54* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Locking
Cars with the Keyless system have a pressure-
sensitive area on the outer handle of the doors and
a rubberised button next to the tailgate's rubber-
ised pressure plate.
Lock the doors and the tailgate with one long
press on any of the door handles' pressure-
sensitive areas or press the smaller of the tail-
gate's two rubberised buttons - the lock indi-
cator in the windscreen confirms that locking
has been completed by starting to flash, see
page 45.
All doors and the tailgate must be closed
before the car can be locked - otherwise the
car is not locked.
NOTE
On cars with automatic transmission, the
gear selector must be set in the P position
– otherwise the car cannot be locked or the
alarm armed.
UnlockingUnlocking takes place when a hand grasps a
door handle or the tailgate's rubberised pres-
sure plate is actuated - open the door or tail-
gate as normal.
NOTE
The door handles normally register a hand
that takes hold of the handle, but with thick
gloves on or after a very quick hand move-
ment a second attempt may be required, or
with the glove taken off.
Unlocking with the key blade
Hole for key blade - to loosen the cover.
If central locking cannot be activated with the
PCC, e.g. if the batteries are discharged, then
the left-hand front door can be opened with the
PCC's detachable key blade (see page 48)
To access the lock cylinder, the door handle's
plastic cover must be removed - this is also
done with the key blade:
1. Press the key blade approx. 1 cm straight
up into the hole on the underside of the
door handle/cover - do not prize.
> The plastic cover loosens automatically
by means of the torque when the blade

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.109 General information on the alcolock
The alcolock's1 function is to prevent the car
from being driven by individuals under the
influence of alcohol. Before the engine can be
started the driver must take a breath test that
verifies that he/she is not under the influence
of alcohol. Alcolock calibration takes place in
accordance with each market's limit value in
force for driving legally.
WARNING
The Alcolock is an aid and does not exempt
the driver from responsibility. It is always the
responsibility of the driver to be sober and
to drive the car safely.
Functions
1. Nozzle for breath test.
2. Switch.
3. Transmission button.
4. Lamp for battery status.
5. Lamp for result of breath test.
6. Lamp indicates ready for breath test.

Gearboxes

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.125 Automatic gearbox Powershift*
D: Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear
positions.
Powershift is a 6-stage automatic gearbox that
has double mechanical clutch discs in contrast
to a conventional automatic gearbox. A con-
ventional automatic gearbox has a hydraulic
torque converter instead that transfers power
from engine to gearbox.
Powershift transmission operates in the same
way and has similar controls and functions as
the Geartronic automatic transmission, descri-
bed in the previous section.
Powershift or Geartronic?In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not
the car is equipped with Powershift transmis-sion, this can be verified by checking the des-
ignation on the transmission's label under the
bonnet - see page 370. The designa-
tion ”MPS6” means that it is Powershift – trans-
mission otherwise it is Geartronic automatic
transmission.
HSAThe HSA (Hill Start Assist) function means that
the pressure in the brake system remains for
several seconds while the foot is moved from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal before
setting off or reversing uphill.
The temporary braking effect releases after
several seconds or when the driver acceler-
ates.
To bear in mindThe transmission's double clutch has overload
protection that is activated if it becomes too
hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary with the
accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient for a
long time.
Overheated transmission causes the car to
shake and vibrate, and the warning symbol illu-
minates and the information display shows a
message. The transmission can also overheat
during slow driving in queues (10 km/h orslower) on an uphill gradient, or with a trailer
hitched. The transmission cools down when
the car is stationary, with foot brake depressed
and the engine running at idling speed.
Overheating during slow driving in queues can
be avoided by driving in stages: Stop the car
and wait with your foot on the brake pedal until
there is a moderate distance to the traffic
ahead, drive forward a short distance, and then
wait another moment with your foot on the
brake pedal.
IMPORTANT
Use the foot brake to hold the car stationary
on an uphill gradient - do not hold the car
with the accelerator pedal. The gearbox
could then overheat.
For important information regarding Powershift
transmission and towing - see page 304.
Text message and actionIn some situations the display may show a
message at the same time as a symbol is illu-
minated.

