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.

Driving and operating115Caution
It is not advisable to drive with thehand resting on the selector lever.
When gearshifting is recommended
to improve fuel economy, control
indicator [ or Ò illuminates in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 80.
Manual transmission
automated
The manual transmission automated (MTA) permits manual (manual
mode) or automatic gear shifting
(automatic mode), both with
automatic clutch control.
Transmission display
Shows the mode and current gear.
Starting the engine
Depress the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
If the brake pedal is not depressed, a
warning message appears in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC)
together with a warning chime 3 90
and the engine cannot be started.
Notice
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.
Stop-start system 3 110.

Driving and operating117chime will sound and the
transmission automatically shifts to
N in certain situations.
When stopping on gradients, engage
parking brake or depress the brake pedal. To prevent overheating of theclutch, an intermittent audible
warning chime may sound as a signal
to depress the brake pedal or apply
the parking brake.
Switch off engine if stopping for a
lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams.
Engine braking
Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not
shift into higher gears until a fairly
high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud, snow or a hole. Move the
selector lever between R and A/M (or
between + and -) in a repeat pattern,
while applying light pressure to the
accelerator pedal. Do not race the
engine and avoid sudden
acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most
recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged.Caution
Do not leave the vehicle with the
transmission in position N.
When the ignition is switched on, a
warning chime will sound when the
vehicle is parked if the transmission is
still in N.
When the ignition is switched off, the transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
Manual mode
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions. If engine
speed is too high, the transmission
only switches to a higher gear via
kickdown 3 118.
When gearshifting is recommended
to improve fuel economy, control
indicator [ or Ò illuminates in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 80.

120Driving and operating9Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever.
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal at the same time.
A warning chime will sound if a certain
speed is exceeded with the parking
brake applied.
Notice
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 85.
Control indicator R 3 79.
Brake assist
If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking
is required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when the
brake pedal is released.
Hill start assist
The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, the brakes
remain on for a further two seconds.
The brakes release automatically as
soon as the vehicle begins to
accelerate.
If control indicator Z illuminates
while driving, there is a fault in the Hill
start assist 3 80 . Seek the assistance
of a workshop to have the fault remedied.The Hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 110.

130Driving and operatingTrailer hitch
General information
Only use towing equipment that has
been approved for your vehicle.
Vehicles with natural gas engine may
require special towing equipment.
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment.
Fitting of towing equipment could
cover the opening of the towing eye.
If this is the case use the coupling ball bar for towing. Always keep the
coupling ball bar in the vehicle.
Driving characteristics and towing tips
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the
coupling ball, is being used to reduce
snaking movements.For trailers with low driving stability
and caravan trailers with a permitted
gross vehicle weight of more than
1300 kg the use of a stabiliser is
strongly recommended when driving
above 50 mph.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 179.
Trailer towing
Trailer loads The permissible trailer loads are
vehicle and engine-dependent
maximum values which must not be
exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual
gross weight of the trailer and the
actual coupling socket load with the
trailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients
up to max. 12%.
The permitted trailer load applies up
to the specified incline and up to an
altitude of 1000 metres above sea
level. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the air
becoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10% for every 1000 metres of additional
altitude. The gross train weight does
not have to be reduced when driving
on roads with slight inclines (less than
8%, e.g. motorways).
The permissible gross train weight
must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate
3 170.
Vertical coupling load
The vertical coupling load is the load
exerted by the trailer on the coupling
ball. It can be varied by changing the
weight distribution when loading the
trailer.
