Instruments and controls85Flashes during drivingThe system is actively engaged.
Engine output may be reduced and the vehicle may be braked
automatically to a small degree.
Illuminates during driving
A fault in the system is present.
Continued driving is possible. Driving
stability, however, may deteriorate
depending on road surface
conditions.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. ESP unavailable , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information Centre 3 89.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Slip Regulator (ASR) 3 127.
Engine coolant temperature
$ illuminates red.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on.If control indicator $ illuminates, the
coolant temperature is too high. Depending on version, a warning
message may also be displayed in
the Driver Information Centre 3 89.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.Caution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
the ignition. Danger to engine.
Check coolant level.
If the control indicator remains on, seek the assistance of your
workshop.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
3 77.
Preheating
! illuminates yellow.
Preheating of diesel engine is
activated. Only activates when
outside temperature is low.
Notice
In very hot outside
temperatures, ! may illuminate
briefly when the ignition is switched
on.
The engine can be started when !
extinguishes.
Starting the engine 3 114.
Flashes
A fault is detected in the engine
preheating system. Depending on
version, a corresponding warning
message, e.g. Check glow plugs ,
may also be displayed in the Driver
Information Centre 3 89.
If ! does not extinguish, consult a
workshop.
Diesel particle filter % illuminates yellow.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on.
If it does not extinguish after a brief
delay or illuminates whilst driving, the
diesel particle filter requires cleaning.

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 may be a controlled
reduction in power steering assist and
vehicle speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 115.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver's side.
Driving downhill
Engage a gear when driving downhill
to ensure that sufficient brake
pressure is available.

Driving and operating127be displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 89. Seek the assistance of
a workshop to have the fault
remedied.
The Hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 115.Ride control systems
Traction Control system The Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR) is a
component of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC).
ASR improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
ASR is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
R extinguishes.
When ASR operates, R flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.

130Driving and operatingTurn end of lever to the ON position;
control indicator m 3 89 illuminates in
the instrument cluster. Depending on
version, a corresponding message,
e.g. Cruise Control on , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information Centre 3 89.
Activation
Accelerate to the desired speed and
push lever upwards ( +); the current
speed is stored and maintained.
Accelerator pedal can be released.
Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed
is resumed.
Cruise control remains activated
while gearshifting.
Increase speed
With cruise control active, push lever
upwards ( +) or briefly push lever
upwards ( +) repeatedly: speed
increases continuously or in small
increments.Alternatively accelerate to the desired speed and store by pushing lever
upwards ( +).
Reduce speed With cruise control active, push lever
downwards ( -) or briefly push lever
downwards ( -) repeatedly; speed
decreases continuously or in small
increments.
Deactivation
Automatic deactivation: ● vehicle speed below approx. 20 mph
● the brake pedal is depressed
● the clutch pedal is depressed
● the traction control system/Anti- Slip Regulator (ASR) or
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
is operating
● the antilock brake system (ABS) is operating
Resume stored speed
Press = at a speed above 20 mph.
The stored speed will be obtained.Switching off
Turn end of lever to the OFF position;
control indicator m extinguishes. The
stored speed is deleted. Switching off
the ignition also deletes the stored
speed.
Parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the parking assist system.
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles,
and giving acoustic signals.
