120 Driving and operating Ignition switch positions Starting the engine Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn key back to LOCK. Start attempts should not last longer than 15 seconds. If engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before repeating starting procedure. The increased engine speed automatically returns to normal idling speed as the engine temperature rises. Drive at a moderate speed, especially in cold weather, until normal engine operating temperatures have been reached.
Driving and operating Ensure the engine oil is of the correct viscosity, the correct fuel is used, vehicle services are performed regularly and the battery is sufficiently charged. ■ Overrun cut-off The fuel supply is automatically cutoff during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released. Parking ■ Always apply the electrical parking brake. Pull switch m. For maximum force, e.g. parking with a trailer or on inclines, pull switch m twice.
122 Driving and operating Engine exhaust 9 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. The filter is cleaned by periodically burning off the soot particles at high temperature.
Driving and operating may be a fault in the diesel particle filter 3 81. Seek the assistance of a workshop immediately. Caution If the cleaning process is interrupted, there is a risk of provoking severe engine damage. Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads. Control indicator % extinguishes as soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete. Catalytic converter The catalytic converter reduces the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gases.

126 Driving and operating Activation In automatic mode, press button s; control indicator s illuminates in the instrument cluster 3 86. The settings of certain electronic systems are adapted to reduce fuel consumption: ■ The engine reacts less quickly to the accelerator pedal. ■ Automatic upshift points occur sooner and downshift points occur later. ■ The transmission locks itself to the engine at cruising speeds, to improve efficiency and increase power and torque.
Driving and operating 3. Remove trim cover. Manual transmission 127 Caution It is inadvisable to drive with hand resting on the selector lever. 4. Press and hold shift lock release button. 5. Shift to neutral (N). 6. Replace trim cover. 7. Start engine and shift to chosen gear. Have the cause of the power supply interruption remedied by a workshop. To engage reverse, with the vehicle stationary depress clutch pedal and engage the gear.
128 Driving and operating Drive systems All-wheel drive All-wheel drive is an active-ondemand system that engages automatically, with no action required by the driver. Depending on the driving environment, the vehicle switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, to give the vehicle more traction and stability when necessary. If the front wheels begin to slip, the rear wheels will automatically begin to drive the vehicle as required.
Driving and operating Towing the vehicle 3 180. Driving through water Do not exceed the maximum wading depth 3 193. Check the depth of water: choose the lowest entry and departure angles before entering. Maintain a steady engine speed, to help prevent water from entering the exhaust system, but do not exceed 3 mph, to avoid splashing the water. Drive with the flow wherever possible, not against it.
130 Driving and operating ■ Transfer box and underguard ■ Engine oil pan and underguard Observe the following: ■ Do not spray high-pressure water directly at the vehicle seals ■ The wheels must be removed to clean all mud and stones from the brake calipers and to check brake pad wear ■ The areas on the upper side of the underguards must be cleared of stones, to prevent damage to the engine oil pan and the fuel tank Brakes The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits.
Driving and operating Parking brake Fault 9 Warning Electrical parking brake If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may be liable to lock due to braking that is heavier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may swerve. You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
132 Driving and operating This function also helps driving away on inclines. Aggressive drive away may reduce life time of wear parts. Dynamic braking when vehicle is moving When the vehicle is moving and the switch m is kept pulled, a warning chime will sound and the electrical parking brake system will decelerate the vehicle, but will not apply statically. As soon as the switch m is released, dynamic braking will be stopped.
Driving and operating Ride control systems Electronic Stability Control Electronic Stability Control (ESC) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
134 Driving and operating Trailer stability assist If the system detects snaking movements, engine power is reduced and the vehicle/trailer combination is selectively braked until the snaking ceases. While system is working keep steering wheel as still as possible. Descent control system The Descent control system (DCS) allows the vehicle to travel at a low speed without depressing the foot brake.
Driving and operating temperatures may differ according to vehicle conditions or outside conditions. Flashing or illumination of the yellow control indicator u reminds the driver that the friction material needs to cool down: drive the vehicle without braking as much as possible. If the control indicator does not extinguish, have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. DSC control indicators u 3 84. Headlight range adjustment 3 103.
136 Driving and operating With automatic transmission, only activate cruise control in automatic mode. Control indicator m 3 87. Alternatively accelerate to the desired speed and store by pressing the SET button. Activation With cruise control active, press and hold the - SET button or tap the SET button repeatedly: speed decreases continuously or in small increments. Press the e button; control indicator m illuminates yellow in the instrument cluster.
