WARNING

•

You must not adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving!

•

The driver must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering

wheel ⇒ fig. 143. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the

airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!

•

For safety reasons the lever must always be firmly pushed up to avoid the

steering wheel altering its position unintentionally when driving - risk of

accident!

•

If you adjust the steering wheel further towards the head, you will reduce

the protection offered by the driver airbag in the event of an accident. Check

that the steering wheel is aligned to the chest.

•

When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the

outer edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Never hold the steering

wheel firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle

of the steering wheel or at the inner steering wheel edge). In such cases,

injuries to the arms, the hands and the head can occur when the driver

airbag is deployed.

gearbox

WARNING

•

Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary - risk of acci-

dent!

Shift into reverse only when the vehicle is stationary. Depress the clutch pedal and

hold it fully depressed. Wait a moment before engaging reverse gear in order to

avoid any shift noises.

•

The brake booster only operates when the engine is running. Greater

physical effort for braking is required when engine is switched off. Because

if you do not stop as normal, this can cause an accident and severe injuries.

The reversing lights will come on once reverse gear is engaged, provided the igni-

tion is on.

Caution

WARNING

you should not switch the engine off right away at the end of your journey after the

engine has been operated for a lengthy period at high loads but should be allowed

it to run at idling speed for about 2 minutes. This prevents any accumulation of heat

when the engine is switched off.

Never engage the reverse gear when driving - risk of accident!

Note

•

One should not lay the hand on the shift lever while driving the vehicle. The

pressure of the hand will be transferred to the gearshift forks in the gearbox. This

can, over a period of time, lead to early wear of the gearshift forks.

Note

•

The radiator fan may continue running for a further 10 minutes or so after the

engine and the ignition have been switched off. The coolant fan may, however, also

switch on again after some time if the coolant temperature rises because of an

accumulation of heat in the engine or if the engine is warm and the engine

compartment is additionally heated by strong sunlight.

•

Depress the clutch pedal fully when changing gears, in order to avoid unneces-

sary wear and damage.

•

This is why particular care is required when carrying out any work in the engine

compartment ⇒ page 219, “Working in the engine compartment”.

WARNING

•

Please note that the handbrake must be fully released. A handbrake

which is only partially released can result in the rear brakes overheating

which will have a negative effect on the operation of the brake system - risk

of accident! In addition this can result in premature wear of the rear brake

pads.

which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).

•

If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after switching the ignition on

and engaging reverse gear, and there is no obstacle close to your vehicle, this indi-

cates a system fault. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.

On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio* or navigation system*, the

distance to the obstruction is shown graphically in the display. On vehicles with a

factory-fitted towing device, the sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The

driver is informed about this by a graphic display (vehicle towing a trailer) in the

radio* or the navigation* display. The radio* or navigation system*, which is

factory-fitted, can be set so that the play function volume decreases when acti-

vating the parking aid, see Owner's Manual radio* or navigation system*. This

improves the audibility of the parking aid.

•

The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to

operate properly.

Front and rear parking aid*

The parking aid provides a warning of obstacles in front and behind

the vehicle.

Activating

The parking aid is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged and the

ignition is turned on. This is confirmed by a brief acknowledgement signal.

Park Assist*

Caution

If other vehicles are parked behind or on the kurb, the park assist guides your

vehicle beyond the kurb or onto it. Make sure that the wheels or the wheel rims of

your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.

•

Description and important information

The park assist assists you when parking in a suitable parallel parking space

between two vehicles or behind a vehicle.

•

You should satisfy yourself before parking that there is no small obstacle, such

as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your vehicle. Such an

obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.

The park assist automatically searches for suitable parking spaces after switching

on the ignition and when driving up to 30 km/h.

•

Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such as

wire mesh fences, powder snow etc..., cannot be recognised by the system.

The evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure depends on the

circumference of the wheels. The system does not function correctly if your vehicle

is mounted with wheels of non-permissible size, snow chains or a temporary spare

wheel (in order to reach the nearest workshop). If the tyres other than those

excepted by the manufacturer are mounted, the resulting position of the vehicle in

the parking space can differ slightly. This can be avoided through new calibration of

the system in a specialist garage.

During the parking procedure the park assist only takes over the steering move-

ments, the pedals continue to be operated by the driver.

•

Function of the system is based on:

•

Length and depth measurement of the parking spaces when driving

Evaluation of the size of the parking space

Definition of the correct position of the vehicle for parking

Calculating the line on which the vehicle drives backwards into the parking

space

•

The accuracy of the evaluation for the parking space can be influenced by the

incorrectly determined outside temperature if the later is influenced by the thermal

radiation of the engine i.e for stop and go in a traffic jam.

•

Actuation of the steering force assistance, automatic spinning of the wheels of

the front axle when parking.

•

In order to avoid damaging the sensors while cleaning with high-pressure

cleaners or steam jets, the sensors must only be directly sprayed for short periods

while a minimum distance of 10 cm must be observed.

WARNING

The park assist does not take away the responsability from the driver when

parking.

Note

•

Pay particular attention to small children and animals as they would not

be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.

Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of

•

A component of the park assist is the front and rear parking aid*.

•

clothing cannot reflect the signal of the park assist or the parking aid. Thus,

these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the

sensors of the parking aid.

•

Only the front parking aid operates if you are towing a trailer (applies only to

models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*). This is why it is not possible

to park backwards with the help of the park assist when towing a trailer.

•

The external sound source of the park assist and the parking aid can be

disruptively influenced and under unfavourable conditions, objects or

people cannot be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.

•

The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to

operate properly.

You can increase the speed by depressing the accelerator. Releasing the acceler-

ator will cause the speed to drop again to the set speed.

This does not apply, however, if you drive at a speed which is more than 10 km/h

higher than the set speed for a period of longer than 5 minutes. The stored speed

will be cancelled in the memory. You then have to re-store the desired speed.

Note

•

Models fitted with a manual gearbox: Always depress the clutch pedal if you

switch on the cruise control system when the gearbox is in Neutral. Otherwise the

engine can rev up unintentionally.

One can reduce the speed in the usual manner. The system is switched off tempo-

rarily by actuating the brake or clutch pedal ⇒ page 132.

•

The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving

on steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at which

it travels. One should shift down in good time to a lower gear or slow the vehicle

down by applying the foot brake.

WARNING

First ensure that it is not too high for the traffic conditions which exist at that

moment before resuming the stored speed.
