“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.

Tow-starting and towing vehicle
8
– 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
Do not push or two the vehicle to start the engine - likely engine damage! In vehicles
with catalytic converters, fuel may get into the catalytic converter where it may ignite.
This results in the catalytic converter overheating and being destroyed. To help start
the engine, you can use a battery from another vehicle, see Owner's manual.Electric fusesFuse assignment in engine compartment - version 1
