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.

Driving and operating111AutostopIf the vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
● depress the clutch pedal
● set the lever to neutral
● release the clutch pedal
The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated when control
indicator ^ flashes in the DIC 3 85.
During an Autostop, the heating,
power steering and brake
performance will be maintained.
Caution
The steering assist may be
reduced during an Autostop.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
● the stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the driver's door is closed and the
driver's seat belt is fastened
● the battery is sufficiently charged
and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high
● the engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load
● the ambient temperature is not too low
● the climate control system allows
an Autostop
● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
● the brake vacuum is sufficient ● the windscreen wipers are not operating at fast speed
● reverse gear is not selected
● heated rear window is not operating
Ambient temperature near to the
freezing point can inhibit an
Autostop.
For manual transmission automated vehicles, an Autostop may be
inhibited until a speed of approx.
6 mph is reached.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 108.
Battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.

112Driving and operatingRestarting the engine
Manual transmission
The selector lever must be in neutral
to enable an automatic restart.
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Manual transmission automated
If the 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.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart may be noticeable.
Restarting the engine with the key When one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will need to be restarted
manually using the key.
● the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door
is opened
● three minutes have elapsed since the engine was switched offIn this event, control indicator ^
flashes in the DIC in conjunction with
a warning chime. Depending on
version, a corresponding message
may also appear in the DIC 3 85.
Fault
If control indicator Æ illuminates in the
instrument cluster, there is a fault in
the stop-start system 3 84.
Depending on version, 9 will
illuminate as an alternative if control
indicator Æ is not present. A warning
message may also be displayed in
the DIC 3 85.
Generic warning 9 3 76.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply parking brake without pressing release
button. Apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill slope or
uphill slope. Depress brake
pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine. Turn the ignition key to position 0 and
remove it. Turn the steering
wheel until the steering wheel
lock is felt to engage.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear before switching off
the ignition. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear
before switching off the ignition. Turn the front wheels towardsthe kerb.
Lock the vehicle 3 21 and activate the
anti-theft locking system 3 26 .
