Starting the engineGeneral You can only start the engine only using an original ignition key.•
Place the gearshift lever into neutral (or place the selector lever to the position
P or N in the case of an automatic gearbox)
and put on the handbrake firmly before
starting the engine.•
The clutch pedal should be fully depressed when starting the engine which
means that the starter only
has to crank the engine.
•
Let go of the key as soon as the engine starts otherwise there may be damage
to the starter. The engine running noises may louder at
first be louder for
a short time after
starting the cold engine until oil pressure
can be built up in the hydraulic valve
clearance compensation. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem. If the engine does not start ... You can use the battery of anothe
r vehicle as a jump-start aid
⇒page 250.
It is only possible to tow-start vehicl
es fitted with a manual gearbox. The tow-
starting distance must not be more than 50 metres.
WARNING
•
Never run the engine in non ventilat
ed or enclosed areas. The exhaust
gases of the engine contain besides
the odorless and colourless carbon
monoxide a poisonous gas - hazard! Carbon monoxide can cause uncon- sciousness and death.•
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running.Caution
•
The starter may only be operated (ignition key position ), if the engine is not
running. If the starter is immediately oper
ated after switching off the engine, the
starter or the engine can be damaged.
•
Avoid high engine revolutions, full throttl
e and high engine loads as long as the
engine has not yet reached it
s normal operating temperature - risk of damaging the
engine!•
Vehicles which are fitted wi
th an exhaust gas catalyti
c converter should not be
tow-started over a distance of more than 50 metres.
For the sake of the environment
Never warm up the engine when the vehi
cle is standing. Drive off right away.
Through this the engine reaches its operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emissions are lower.Petrol enginesThese engines are fitted with a starter system which selects the correct fuel/air mixture for every external air temperature.•
Do not operate accelerator before and when starting engine.
•
Interrupt the attempt at starting after
10 seconds if the engine does not start
right awayand wait for about 30 se
conds before repeating the attempt.
•
It is possible that the fuse on the electric
al fuel pump is defect if the engine still
does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary
⇒page 256.
•
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
It may be necessary, if the engine is
very hot
, to slightly depress the accelerator
after the engine has started.Diesel enginesGlow plug system Diesel engines are equipped with a glow
plug system, the preglow period being
controlled automatically in
line with the coolant temperature and outside temper-
ature. The preglow indicator light

WARNING
•
Please note that the handbrake mu
st be fully released. A handbrake
which is only partially released can re
sult in the rear brakes overheating
which will have a negative effect on th
e operation of the brake system - risk
of accident! In addition this can result in premature wear of the rear brake pads.•
Never leave children unattended in th
e vehicle. The children might, for
example, release the handbrake or take
the vehicle out of gear. The vehicle
might then move off - risk of accident!
Caution
After the car has come to a stop, always firs
t of all apply the handbrake firmly before
then additionally engaging a gear (manual gearbox) or moving the selector lever into position
P (automatic gearbox).
Rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warning of obstacles behind the vehicle.The audible parking aid determines the distance between the rear bumper and an obstacle located behind the
vehicle with the aid of ultr
asound sensors. The tones
of the parking aid can be adapted in the menu of the information display* ⇒ page 30. The sensors are integrated in the rear bumper. Range of sensors The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 160 cm from the obstacle (area ⇒fig. 138
). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the
clearance is reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance
of approx. 30 cm (area ) - danger area.
You should not reverse any further after this signal sounds!
If the vehicle is
equipped with a factory-fitted towing device*, the border of the danger area starts - continuous tone - 5 cm further behind
the vehicle. The vehi
cle can be extended
through an installed deta
chable towing device.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio* or navigation*, the distance to the obstruction is shown graphically on the di
splay. On vehicles with a factory-fitted
towing device, the sensors are deactivated wh
en towing a trailer. The driver is also
informed of the radio* or the navigation
* by a graphic display (vehicle towing a
trailer) on the display. The radio* or navi
gation*, which is factory-fitted, can be set
so that the play function volume decreases when activating the parking aid, see Owner's Manual radio* or navigation*. This
improves the audibili
ty of the parking
aid. Activating The parking aid is activated automatically when
reverse gear
is engaged and the
ignition is turned on. This is confir
med by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating The parking aid is deactivated
by removing the reverse gear.
WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute fo
r the driver paying proper attention
and it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when parking the vehicle or carrying out similar manoeuvres.•
You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no
small obstacle, such as a rock, thin po
st, trailer drawbar etc., behind your

