(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 chime will sound 3 95 and
the engine cannot be started.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. Depress brake pedal , may also
be displayed in the Driver Information Centre 3 90.
Notice
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 90.
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.

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.

It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever.
Starting-off
When the engine is started, depress
the brake pedal and move the
selector lever towards + to engage
first gear. Shift to a higher or lower
gear by moving selector lever to + or -.
Gears can be skipped by moving the selector lever repeatedly at short
intervals.
The driver will be alerted to an
incorrect gear selection by an audible warning chime in conjunction with a
message in the Driver Information
Centre 3 90. The system will
downshift, selecting the most
appropriate gear automatically.
If R is selected, reverse gear is
engaged. The vehicle starts to move
when the brake pedal is released. To
start off quickly, release the brake
pedal and accelerate immediately
after engaging a gear.
Move the selector lever towards A/M
to engage automatic mode; the
transmission shifts to other gears
automatically, dependent on driving conditions.
To engage manual mode, move the selector lever towards A/M. The
current gear will appear in the
transmission display.
Stopping the vehicle
In automatic or manual mode,
first gear is engaged and the clutch is
released when the vehicle is stopped. In R, reverse gear remains engaged.
When the vehicle is at a standstill, if
the engine is running and a forward or
reverse gear is engaged, a warning
chime 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.

124Driving and operatingSwitch 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 3 124.
When gearshifting is recommended
to improve fuel economy, control
indicator [ or Ò illuminates in the
Driver Information Centre 3 85.
Electronic driving programmes
Eco mode E
When automatic mode is engaged,
the Eco mode can be selected to
reduce fuel consumption.

Driving and operating125Eco mode selects the most suitable
gear depending on the speed of the
vehicle, the engine speed and the
intensity with which the accelerator is
pressed.
Activation
Press E on the selector lever housing.
Control indicator E is shown in the
transmission display to indicate
activation.
Deactivation
Eco mode is switched off by:
● pressing E again
● switching to manual mode
In order to protect the transmission at
extremely high clutch temperatures,
an intermittent audible warning chime may sound. In such cases, depress
the brake pedal, select N and apply
the parking brake to allow the clutch
to cool down.
Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed
past the pressure point, the
transmission shifts to a lower geardepending on engine speed. Full
engine power is available for
acceleration.
If engine speed is too high the
transmission switches to a higher
gear, even in manual mode. Without
kickdown this automatic shift is not
effected in manual mode.
Fault
In the event of a fault, control indicator s is shown in the transmission
display.
Continued driving is possible,
provided the vehicle is driven with
care and anticipation. A warning
message may appear in the Driver
Information Centre in conjunction with
a warning chime 3 95.
Notice
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 90.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

172Vehicle careTowingTowing the vehicle
Release the cap by carefully lifting
with a screwdriver. To prevent
damage, it is recommended to place
a cloth between the screwdriver and
the frame.
The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 159.
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
Caution
The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering
the vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Switch the selector lever to neutral.
Release the parking brake.
Notice
If neutral cannot be selected on
vehicles with manual transmission
automated (MTA), the vehicle must
only be towed with the drive wheels
raised off the ground.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation 3 107 and close the
windows.
Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the cap.
Towing another vehicle
Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the
side of the cap. Release the cap by
carefully levering the screwdriver. To
prevent damage it is recommended to place a cloth between the screwdriver
and the frame.
