This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
102
Manually deactivating/activating the system
103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
(e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it again when mov-
ing off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, the others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
Therefore the system may react differently in situations which seem identi-
cal from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even where this has previously been manually deactivated with the button ).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains on.

START-STOP NOT POSSIBLE
The engine does not shut down when the vehicle stops, if e.g. the following
applies.
▶ The engine temperature for the proper function of the system has not yet
been reached.
▶ The charge state of the vehicle battery is too low.
▶ The current consumption is too high.
▶ High air conditioning or heating output (high fan speed, big difference be-
tween the desired and actual interior temperature).
If the engine has shut down automatically but the system detects that the en- gine is required to run (e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly) then the
system automatically starts up the engine.
If there is a system fault , the following message will appear in the display of
the instrument cluster. Seek help from a specialist garage.
Note■ If the driver's seat belt is removed for more than 30 seconds or the driver's
door is opened after the engine has switched off automatically, the engine will
have to be restarted manually.■
No automatic engine shut-down takes place when a vehicle with automatic
transmission is moving at low speed (e.g. during a traffic jam) and remains sta-
tionary after pressing the brake pedal lightly. Automatic engine shutdown
takes place if you press the brake pedal down with more force.
■
For vehicles with automatic transmission there is no automatic engine shut-
down when the system detects a manoeuvring action due to a large steering
angle.

risk of an accident!
WARNING (Continued)■ If the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S , R or Tiptronic mode,
the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away by means of the brake
pedal or the parking brake. Even when the engine is idling, the power
transmission is never completely interrupted – the vehicle creeps.■
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever must always be set to P. Oth-
erwise, the vehicle could be set in motion - risk of accident!
CAUTION
If you want to move the selector lever from position N to position D / S whilst
driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.

» Fig. 128 .
To move the selector lever from mode N to D only the brake pedal must be
pressed.
The selector lever is not locked when quickly moving across the position N
(e.g. from R to D). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck,
e.g. in a bank of snow. The selector lever lock will engage if the lever is in posi-
tion N for more than approx. 2 seconds without the brake pedal being de-
pressed.
If it is not possible to release the gear selector from mode P in the usual man-
ner, then this can be emergency unlocked » page 166.

The gearshift indicator should be observed when changing gear » page 39.
When accelerating, the gearbox automatically shifts up into the higher gear
just before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached. If a lower gear
is selected, the gearbox does not shift down until there is no risk of the engine
overrevving.
Note
It may be beneficial, for example, when travelling downhill, to use manual
shifting of gears. Shifting to a lower gear reduces the load on the brakes and
hence the wear of the brakes.107Starting-off and Driving

Running in the engine
During the first 1 500 km, the driving style is decisive for successful the run-
ning in process is.
During the first 1 000 km , the engine should not be charged with more than
3/4 of the maximum permitted engine revs and without the trailer.
From about 1 000 to 1 500 km , the engine can be pushed up to the maximum
permitted engine speed.
Tips on economical driving
Fuel consumption depends on the driving style, road and weather conditions,
and similar such factors.
For an economical driving style, the following instructions must be observed. ▶ Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
▶ Engage the recommended gear » page 39.
▶ Avoid full throttle and high speeds.
▶ Reduce idling.
▶ Avoid short distances.
▶ Ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure is maintained » page 151.
▶ Avoid unnecessary ballast.
▶ Remove the roof rack before driving if it is not needed.
▶ Only turn on electrical consumers (e.g. seat heating) for as long as necessary.
▶ Briefly ventilate before turning on the cooling system, do not use the cooling
system with the windows open.
▶ Do not leave windows open at high speeds.

Assist systems
General information
WARNING■The assistance systems only serve to support and do not relieve the driv-
er of the responsibility for driving the vehicle.■
The increased safety provision, as well as the increased occupant protec-
tion provided by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take risks -
risk of accident!
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
■
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
■
Only activate, deactivate or set the assistance systems so that you have
the car fully under control in every traffic situation - risk of accident!

The brake and stabilization systems are automatically activated each time the
ignition is switched on, unless otherwise indicated.
The error display is in Chapter » page 31, Warning lights .
WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 110, in section General information .
Stability Control (ESC)
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
The ESC improves vehicle stability when driving at the limit (e.g. if the vehiclestarts to skid) by braking individual wheels to maintain the desired direction.
If there is a TCS intervention, the warning light  flashes in the instrument
cluster.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.
Engine drag torque control (MSR)
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
MSR counteracts the tendency of the drive wheels to lock during downshifts
or sudden deceleration (e.g. on icy or an otherwise slippery road surface).
If the drive wheels should lock, then the engine speed is automatically in-
creased. This reduces the braking effect of the engine and the wheels can ro-
tate freely again.
110Driving

Traction control (TCS)Fig. 131
System button: Vehicle with ESC / vehicle without ESC
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
TCS prevents the spinning of the wheels of the driven axle. TCS reduces the drive power transmitted to the wheels in the case of slipping wheels. Thus, for
example, driving on road surfaces with low grip is made easier.
During a TCS intervention, the indicator light  flashes in the instrument clus-
ter.
The deactivation/activation of TCS can be carried out, depending on equip-
ment, in one of the following ways. ▶ By pressing the 
» Fig. 131 button.
▶ By pressing the 
» Fig. 131 button.
With deactivation , the warning light
lights
up in the instrument cluster and
an appropriate message is displayed in the instrument cluster.
With activation , the warning light
 is extinguished and an appropriate mes-
sage is displayed in the instrument cluster.
The TCS should normally always be enabled. The system should be deactivated
only in the following situations, for example. ▶ When driving with snow chains.
▶ When driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface.
▶ When it is necessary to “rock” a car free when it has become stuck.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes a spinning wheel if required and transfers the drive power force to the
other drive wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different trac-
tion under each wheel of the driven axle.
EDL switches off automatically to avoid excessive heat generation on the
brake of the wheel being braked. Once the brakes have cooled down, there is
an automatic re-activation of EDL.
Driver Steering Recommendation (DSR)
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
In critical situations, the DSR provides the driver with a steering recommenda-tion in order to stabilise the vehicle. DSR is activated, for example, on the right
and left vehicle side when braking sharply on different road surfaces.
Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
The HBA increases the braking effect and helps to reduce the braking dis-
tance.
The HBA is activated by very quick operation of the brake pedal. In order to
achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be ap-
plied firmly until the vehicle has come to a standstill.
The HBA function is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
Hill Start Assist (HHC)
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
When moving off on a gradient, HHC allows you to move your foot from thebrake pedal to the accelerator pedal without the vehicle rolling downhill.
The vehicle is braked by the system for about 2 seconds after releasing the
brake pedal. 
111Assist systems

The system is only available, if the front wheels are in the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
The system operates at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
Start-Off Assistant 1)
Read and observe
and on page 112 first.
The Start-Off assistant assists the driver when setting off, such as on a steep
slope or on a slippery surface. When the driver presses the accelerator, the
maximum engine speed is electronically limited so that a gentle approach is
possible.
