Important safety notes
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you
do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, steering wheel
or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirrors and fasten your seat belt before
starting the engine.
GWARNING
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Visible objects are actually closer
than they appear. This means that you could
misjudge the distance from road users
traveling behind, e.g. when changing lane.
There is a risk of an accident.
For this reason, always make sure of the
actual distance from the road users trav-
eling behind by glancing over your shoul-
der.

Automatic climate control
Below, you can find a number of notes and rec-
ommendations to help you use climate control optimally.
RActivate climate control primarily using
the 0058 button.
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡(22 †).
ROnly use the "Windshield demisting" func-
tion briefly until the windshield is clear
again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly,
e.g. if there are unpleasant outside odors
or when in a tunnel. The windows could oth-
erwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation
mode.
Operating the climate control systems

midification" function, the air inside the
vehicle will not be cooled. The air inside the
vehicle will also not be dehumidified. The
windows can fog up more quickly. Therefore,
deactivate the cooling with air-dehumidifi-
cation function only briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function is only available when the engine is
running. The air inside the vehicle is cooled
and dehumidified according to the tempera-
ture selected.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function does not function when the outside
temperature is low.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This
is normal and not a sign that there is a mal-
function.

Rear window defroster
General notes
The rear window defroster has a high current
draw. You should therefore switch it off as
soon as the rear window is clear.
The rear window defroster can only be
switched on or off while the engine is run-
ning.
The rear window defroster switches off auto-
matically after approximately 10 minutes.
Vehicles with heated exterior mirrors: the
exterior mirrors will also be heated when you

steer and brake. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Do not switch off the ignition while driv-
ing.
GWARNING
If the parking brake has not been fully
released when driving, the parking brake
can:
Roverheat and cause a fire
Rlose its hold function.
There is a risk of fire and an accident.
Release the parking brake fully before
driving off.
!Do not warm up the engine with the vehicle
stationary. Drive off immediately. Avoid
high engine speeds and driving at full
throttle until the engine has reached its
operating temperature.
Only shift the automatic transmission to
the desired drive position when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
Where possible, avoid spinning the drive
wheels when pulling away on slippery
roads. You could otherwise damage the
drive train.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the
vehicle, they could:
Ropen the doors, thus endangering other
people or road users.
Rget out and disrupt traffic.
Roperate the vehicle's equipment.
Additionally, children could set the vehi-
cle in motion if, for example, they:
Rrelease the parking brake.
Rshift the automatic transmission out of
park position P or shift manual trans-
mission into neutral.
Rstart the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children or animals unattended
in the vehicle. Always keep the SmartKey
out of reach of children.
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
Inhaling these exhaust gases leads to poi-
soning. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Therefore never leave the engine running
in enclosed spaces without sufficient ven- tilation.
GWARNING
Flammable materials introduced through
environmental influence or by animals can
ignite if in contact with the exhaust system

or parts of the engine that heat up. There is
a risk of fire.
Carry out regular checks to make sure that
there are no flammable foreign materials
in the engine compartment or in the exhaust
system.
!Do not depress the accelerator when
starting the engine.
iDuring a cold start, the engine runs at
higher speeds to enable the catalytic con-
verter to reach its operating temperature.
The sound of the engine may change during
this time.

depressed.
XDepress the clutch pedal fully.
XShift to neutral.
Automatic transmission

iYou can start the engine in transmission
positions Pand N.
In order to start the engine in transmission
position Nyou must depress the brake pedal
and keep it depressed.
Starting procedure
XTurn the key to position 3in the ignition
lock (Ypage 87) and release it as soon as the
engine is running.
Pulling away
General notes
GWARNING
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
If the engine speed is above the idling
speed and you engage transmission posi-
tion Dor R, the vehicle could pull away
suddenly. There is a risk of an accident.
When engaging transmission position Dor
R, always firmly depress the brake pedal
and do not simultaneously accelerate.
!Vehicles with manual transmission:
change gear in good time and avoid spin-
ning the wheels. You could otherwise dam-
age the vehicle.
!Release the parking brake before driving
off. The parking brake can otherwise over-
heat, malfunction and wear out quickly.
Accelerate gently when pulling away.
The vehicle locks centrally once you have
pulled away.
You can open the doors from the inside at any
time.
You can also deactivate the automatic locking
feature (
Ypage 55).
Vehicles with automatic transmission: you
can only shift the transmission from position
P to the desired transmission position if:
Rthe ignition is switched on
Ryou depress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed and
Ryou press release button on the selector
lever (Ypage 92).
Only then is the shift lock released.
iVehicles with automatic transmission:
transmission shifts take place at higher
engine speeds after a cold start. This helps
the catalytic converter to reach its oper-
ating temperature more quickly.
Hill start assist
Hill start assist helps you when pulling away forwards or in reverse on an uphill gradient.
It holds the vehicle for a short time after you have removed your foot from the brake pedal.
This gives you enough time to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal
and to depress it before the vehicle begins to
roll.
GWARNING
After a short time, hill start assist will no
longer brake your vehicle and it could roll

This prevents the vehicle from
rolling away when stopped.
Only shift the transmission into

Ypage 92) when the
vehicle is stationary. The parking
lock should not be used as a brake
when parking. Always apply the
parking brake in addition to the
parking lock in order to secure the
vehicle.
The key can only be removed if the
transmission is in position P. If
the SmartKey is removed from the
ignition lock, the selector lever is

tionary.
0044Neutral
Do not shift the transmission to N
while driving. Otherwise, the
automatic transmission could be
damaged.
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive wheels.
Releasing the parking brake and
brake pedal will allow you to move
the vehicle freely, e.g. to push it or
tow it away.

The automatic transmission
changes gear automatically. All
forward gears are available.
Driving tips
Changing gear
The automatic transmission shifts to the
individual gears automatically when it is in
transmission position D. This automatic
gearshifting behavior is determined by:
Rthe selected drive program:
Rthe position of the accelerator pedal
Rthe road speed
Accelerator pedal position
Your style of driving influences how the auto-
matic transmission shifts gear:
Rlittle throttle: early upshifts
Rmore throttle: late upshifts
