“START - STOP”*
2
“START - STOP”*The “START-STOP” system helps you to save fuel while at the same time reducing
harmful exhaust emissions and CO
2 emissions.
The function is automatically activated ea ch time the ignition is switched on.
In the start-stop mode, the engine automatica lly switches to the vehicle's idle phase,
e.g. when stopped at traffic lights.
Information regarding the current state of th e “START-STOP” system is indicated in the
display of the instrument cluster.
Automatic engine shut down (stop phase)– Stop the vehicle (where nece ssary, apply the handbrake).
– Take the vehicle out of gear.
– Take your foot off the clutch.Automatic engine restart (start phase).– Push down on the clutch.Switching the “START-STOP” system on and offYou can switch the “START STOP” syst em on/off by pressing the button fig. 2 .
When start-stop mode is deactivated, the warning light in the button lights up.
If the vehicle is in the stop phase when ma nually switching off the system, the engine
starts immediately. The “START-STOP” system is very complex. Some of the procedures are hard to check
without servicing. The general conditions
for the proper functioning of the “START-
STOP” system are listed in the following overview.

WARNING
•
The brake servo unit and power steerin g only operate if the engine is
running.
•
Never let the vehicle roll with the engine switched off.Caution
If the “START-STOP” system is used at very high outside temperatures over a very long
period of time, the vehicle battery can be damaged.
Note
•
Changes to the outdoor temperature can have an effect on the internal tempera-
ture of the vehicle battery even after severa l hours. If the vehicle remains outdoors for
a long time in minus temperatures or in dire ct sunlight, it can take several hours until
the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for
proper operation of the “START STOP” system.
•
In some instances it may be necessary to start the engine manually with the igni-
tion key (e.g. when the seat belt is not insert ed or the driver's door is opened for more
than 30 seconds). Follow the messages in the display of the instrument cluster.
•
If the air conditioning Climatronic* is running in automatic mode, under certain
conditions, the engine may no t switch off automatically.
Charging the vehicle battery
Caution
On vehicles with the “START/STOP” system, the negative cable of the charger must not
be connected directly to the negative pole of the vehicle battery, but only to the engine
earth page 4, fig. 3 .

Recommended settings for the Climatic control elements:AUX-IN* and MDI* inputsThe MDI input is located underneath the arm rest of the front passenger seat.Grades of petrolPrescribed fuel - unleaded petrol 98/(95) RON
Use unleaded petrol 98 RON. You can also use unleaded RON 95. However some loss
of power is to be expected when doing so.
If unleaded RON 98 or RON 95 is not available, you ca n refuel with unleaded RON 91
in an emergency. After refuelling, conti nue driving at medium engine speeds and
minimum engine load. Driving at high engine speeds or heavy engine loads can lead to serious engine damage! Refuel with pe
trol with the specified octane number as
often as possible.
Fuel with a lower octane number than RON 91 must not be used even in an emer-
gency. Otherwise you can ca use serious engine damage!

Tyre repair kit*General informationThe tyre repair kit is located in a box und er the carpet in the luggage compartment.
Use the tyre repair kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or a
puncture with diameters up to 4 mm. Do no t remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws or
nails, from the tyre!
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately.
The repair with the tyre repair kit is not at all intended to replace a permanent repair
on the tyre, this repair only serves to reach the next specialist garage.
Do not use the tyre repair kit:•
to repair wheel damage,
•
in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F),
•
with tears or punctures greater than 4 mm in size,
•
to repair damage to the tyre wall,
•
when driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre,
•
if the use-by-date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
WARNING
•
If you find yourself in flowing traffic switch on the hazard warning lights
system and place the warning triangle on the side of the road at the prescribed
distance from your vehicle. Comply with the national legal regulations. In this
way you are protecting not only yourself but also other road users.
•
Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the traffic flow. Park on as flat
and firm a surface as possible.
•
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre.
•
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h, (50 mph).
•
Avoid accelerating at full throttle , sharp braking and fast cornering.
•
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes.
•
Sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.For the sake of the environment

– Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forw ards or backwards to allow the sealing
agent to distribute in the tyre.
– Screw the tyre inflation hose of the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre
valve and repeat the inflation procedure.
– If you cannot reach the required tyre inflation pressure here either, this means the tyre has sustained too much damage. You cannot seal with tyre with the break-
down kit .
– Switch off the air compressor with the ON and OFF switch.
– Remove the tyre inflation hose from the tyre valve.
After reaching a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, resume driving at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes page 8, “Check after
driving for 10 minutes”.
WARNING
•
During inflation, the tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot-
risk of injury!
•
Do not place hot tyre inflation hoses or hot air compressors on flammable
materials - risk of fire!
•
If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage
sustained was too serious. The sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre. Do
not drive the vehicle. Get professional assistance.Caution
Switch off the air compressor after running 8 minutes at the latest - danger of over-
heating! Allow the air compressor to cool a few moments before switching it on
again.Check after driving for 10 minutesCheck the tyre inflation pressu re after driving 10 minutes.
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less:–Do not drive the vehicle! You cannot properly seal with tyre with the breakdown
kit.
– Obtain professional assistance.If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more:– Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the correct value (see inside of fuel filler cap).
– Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Tow-starting and towing vehicleGeneral
Caution
