162Driving and operating9Warning
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 pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
Level warnings The AdBlue consumption is approx.4000 mpg and depends on the driving
behaviour.
If the AdBlue level falls below a
certain value, a level warning AdBlue
Range: 1500 mi will be displayed in
the Driver Information Centre (DIC).
A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBlue
must be refilled as soon as possible.
Driving is possible without any
restrictions.
If AdBlue is not refilled within a certain distance, further level warnings are
displayed in the DIC depending on
the current AdBlue level. Later on
requests to refill AdBlue and finally
the announcement to prevent an
engine restart are displayed. These
restrictions are a legal requirement.
At an AdBlue range of 560 miles, the
following warning messages are
alternately displayed in the DIC:
■ AdBlue Low Refill Now
■ Engine Restart Prevented in 560
miles
Additionally, the control indicator Y
flashes continuously and a warning
chime sounds four times every
three minutes.Before the prevention of the engine
restart is activated, the following
warning messages:
■ AdBlue Empty Refill Now
■ Engine Will Not Restart
are alternately displayed in the DIC.
Additionally the control indicator Y
flashes continuously and a warning
chime sounds four times every
three minutes.
After the prevention of the engine
start, the following message:
Refill AdBlue To Start Vehicle
will be displayed.
To restart the engine, the tank must
be filled with AdBlue first.
High emission warnings
If the exhaust emission rises above a
certain value, warnings similar to the
range warnings as described above
will be displayed in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC).

Driving and operating163
Requests to have the exhaust systemchecked and finally the
announcement to prevent an engine
restart are displayed. These
restrictions are a legal requirement.
Seek your 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.
Notice
Only use the designated AdBlue canisters for refilling, to prevent a
topping-up of too much AdBlue.
Additionally, the fumes in the tank
are captured in the canister and do
not emerge.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Notice
A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBlue must be added when refilling.
Otherwise the refilling of AdBlue
may not be detected by the system.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this case, park the vehicle in a space with a
higher ambient temperature until
AdBlue is liquefied.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap
from the filler neck, ammonia fumes may emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located behind the fuel filler flap.
The fuel filler flap is located at right rear side of the vehicle.The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked.
1. Remove key from ignition lock.
2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle.
3. Pull fuel filler flap at the recess and open 3 213.
4. Unscrew protective cap from the
filler neck.
5. Open AdBlue canister.
6. Mount one end of the hose on the
canister and screw the other end
on the filler neck.
7. Lift the canister until it is empty.

164Driving and operating
8. Unscrew the hose from the fillerneck.
9. Mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.
Notice
Dispose of AdBlue canister and
hose according to environmental requirements.
Exchanging AdBlue
If less than 5 litres of AdBlue have
been refilled during the last 2 years,
the remaining fluid should be
exchanged since AdBlue has a
limited durability.Caution
Disregard could lead to damage to
the selective catalytic reduction
system.
Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission permits
automatic gearshifting (automatic
mode) or manual gearshifting
(manual mode).
Manual shifting is possible in manual
mode by tapping the selector lever or pulling the steering wheel paddles
3 166.
Transmission display
The mode or selected gear is shown
in the transmission display.
In automatic mode, the driving
programme is indicated by D in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC).
In manual mode, M and the number
of the selected gear is indicated.
R indicates reverse gear.
N indicates neutral position.
P indicates park position.

Driving and operating167
General
If a higher gear is selected when
vehicle speed is too low, or a lower
gear when vehicle speed is too high,
the shift is not executed. This can
cause a message in the Driver
Information Centre.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions.
Gear shift indication
The symbol R with a number below it
is indicated when gearshifting is
recommended for fuel saving
reasons.
Shift indication appears only in
manual mode.
Electronic driving
programmes ■ Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increases
engine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.■ The automatic neutral shift function
automatically shifts to idling when
the vehicle is stopped with a
forward gear engaged and the
brake pedal is pressed.
■ When SPORT mode is engaged, the vehicle shifts at higher engine
speeds (unless cruise control is
on). SPORT mode 3 174.
■ Special programmes automatically adapt the shifting points when
driving up inclines or down hills.
■ When starting off in snowy or icy conditions or on other slippery
surfaces, the electronic
transmission control selects a
higher gear automatically.
Kickdown
If the accelerator pedal is pressed
down completely in automatic mode,
the transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed.Overheat protection
In the event of transmission-
overheating due to high outside
temperatures or sporty driving style, the torque and the maximum speed of
the engine can be temporarily
reduced.
Fault
In the event of a fault a vehicle
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. Vehicle
messages 3 120.
The transmission no longer shifts
automatically. Continued travel is
possible with manual shifting.
Only the highest gear is available.
Depending on the fault, 2nd gear may also be available in manual mode.
Shift only when vehicle is stationary.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
