90Instruments and controlsVehicle messagesMessages are given via the
instrument panel display or as
warning and signal buzzers. Check
control messages appear on the
Info-Display. Some appear in an
abbreviated form. Confirm warning
messages with the multifunction
control 3 86.
Warning chimes When starting the engine or
whilst driving ■ If seat belt is not fastened.
■ If a door or the tailgate is not fully closed when starting-off.
■ If a certain speed is exceeded with the parking brake applied.
■ If the speed programmed at the factory is exceeded.
■ If the vehicle has manual transmission automated and the
driver's door is opened when theengine is running, a gear is
engaged and the foot brake is not
depressed.
■ Warning signal sounds three times if the rear carrier system is
extended and reverse gear is
selected.
When the vehicle is parked and
the driver's door is opened ■ When the key is in the ignition switch.
■ With exterior lights on.
■ For manual transmission automated, if the parking brake is
not applied and no gear is engaged when the engine is switched off.
During an Autostop ■ If the driver's door is opened.
Battery voltage Low battery voltage in the radio
remote control. On vehicles without
check control, the message InSP3
appears in the instrument panel
display. Replace the battery 3 20.Brake light switch
Brake light does not come on during
braking. Have the cause of the fault
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Drain diesel fuel filter
If there is water in the diesel fuel filter, the message InSP4 appears in the
instrument panel. In some models
InSP4 illuminates together with A in
the instrument. Consult a workshop.
Lighting
Important exterior lighting lamps,
including cables and fuses, are
monitored. In trailer mode, trailer
lighting is also monitored. Trailers
with LED lighting must have an
adapter that enables lamp monitoring as with conventional bulbs.

124Driving and operatingCaution
It is not advisable to drive with thehand resting on the selector lever.
Manual transmission
automated
This transmission permits manual
(manual mode) or automatic gear
shifting (automatic mode), both with
automatic clutch control.
Transmission display
Shows the mode and current gear.
The display flashes for a few seconds
when A, M or R is selected with the
engine running and the foot brake not
activated.
Starting the engine
Depress the foot brake when starting
the engine. If the foot brake is not
depressed, j illuminates in the
instrument cluster, "N" flashes in the
transmission display and the engine
cannot be started.
Starting is not possible if all brake
lights fail.
When the foot brake is depressed, the
transmission automatically shifts to
N upon starting. There may be a slight
delay.
Selector lever

Driving and operating129
ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent though
a pulse in the brake pedal and the
noise of the regulation process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting off the system performs a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 82.
Adaptive brake light
During full braking, all three brake
lamps flash for the duration of ABS
control.Fault9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake
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 foot brake
at the same time.
Control indicator R 3 81.

Driving and operating141
1000 kg a speed of 50 mph must not
be exceeded; the use of a stabiliser is recommended.
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 3 217.
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 loads apply 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 airbecoming 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
3 197.
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.
The maximum permissible vertical
coupling load (vehicles with 1.2
engine: 45 kg, other engines: 55 kg)
is specified on the towing equipment
identification plate and in the vehicledocuments. Always aim for the
maximum load, especially in the case
of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg.
Rear axle load When the trailer is coupled and the
towing vehicle fully loaded, the
permissible rear axle load (see
identification plate or vehicle
documents) for passenger vehicles
may be exceeded by 45 kg and the
gross vehicle weight rating by 50 kg
(on vehicles with 1.2 engine and
specific rear axle application: 30 kg).
For vans the permitted rear axle load
may be exceeded by 25 kg. The
permitted total load may be exceeded
by the following amounts with the
engines specified below:A10XEP=30 kgA12XEL, A12XER=25 kgA13DTR=40 kgA13DTE, A13DTC=35 kg
Trailer operation is not permitted for
vans with tyre size 215/45 R 17.
