Driving and operating137Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled,
otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited and control indicator \ will
illuminate in the instrument cluster.
● the stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high
● the ambient temperature is not too low
● the defrosting function is not activated
● the climate control system does not inhibit an Autostop
● the rear air conditioning system is
not activated
● the brake vacuum is sufficient● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
3 141
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
An Autostop may become
unavailable as the ambient
temperature approaches freezing
point.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may also inhibit an Autostop.
See "Climate control" chapter for
further information 3 115.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 133.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.Restart of the engine by the driverManual transmission
With the selector lever in neutral,
depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Notice
If any gear is selected, the clutch
pedal must be fully depressed to
restart the engine.
If the engine does not restart first
time, depress clutch pedal fully again.Manual transmission automated
With the selector lever in position N
(or A/M ) and the parking brake
released, release the brake pedal to
restart the engine.
Engaging reverse gear or depressing the accelerator pedal may also restart the engine.
The green control indicator Ï will
extinguish in the instrument cluster
when the engine is restarted. If
certain conditions are not fulfilled, a
restart will not take place; start using
the ignition key.
Starting the engine 3 134.

138Driving and operatingBus
The engine is restarted automatically
when operating the power sliding
door switch on the instrument panel
during an Autostop.
Sliding door 3 27.
Restart of the engine by the stop-
start system
If one of the following conditionsoccurs during an Autostop, the
engine may be restarted
automatically by the stop-start
system. Control indicator Ï will flash
green in the instrument cluster during
an automatic engine restart.
● the vehicle battery is discharged
● the ambient temperature is too low
● the defrosting function is activated
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the brake pedal is operated repeatedly
● the vehicle starts to moveAn automatic engine restart may not
be possible if a door or the bonnet is
open.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop during restart might be noticeable.
If the Infotainment system is active,
audio sound may briefly be reduced
or interrupted during the restart.
Fault
If control indicator Ï illuminates
yellow, or the LED illuminates in
deactivation button Î without first
being pressed to deactivate the
system, there is a fault in the stop-
start system 3 99. A corresponding
message also appears in the Driver
Information Centre 3 101.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Warning chimes 3 102.Parking9 Warning
● 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 a downhill slope or
uphill slope. Depress brake
pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear.
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.

Driving and operating153Interruption of power supplyThe clutch is not disengaged if there
is an interruption of the power supply
when a gear is engaged. The vehicle
cannot move.
If the vehicle battery is discharged,
start the vehicle using jump leads
3 212.
If the cause of the fault is not a
discharged vehicle battery, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If neutral cannot be selected, the
vehicle must only be towed with the
drive wheels raised off the ground
3 214.
Towing the vehicle 3 214.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 you depress the
brake pedal firmly. You need to use
considerably more force 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 97.
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.
Control indicator u 3 97.
Fault
If control indicators u and A
illuminate with the messages CHECK
ABS and CHECK ESP in the Driver
Information Centre, there is a fault in
the ABS. The brake system remains
operational but without ABS
regulation.
