Driving and operating1459Warning
If the vehicle battery is discharged,
the vehicle must not be towed,
tow-started or jump-started as the
steering wheel lock cannot be
disengaged.
Operation on vehicles with
electronic key system in case of
failure
If either the electronic key fails or the
battery of the electronic key is weak,
a message may be displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
Hold the electronic key with buttons
outside at the marking on the steering column cover as shown in the
illustration.
Operate the clutch pedal (manual
transmission), the brake pedal and
press Start/Stop .
This option is intended for
emergencies only. Replace the
electronic key battery as soon as
possible 3 22.
For unlocking or locking the doors,
see fault in radio remote control unit
or electronic key system 3 24.Starting the engine
Vehicles with ignition switch
Turn key to position 1 to release the
steering wheel lock.
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedal.
Automatic transmission: operate
brake pedal and move selector lever
to P or N.
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Diesel engines: wait until control
indicator ! extinguishes.

150Driving and operatingParking9Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector
lever to position P. On an uphill
slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position
P . Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close the windows.
● Switch off the engine.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch or switch off
ignition on vehicles with power
button. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock is
felt to engage.
● Lock the vehicle.
● Activate the anti-theft alarm system.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 213.
Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.
Notice
In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, the engine is
switched off automatically if the
vehicle comes to a standstill within a
certain time.
In countries with extreme low
temperatures it may be necessary to park the vehicle without applied
parking brake. Make sure to park the
vehicle on a level surface.

152Driving and operatingAdBlue
General information The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system. The ammonia released by
the fluid reacts with nitrous gases
(NO x) from the exhaust and turns it
into nitrogen and water.
The designation of this fluid is
AdBlue ®
. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32% urea and
68% water.9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue preheater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
preheater works automatically.
Notice
Frozen and again liquefied AdBlue is usable without quality loss.
The typical AdBlue consumption is
approx. 0.85 l per 600 miles, but can
also be higher depending on driving
behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).
Level warnings
Depending on the calculated range of AdBlue, different messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The messages and the
restrictions are a legal requirement.
1. The first possible warning is Top
up emissions additive: Starting
prevented in 1500 mi .
When switching on the ignition,
this warning will show up once
briefly with the calculated range.
Additionally, control indicator u
will illuminate and a chime will
sound. Driving is possible without
any restrictions.
2. The next warning level is entered with a range below 500 miles. The
message with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Additionally, control indicator u
will illuminate and a chime will
sound. Refill AdBlue before
entering the next warning level.
When driving, the chime sounds
and the message is displayed
every 60 miles until the additive
tank has been topped-up.
3. The next warning level is entered with a range below 60 miles. The
message with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Page 155 of 279

Driving and operating153Additionally, control indicator u
will flash and a chime will sound. Refill AdBlue as soon as possible
before the AdBlue tank is
completely empty. Otherwise, a
restart of the engine will not be
possible.
When driving, the chime sounds
and the message is displayed
every 6 miles until the additive
tank has been topped-up.
4. The last warning level is entered when the AdBlue tank is empty.
Restart of the engine is not
possible. The following warning
message will be displayed:
Top up emissions additive:
Starting prevented
Additionally, control indicator u
will flash and a chime will sound.
Refill the tank to a level of at least 5 l of AdBlue, otherwise restarting
of the engine is not possible.
Notice
For D16DT engines, different levels
apply.High emission warnings
In the event of a fault with the
emissions control system, different
messages are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. The messages
and the restrictions are a legal
requirement.
1. If a fault is detected for the first time, the warning Emissions fault
is displayed.
Additionally, control indicators u,
R and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound. Driving is
possible without any restrictions.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next
journey, after self-diagnosis of the
emissions control system.
2. If the fault is confirmed by the emission control system, the
following message will be
displayed:
Emissions fault: Starting
prevented in 650 miles .
Additionally, control indicators u,
C and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound.When driving, the message is
displayed every 30 s while the
fault persists.
3. If the last warning level is entered,
the following warning message
will be displayed:
Emissions fault: Starting
prevented
Additionally, control indicators u,
C and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound.
Consult a workshop for
assistance.
Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
