selector lever positions
The selector lever position you have engaged is shown in the information display
of the instrument cluster with the co rresponding gear symbol highlighted
⇒ fig. 123 .
P - Parklock
The driven wheels are locked mechanically in this position.
The Parklock must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary ⇒.
If you wish to move the select or lever into or out of this position, you must press the
Shiftlock button in the handle of the select or lever and at the same time depress the
brake pedal. R - Reverse
Reverse gear must only be engaged when
the vehicle is stationary and the engine
idling ⇒ .
The brake pedal must be depressed and at the same time the Shiftlock must be
pressed, if you wish to obtain the selector lever positions R, P or N.
The reversing lights come on when the selector lever is moved into position R when
the ignition is also on.
N - Neutral
The transmission is in Neutral in this position.
The brake pedal must be depressed (if the lever is in its position for longer than 2
seconds) in order to move the selector lever out of the position N into another posi-
tion, with the ignition switched on, on a vehicle travelling at less than 5 km/h or on
a stationary vehicle.
D - Drive, position for driving forward
When the selector lever is in this position, the forward gears are shifted up and
down automatically in line with engine load, vehicle speed and the dynamic shift
programme (DSP).
You must depress the brake pedal ⇒ if you wish to move the selector lever into
position D from N when the vehicle is travelling at less than 5 km/h or is stationary.
In certain circumstances (e.g. when driving in mountainous regions or when towing
a trailer) it may be beneficial to select the manual shift programme ⇒page 113 for
a short time in order to adapt the gearbox ratios manually to the driving situations.
4 - Position when driving in hilly areas
We recommend this position if driving with the selector lever in position D would,
in certain circumstances, result in the gearbox frequently shifting between fourth
and fifth gears.
The gearbox then shifts up and down automa tically into the first, second, third and
fourth gears in line with engine load and vehicle speed. Fifth gear is not engaged in
this case. This makes it possible to expl oit greater engine braking power when the
accelerator is released ⇒.

Shiftlock button
The Shiftlock button in the handle of select or lever prevents certain selector lever
positions being engaged inadvertently. The selector lever lock is cancelled when
you press the Shiftlock button.
Keylock - Ignition key withdrawal lock
You can only withdraw the ignition key after switching off the ignition if the selector
lever is in position P. If the ignition key is withdrawn, the selector lever is blocked in
position P.
Kickdown function
The kickdown function provides you with maximum acceleration
power.
Depressing the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point casues the automatic
gearbox to shift down into a lower gear (in line with vehicle speed and engine
speed). The gearbox shifts up into the next higher gear when the engine has
reached its maximum revolutions.
WARNING
Please note that using the kickdown fu nction can result in the driven wheels
spinning on a smooth or slippery road surface - risk of skidding!
Dynamic shift programme
The automatic gearbox of your vehicle is controlled electronically. Shifting up and
down through the gears is performed auto matically on the basis of pre-defined
driving programmes.
Adopting a moderate style of driving will cause the gearbox to select the most
economical driving programme. Shifting up into a higher gear as soon as possible
and shifting down as late as possible will have a favourable effect on your fuel
consumption. Adopting a
faster style of driving with rapid movements of the accelerator pedal
combined with sharp acceleration and freq uent changes in speed, exploiting the
top speed of the car or operating the kick down function, will cause the gearbox to
switch over to the sporty driving programme. Shifting up later into a higher gear
makes it possible to fully exploit the powe r reserves of the engine. The gearbox also
then shifts down at higher engine speeds than is the case for the economy-oriented
programmes.
Selecting the most appropriate driving programme for the particular style of driving
is a continuous process. Irrespective of this it is, however, possible to switch into a
sporty driving programme by depressing the accelerator rapidly. The gearbox shifts
down into a lower gear matching the speed of the car and this allows you to accel-
erate rapidly (e.g. when overtaking) without having to depress the accelerator pedal
fully into the kickdown range. The original programme will be reactivated to match
your particular style of driving once the gearbox has shifted up again.
When driving in hilly regions, the gears are selected to match uphill and downhill
sections. This avoids the gearbox frequently shifting up and down when negotiating
an uphill stretch. Depressing the brake pedal while driving downhill causes the
gearbox to shift down into the next lower gear. This makes it possible for you to
exploit the engine braking power withou t the need for shifting gears manually.