The table shows three steps with an increased
degree of seriousness should the transmission
become too hot. In parallel with the display text
the driver is also advised that the car's elec-
tronics are temporarily changing the driving
characteristics. Follow the instructions on the
information display where appropriate.
NOTE
The table's examples are no indication that
the car is defective but instead show that a
safety function has been activated inten-
tionally to prevent damage to one of the
car's components.
WARNING
If a warning symbol combined with the textTransm. overheat park safely is ignored
then the heat in the gearbox may become
so high that the power transmission
between engine and gearbox is temporarily
halted in order to prevent the clutch from
malfunctioning - the car then loses drive and
is stationary until gearbox temperature has
cooled to an acceptable level.

respective proposals for solutions concerning
automatic transmission, see page 200.
A display text clears automatically after the
action has been carried out or after one press
on the indicator stalk OK button.

Parking brake
03
137 General
FunctionA faint electric motor noise can be heard when
the electrical parking brake is being applied.
The noise can also be heard during the auto-
matic function checking of the parking brake.
If the car is stationary when the parking brake
is applied then it only acts on the rear wheels.
If it is applied when the car is moving then the
normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts
on all four wheels. Brake function changes over
to the rear wheels when the car is almost sta-
tionary.
Low battery voltageIf the battery voltage is too low then the parking
brake can neither be released nor applied.
Connect a donor battery if the battery voltage
is too low, see page 120.
Applying the parking brake
Parking brake control - apply.
1. Press the foot brake pedal down firmly.
2. Press the control.
> The combined instrument panel symbol
starts flashing - once there is a
constant glow it is applied.
3. Release the foot brake pedal and make
sure that the car is at a standstill position.
•When parking the vehicle, always engage
1st gear (for manual gearbox) or put the
gear selector in position P (for automatic
gearbox).
In an emergency the parking brake can be
applied when the vehicle is moving by depress-
ing the control. When the control is released orthe accelerator pedal is depressed the braking
is interrupted.
NOTE
In the event of emergency braking at speeds
above 10 km/h a signal sounds during the
braking procedure.
Parking on a hillIf the car is parked facing uphill:
•Turn the wheels away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill:
•Turn the wheels towards the kerb.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when park-
ing on a slope - leaving the car in gear, or in
P if it has automatic transmission, is not suf-
ficient to hold the car in all situation.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.141 General
HomeLink Ÿ1 is a programmable remote control
which can remotely control up to three different
devices (e.g. garage door opener, alarm sys-
tem, outdoor lighting and indoor lighting etc.)
and in doing so replace their remote controls.
For more information on HomeLink
Ÿ, visit:
www.homelink.com or ring
00 8000 466 354 65 (or premium rate phone
number, +49 6838 907 277).
WARNING
•If HomeLink Ÿ is used to operate a
garage door or gate, make sure that
there is no-one in the vicinity of the door
or gate while it is moving.
•The car should remain outside the
garage while a garage door opener is
being programmed.
•Do not use HomeLink Ÿ for any garage
door that does not have safety stop and
safety reverse.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when changing to another
car or for use in another vehicle). It is also rec-
ommended that the programming for the but-
tons is deleted when the car is sold. See the
section "Resetting the HomeLink® buttons" on
page 142.
Programming HomeLink Ÿ
NOTE
In certain vehicles the ignition must be
switched on or in "accessory position"
before HomeLink
Ÿ can be programmed or
used. If possible, fit new batteries in the
remote control that shall be replaced by
HomeLink
Ÿ for faster programming and
improved transmission of the radio signal.
The HomeLink
Ÿ buttons should be reset
before programming. When this has been
done HomeLink
Ÿ is set in "learn mode" and
ready for programming.
1. Aim the original remote control towards the
HomeLink Ÿ button to be programmed and
hold it 5-14 cm from the button. Do not
obstruct the indicator lamp on
HomeLink
Ÿ.
2. Depress the button on the original remote
control and the button to be programmed
