During an Autostop, the heating and

brake performance will be

maintained.

●

The self-cleaning function of the

exhaust filter is not active.

The vehicle was driven at least at

walking speed since the last

Autostop.

Power saving measures

During an Autostop, several electrical

features such as auxiliary electric

heater or rear window heating are

disabled or switched to a power

saving mode. The fan speed of the

climate control system is reduced to

save power.

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 driver's door is closed or the

driver's seat belt is fastened.

The vehicle battery is sufficiently

charged and in good condition.

Notice

Restart of the engine by the driver

The Autostop may be inhibited for

several hours after a battery

replacement or reconnection.

Vehicles with manual transmission

Depress the clutch pedal without

depressing the brake pedal to restart

the engine.

Certain settings of the climate control

system may inhibit an Autostop. See

Climate control chapter for more

details 3 111.

If an autostop is temporarily not

available, D flashes green 3 87.

●

The engine is warmed up.

The engine coolant temperature

is not too high.

Vehicles with automatic transmission

The engine is restarted if

The engine exhaust temperature

is not too high, e.g. after driving

with high engine load.

Driving and operating

Restart of the engine by the stop-

start system

The selector lever must 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:

Parking

P. Turn the front wheels

towards the kerb.

Close the windows.

Remove the ignition key from

the ignition switch or switch off

ignition on vehicles with power

button. Turn the steering wheel

until the steering wheel lock is

felt to engage.

9 Warning

●

Do not park the vehicle on an

easily ignitable surface. The

high temperature of the

exhaust system could ignite the

surface.

Always apply the parking

brake. Activate the parking

brake without pressing the

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.

●

The stop-start system is

manually deactivated.

●

Lock the vehicle with e on the

radio remote control.

Or with electronic key system

press marking on front door

handles 3 22.

Activate the anti-theft alarm

system 3 31.

The engine cooling fans may run

after the engine has been

switched off 3 176.

●

The driver's seat belt is

unfastened or the driver's door is

opened.

●

The engine temperature is too

low.

●

The charging level of the vehicle

battery is below a defined level.

The brake vacuum is not

sufficient.

The climate control system

requests an engine start.

●

Switch off the engine.

If the vehicle is on a level

surface or uphill slope, engage

first gear or set the selector

lever to position P. On an uphill

slope, turn the front wheels

away from the kerb.

Caution

If an electrical accessory, e.g. a

After running at high engine

speeds or with high engine loads,

operate the engine briefly at a low

load or run in neutral for

portable CD player, is connected to

the power outlet, a brief power drop

during the restart might be noticeable.

If the vehicle is on a downhill

slope, engage reverse gear or

set the selector lever to position

permit, regenerate the filter by driving

at a vehicle speed of at least 40 mph

until the control indicator

9 Danger

extinguishes.

Notice

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.

In the event of an accident with

airbag deployment, the engine is

switched off automatically if the

vehicle comes to a standstill within a

certain time.

Notice

On a new vehicle, the first exhaust

filter regeneration operations may

be accompanied by a burning smell,

which is normal. Following

prolonged operation of the vehicle at

very low speed or at idle, water

vapour can be emitted at the

exhaust on acceleration. This does

not affect the behaviour of the

vehicle or the environment.

In countries with extreme low

temperatures it may be necessary to

park the vehicle without applied

parking brake. Make sure to park the

vehicle on a level surface.

Keys, locks 3 20.

Laying-up the vehicle for a long

period of time 3 175.

Avoid driving with an open load

compartment, otherwise exhaust

gases could enter the vehicle.

Cleaning process not possible

Exhaust filter

Automatic cleaning process

The exhaust filter system filters soot

particles out of the exhaust gases.

If % or C stays on, accompanied

by an audible signal and a message,

this indicates that the exhaust filter

additive level is too low.

The reservoir must be topped-up

without delay. Seek the assistance of

a workshop.

The start of saturation of the exhaust

filter is indicated by the temporary

illumination of % or C,

accompanied by a message in the

Driver Information Centre.

Driving and operating

Catalytic converter

AdBlue

General information

The selective catalytic reduction

(BlueInjection) is a method to

substantially reduce the nitrogen

oxides in the exhaust emission. This

is achieved by injecting a Diesel

Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust

system. The ammonia released by

the fluid reacts with nitrous gases

(NO_x) from the exhaust and turns it

Caution

The catalytic converter reduces the

amount of harmful substances in the

exhaust gases.

Avoid contact of the paintwork with

AdBlue.

In case of contact, rinse off with

Caution

water.

Fuel grades other than those listed

on pages 3 166, 3 225 could

damage the catalytic converter or

electronic components.

Unburnt fuel will overheat and

damage the catalytic converter.

Therefore avoid excessive use of

the starter, running the fuel tank

dry and starting the engine by

pushing or towing.

AdBlue freezes at a temperature of

approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is

equipped with an AdBlue preheater,

the emissions reduction at low

temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue

preheater works automatically.

into nitrogen and water.

The designation of this fluid is

AdBlue^®. It is a non-toxic, non-

flammable, colourless and odourless

fluid which consists of 32% urea and

68% water.

Notice

Frozen and again liquefied AdBlue is

usable without quality loss.

Level warnings

In the event of misfiring, uneven

engine running, a reduction in engine

performance or other unusual

problems, have the cause of the fault

rectified by a workshop as soon as

possible. In an emergency, driving

can be continued for a short period,

keeping vehicle speed and engine

speed low.

The AdBlue consumption is approx.

1.5 l per 600 miles. The consumption

can be higher depending on driving

behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).

Depending on the calculated range of

AdBlue, different messages are

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre. The messages and the

restrictions are a legal requirement.

9 Warning

Avoid contact of your eyes or skin

with AdBlue.

In case of eye or skin contact,

rinse off with water.
