Driving and operating121Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging the
battery.

Battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.
Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features such as auxiliary electric
heater or rear window heating are
disabled or switched into a power
saving mode. The fan speed of the
climate control system is reduced to
save power.
Restart of the engine by the
driver Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
The engine start is indicated by the
needle at the idle speed position in
the tachometer.If the selector lever is shifted out of
neutral before depressing the clutch
first, control indicator - illuminates
or is shown as a message in the Driver Information Centre.
Control indicator - 3 84.
Restart of the engine by the
stop-start system
The selector lever has to be in neutral to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system:
■ The stop-start system is manually deactivated
■ the bonnet is opened
■ the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is opened
■ the engine temperature is too low
■ the battery is discharged
■ the brake vacuum is not sufficient
■ the vehicle starts to move■ the climate control system requests
an engine start
■ the air conditioning is manually switched on
If the bonnet is not fully closed, a
warning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop during engine restart might be
noticeable.
Parking ■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily
ignitable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system
could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply parking brake without
pressing release button. Apply as
firmly as possible on downhill or
uphill slopes. Depress the foot
brake at the same time to reduce
operating force.
■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock engages.

Driving and operating131
The deactivation of the AWD system
will be indicated by a message on the
Driver Information Centre.
If a service message or warning
code S73 is displayed on the Driver Information Centre, there is a
malfunction in the AWD system. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 93, Towing the
vehicle 3 186.Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 84.
Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.ABS starts to regulate brake pressure
as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through 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 85.
Adaptive brake light
During full braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS
control.

Driving and operating133Ride control systems
Traction Control system
The Traction Control system (TC) is a component of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) 3 133.
TC 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.
TC is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
b extinguishes.
When TC operates b flashes.9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
Control indicator b 3 86.
Deactivation
TC can be switched off when spinning of drive wheels is required:
press button t briefly to deactivate
TC, k illuminates. Deactivation is
displayed as status message in the
Driver Information Centre.
TC is reactivated by pressing the t
button again.
TC is also reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
Electronic Stability Control Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip. It also
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery road
surfaces.
ESC is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator b extinguishes.
When ESC operates b flashes.

Speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum speed.
The maximum speed can be set at a
speed above 15 mph.
The driver can only accelerate up to
the preset speed. Deviations from the
limited speed may occur when driving
downhill.
The preset speed limit is displayed in
the top line of the Driver Information
Centre when the system is active.

174Vehicle care
When the system detects a
malfunction, w will flash for approx.
one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When w is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring Operation The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tyre pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted onto each tyre and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tyre
and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in
the tyres and transmit the tyre
pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition is
detected, w illuminates. Stop as soon
as possible and inflate the tyres to the
recommended tyre pressure 3 172.
Additionally a warning message or a
warning code is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre 3 93.
The low tyre pressure control
indicator and a warning message or
code come on at each ignition cycle
until the tyres are inflated to the
correct tyre pressure.
TPMS Malfunction Indicator and
Message Code
The TPMS will not function properly if
one or more of the TPMS sensors are missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, w
flashes for approx. one minute and then illuminates. Additionally a
warning message or code is
displayed.
The indication by the TPMS
malfunction indicator and a warning
message or code will come on at each ignition cycle until the problem iscorrected. Some of the conditions
that can cause these to come on are:
■ One of the tyres has been replaced
with the spare tyre which does not
have a TPMS sensor.
■ The TPMS sensor matching process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tyres. The malfunction
light and the warning message or
code should go off after
successfully completing the sensor

Vehicle care175
matching process. See "TPMS
Sensor Matching Process" later in
this section.
■ One or more TPMS sensors are missing or damaged. The warning
message or code and the
malfunction light should go off
when the TPMS sensors are
installed and the sensor matching
process is performed successfully.
Consult your workshop for service.
■ Replacement tyres or wheels do not match the original equipment
tyres or wheels. Tyres and wheels other than those recommended
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly.
■ Operating electronic devices or being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal
a low tyre condition. Consult your
workshop for service if the TPMS
malfunction light and a warningmessage or code come on and stay
on.
TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre/
wheel position after rotating the tyres
or replacing one or more of the TPMS
sensors. The TPMS sensor matching process should also be performed
after replacing a spare tyre with a
road tyre containing the TPMS
sensor.
The malfunction light and the warning
message or code should go off at the
next ignition cycle. The sensors are
matched to the tyre/wheel positions,
using a TPMS relearn tool, in the
following order: driver side front tyre,
passenger side front tyre, passenger
side rear tyre, and driver side rear.
Consult your workshop for service or
to purchase a relearn tool. There are
two minutes to match the first tyre/
wheel position, and five minutes
overall to match all four tyre/wheelpositions. If it takes longer, the
matching process stops and must be
restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Use the MENU button on the turn
signal lever to select the Vehicle
Information Menu in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC).
4. Use the thumbwheel to scroll to the tyre pressure menu.
5. Press the SET/CLR button to
begin the sensor matching
process. A message requesting
acceptance of the process should display.
6. Press the SET/CLR button again
to confirm the selection. The horn
sounds twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode.
7. Start with the driver side front tyre.
8. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.Then press the button to activate
the TPMS sensor. A horn chirp

176Vehicle care
confirms that the sensoridentification code has been
matched to this tyre and wheel
position.
9. Proceed to the passenger side front tyre, and repeat the
procedure in Step 8.
10. Proceed to the passenger side rear tyre, and repeat the
procedure in Step 8.
11. Proceed to the driver side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure inStep 8. The horn sounds twice to
indicate the sensor identification
code has been matched to the
driver side rear tyre, and the
TPMS sensor matching process
is no longer active.
12. Turn off the ignition.
13. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure level
as indicated on the tyre pressure
label.
Tread depth Check tread depth at regular
intervals.Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than
2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels. Ensure that the direction
of rotation of the wheels is the same
as before.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval.

180Vehicle care
14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Pushcatch on bracket to remove
sealant bottle from bracket. Screw the tyre inflation hose to the free
connection of the sealant bottle.
This prevents sealant from
escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in
load compartment.
15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
16. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from
the sealant bottle and affix in the
driver's field of view.
17. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.
6 miles (but no more than
10 minutes), stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve and
compressor when doing this.
If tyre pressure is more than
1.3 bar , set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
18. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.
Notice
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre are severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least
30 minutes.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of 102 psi.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
bottle.
Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.
The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 °C.
The adapters supplied can be used
to pump up other items e.g.
footballs, air mattresses, inflatable
dinghies etc. They are located on the
underside of the compressor. To
remove, screw on compressor air
hose and withdraw adapter.
Wheel changing
Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 177.
