cles.■
The beam range is sufficient for safe driving.

The START-STOPsystem (hereinafter referred to as the system) reduces
CO 2emissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel.
If the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops
or is at a standstill (e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it
again when moving off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, while others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
For this reason, the system may react differently in situations which seem
identical from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even when it has previously been manually deactivated with the 
button).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains switched on.130Driving

If the parking brake is turned on while on a steep slope, the following message
may be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Parking brake: gradient too steep. Owner's manual!GRADIENT TOO STEEP
Find a parking space on a flat surface or on a slope that is not so steep.
WARNING■ The emergency brake is to be used only in an emergency when the vehi-
cle cannot be stopped with the brake pedal.■
When stopping and parking, the parking brake should always be on, oth-
erwise the vehicle could move off - there is the risk of an accident!
■
Do not place any objects in the recessed grip for the finger of the parking
brake key. The object could get into the space below the key and prevent
the operation of the parking brake!
Note
■ If the vehicle battery is discharged, it is not possible to release the parking
brake. First connect the vehicle first to a power source, such as the battery of
another vehicle » page 230, Jump-starting and then turn off the parking
brake.■
Noise when switching on and off of the parking brake is normal and there-