Note
•
The parking aid does not operate if you are towing a trailer (applies to models
which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).•
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 se
conds after switching the ignition on
and engaging reverse gear, and there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.•
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.Front and rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warning
of obstacles in front and behind
the vehicle.
The audible parking aid determines the dist
ance between the front or rear bumper
and an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The sensors are integrated in the front and rear bumper. The signal tones for the front parking aid sound higher as standard than for the rear parking aid. Th
e tones of the parking aid can be adapted
in the menu of the information display*
⇒page 30.
Range of sensors The distance warning begins at a distance
of about 120 cm from the obstacle in
front of the vehicle (area
⇒fig. 140
) and about 160 cm from the obstacle
behind the vehicle (area
⇒page 122, fig. 138
). The interval between the
warning signals becomes shorter as the clearance is reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance
of approx. 30 cm (area ) - danger area.
From this moment on do not continue driving!
If the vehicle is equipped with a
factory-fitted towing device*, the border
of the danger area
starts - continuous
tone - 5 cm further behind the vehicle.
The vehicle can be extended through an
installed detachable towing device. On vehicles equipped wi
th a factory-fitted radio* or na
vigation*, the distance to the
obstruction is shown graphically on the disp
lay. On vehicles with a factory-fitted
towing device, the rear sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The driver is also informed of the radio* or the navigation* by a graphic display (vehicle towing a trailer) on the display. The radio* or navi
gation*, which is factory-fitted, can be set
so that the play function volume decrea
ses when activating the parking aid, see

WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute fo
r the driver paying proper attention
and it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when reversing the vehicle or carrying ou
t similar manoeuvres.
•
You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no
small obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces
of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the parking aid. Thus, these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Note
•
Only the front parking aid operates if yo
u are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factor
y-fitted towing device*).
•
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
there is no obstacle close to your car, th
is indicates a system fault. The fault is
confirmed additionally when the symbol
flashes in the button
⇒page 123,
fig. 139
. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
•
The sensors must be kept clean and free
of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.
•
If the parking aid is activated and the se
lector lever of the automatic gearbox is
in the position , warning signal indicates interruption (vehicle can no longer move).Park Assist*Description and important informationThe park assist assists you when parkin
g in a suitable parallel parking place
between two vehicles or behind a vehicle. The park assist automatically searches fo
r suitable parking spaces after switching
on the ignition and when driving up to 30 km/h. During the parking procedure the park as
sist only takes over the steering move-
ments, the pedals continue to
be operated by the driver.
Function of the system is based on:•
Length and depth measurement of
the parking spaces when driving
•
Evaluation of the size
of the parking space
•
Definition of the correct position of the vehicle for parking
•
Calculating the line on which the vehi
cle drives backwards into the parking
place•
Actuation of the steering force assistan
ce, automatic spinning of the wheels of
the front axle when parking.
WARNING
The park assist does not take away the responsability from the driver when parking.•
Pay particular attention to small chil
dren and animals as they would not
be recognised by the se
nsors of the parking aid.
•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of th
e park assist or th
e parking aid. Thus,

these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.•
The external sound source of the park assist and the parking aid can be
disruptively influenced and under unfavourable conditions, objects or people cannot be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Caution
•
If other vehicles are parked
behind or on the kurb, the park assist guides your
vehicle beyond the kurb or onto it. Make sure that the wheels or the wheel rims of your vehicle are not damaged and
if necessary intervene in time.
•
You should satisfy yourself before parkin
g that there is no small obstacle, such
as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in
front or behind your vehicle. Such an
obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such as
wire mesh fences, powder snow etc...,
cannot be recognised by the system.
•
The evaluation of the parking place and the parking procedure depends on the
circumference of the wheels. The system does
not function correctly if your vehicle
is mounted with wheels of non-permissible size, snow chains or a temporary spare wheel (in order to reach the nearest workshop). If the tyres other than those excepted by the manufacturer are mounted,
the resulting position of the vehicle in
the parking place can differ slightly. This
can be avoided throug
h new calibration of
the system in a specialist garage.•
The accuracy of the evaluation for the
parking place can be influenced by the
incorrectly determined outside temperature if
the later is influenced by the thermal
radiation of the engine i.e for stop and go in a traffic jam.•
In order to avoid damaging the sensor
s while cleaning with high-pressure
cleaners or steam jets, the sensors must on
ly be directly sprayed for short periods
while a minimum distance of 10 cm must be observed.
Note
•
A component of the park assist is
the front and rear parking aid*.
•
The electronic stability programme (ESP)
must always be switched on for the
parking procedure.•
Only the front parking aid operates if you are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*). This is why it is not possible to park backwards with the help of th
e park assist when
towing a trailer.
•
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.Switch on display of the park assist in the information display*
