maintained.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled:
■ The stop-start system is not manually deactivated .
■ The bonnet is fully closed.
■ The driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened.
■ The battery is sufficiently chargedand in good condition.
■ The engine is warmed up.
■ The engine coolant temperature is not too high.
■ The engine exhaust temperature is
not too high, e.g. after driving with
high engine load.
■ The ambient temperature is not too
low.
■ The climate control system allows an Autostop.
■ The brake vacuum is sufficient.
■ The self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active.
■ The vehicle has moved since the last Autostop.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Ambient temperature near to the
freezing point can inhibit an Autostop.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
'Climate control' chapter for more
details.

Notice
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment, the engine is
turned off automatically if the vehicle
comes to a standstill within a certain
time.
Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification. The filter is cleaned
by periodically burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may

144Driving and operatingadvanced parking assist sensors,
e.g. below the bumper or
underneath the vehicle, are not
displayed.
Do not reverse the vehicle by only looking at the Info-Display and
check the surrounding area
behind and around the vehicle
before reversing.
Activation
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted in the tailgate handle and has a viewing angle of
130°.
Due to the high position of the camera
the rear bumper can be seen on the
display as a guide to position.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guiding lines
Dynamic guiding lines are horizontal
lines in 1 metre intervals projected on
the picture to define the distance to
shown objects.
Trajectory lane of the vehicle is
shown in accordance with the
steering angle.
The function can be deactivated in the
menu Settings in the Info-Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 100.
Warning symbols
Warning symbols are indicated as
triangles 9 on the picture which show
obstacles detected by the rear
sensors of the advanced parking
assist.

148Driving and operating
FaultThe traffic sign assistant system may
not operate correctly when:
■ The area of the windscreen, where the front camera is located, is not
clean.
■ Traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to
discern.
■ There are adverse environmental conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows. In this
case No Traffic Sign Detection due
to Weather is indicated on the
display.
■ Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged.
■ Traffic signs do not comply with the
Vienna Convention on traffic signs
(Wiener Übereinkommen über
Straßenverkehrszeichen).Caution
The system is intended to help the driver within a defined speed
range to recognise certain traffic
signs. Do not ignore traffic signs
which are not displayed by the
system.
The system does not recognise
any other than the conventional
traffic signs that might give or end
a speed limit.
Do not let this special feature
tempt you into taking risks when
driving.
Always adapt speed to the road
conditions.
The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full
responsibility for vehicle
operation.
Lane departure warning
The lane departure warning system
observes the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving via a front camera. The system detects lane
changes and warns the driver in the
event of an unintended lane change
via visual and acoustic signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
■ no operation of turn signals
■ no brake pedal operation
■ no active accelerator operation or speeding-up
■ no active steering
If the driver is active, no warning will
be issued.
Activation
The lane departure warning system is activated by pressing ). The
illuminated LED in the button

General information
Only use towing equipment that has
been approved for your vehicle.
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment.
Fitting of towing equipment could
cover the opening of the towing eye.
If this is the case, use the coupling ball
bar for towing. Always keep the
coupling ball bar in the vehicle.
Driving characteristics and
towing tips Before attaching a trailer, lubricate
the coupling ball. However, do not do
so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce
snaking movements.
For trailers with low driving stability
and caravan trailers with a permitted
gross vehicle weight of more than1000 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 3 215.
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 air becoming 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
3 205.
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 (75 kg) is specified on
the towing equipment identification
plate and in the vehicle documents.
Always aim for the maximum load,

temperatures the factory filled coolant
provides frost protection down to
approx. -40 °C.Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
Coolant level
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be above the
filling line mark. Top up if the level is
low.9 Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up use a 1:1 mixture of
released coolant concentrate mixed
with clean tap water. If no coolant
concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Power steering fluid
Caution
Extremely small amounts of
contamination can cause steering
system damage and cause it to not
work properly. Do not allow
contaminates to contact the fluid
side of the reservoir cap/dipstick or
from entering the reservoir.
Power steering fluid level normally
does not need to be checked. If an
unusual noise sounds during steering or the power steering reacts
conspicuously, seek the assistance of
a workshop.
