Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 110.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.

Driving and operating109Starting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake.
Manual transmission automated: operate brake, the transmission
automatically shifts to N (neutral)
Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Diesel engine: turn the key to position1 for preheating until control
indicator ! extinguishes.
Turn the key briefly to position 2 and release.
Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn the key back to position
0.
Autostop
During an Autostop, the engine is
restarted automatically by depressing
the clutch pedal.
Vehicles with manual transmission
automated (MTA): Shift to a forward
gear, release brake pedal or move
lever to +, – or R to enable an
automatic restart.
Stop-start system 3 110.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged battery.
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.Vehicle shutdown
Fuel cut-off system In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.
Control indicator 9 illuminates if the
fuel cut-off switch is triggered and, depending on version, a
corresponding warning message may
also appear in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 85.
Generic warning control indicator 9
3 76.
Notice
In addition, the vehicle is
automatically unlocked and the
hazard warning flashers and interior lights are illuminated.
Turn the ignition key to position 0 to
prevent battery discharge and seek
the assistance of a workshop
immediately. Have the vehicle
checked for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment, beneath the vehicle
and near the fuel tank.

110Driving and operatingTo reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven:
1. Turn the ignition key to position 1 3 108.
2. Fully actuate the right turn signal light 3 96.
3. Deactivate the right turn signal light.

or a fuel leak is present, have thecause of this remedied
immediately by a workshop. Do
not reset the fuel cut-off system, to avoid the risk of fire.
Fuel system messages 3 91.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut-
off during overrun, i.e. when the
vehicle is driven with a gear engaged
but accelerator is released.
Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce exhaust emissions. When conditions allow, it switches off
the engine as soon as the vehicle is
at a low speed or at a standstill, e.g.
at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. It
starts the engine automatically as
soon as the clutch is depressed.
A battery sensor ensures that an
Autostop is only performed if the
battery is sufficiently charged for a
restart.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing ^ in the centre
console. LED in the button illuminates
to confirm deactivation.
Depending on version, a
corresponding message may also
appear in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 85.

The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 85.
When the brake pedal is depressed,
the transmission automatically shifts
to N (neutral) and the engine can be
started. There may be a slight delay.
Autostop
During an Autostop, if the gearshift
lever is in position N, select another
gear, otherwise release the brake
pedal or move the lever to +, – or R to
enable an automatic restart of the
engine.