Driving and operating Object detection systems Control indicator r 3 84. Activation Parking assist The parking assist system makes parking easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles to the front and rear, and giving acoustic signals. It is the driver, however, who bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre. The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in both the front and rear bumpers. 137 When the distance is less than 30 cm, the signal is continuous.
138 Driving and operating If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times continuously when there are no obstacles near the front or rear bumper, there is a fault in the system. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. Important hints for using the parking assist system 9 Warning Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect obstacles.
Driving and operating Fuel for diesel engines Only use diesel fuel that complies with DIN EN 5902). The fuel must have low sulphur content (max. 10 ppm). Equivalent standardised fuels with a biodiesel (= FAME according to EN14214) content of max. 7 % by volume (such as DIN 51628 or equivalent standards) may be used. Country-specific exception for Morocco: use Diesel 50 ppm only.
140 Driving and operating To unlock fuel filler cap: turn it anticlockwise. If hissing occurs, wait until it stops before completely unscrewing the cap. The fuel filler cap can be retained in the holder on the inside of the fuel filler flap. After refuelling, replace the fuel filler cap and turn it clockwise until you hear several clicks. Ensure the cap is screwed in completely, otherwise control indicator Z may illuminate in the instrument cluster 3 81. Close fuel filler flap.
Driving and operating Towing General information The coupling ball bar is kept in a bag, fastened with a strap and is stowed below the floor cover in the load compartment. 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. Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle. Control indicator g illuminates in the instrument cluster when a trailer is connected to the vehicle 3 88.
142 Driving and operating The permitted trailer load applies 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).
Driving and operating Remove sealing plug from the hole for the coupling ball bar and stow it in the load compartment. Confirm that the colour marking on the lever is red. 143 Inserting the coupling ball bar Insert the coupling ball bar into the coupling housing and push firmly downwards until the coupling ball bar audibly engages. If it does not engage, repeat fitting procedure. Do not swing the coupling ball bar to the left or right, or upwards and downwards, to avoid disrupting correct fitting.
144 Driving and operating 9 Warning Towing a trailer is permitted only when the coupling ball bar is fitted correctly. If the coupling ball bar cannot be properly attached, seek the assistance of a workshop. Eye for break-away stopping cable In the case of trailers with brakes, attach the break-away stopping cable to the eye - not to the coupling ball bar. Dismounting the coupling ball bar Unlock coupling ball bar and remove key.

Ensure that the direction of rotation of the wheels is the same as before. Tyres age, even if they are not used. We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years.
172 Vehicle care Tyre chains Tyre chains are permitted only on tyres of size 215/70 R 16. We recommend you consult your service partner. The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel. If the use of tyre chains is required after suffering a flat front tyre, fit the temporary spare wheel on the rear axle and transfer one of the rear wheels to the front axle. Tyre repair kit Tyre chains are only permitted on the front wheels.
Vehicle care Caution Do not allow objects to protrude above the top of the rear floor storage compartment, to avoid damage to the storage area and the load compartment floor. 1. Release the sealant filler hose 1 and the power plug 2. 2. Unscrew valve cap from defective tyre. Screw the sealant filler hose onto the tyre valve. 173 3. Connect the power plug to the power outlet or cigarette lighter socket. Unplug all items from other power outlets. 4. Switch on ignition.
174 Vehicle care is obtained, switch off the compressor. If the prescribed tyre pressure is not obtained within 10 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move the vehicle one tyre rotation. Reattach the tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the tyre is too badly damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button next to the pressure gauge.
Vehicle care 13. Turn the selector switch clockwise to the air only position. Switch on the compressor to inflate the tyre with air only. Note The driving characteristic of the repaired tyre is severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced. If unusual noise is heard or the compressor becomes hot, turn compressor off for at least 30 minutes. Note the expiry date of the kit. After this date its sealing capability is no longer guaranteed. Pay attention to storage information on sealant canister.
176 Vehicle care ■ Do not raise the vehicle more than is necessary to change a wheel. ■ No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up. ■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle. ■ Do not start the engine when it is raised on the jack. ■ Clean wheel nuts and thread before mounting the wheel. 1. Pull off the wheel cover. 2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and loosen each wheel nut by one turn by turning anticlockwise.
Vehicle care 8. Screw on the wheel nuts and tighten slightly by hand by turning clockwise until wheel is held against the hub. 9. Rotate wrench anticlockwise and lower vehicle to the ground. Have the defective tyre renewed and replace temporary spare wheel with a full specification wheel without delay. Spare wheel Temporary spare wheel 5. Attach wheel wrench to eye of threaded rod and rotate wrench clockwise to raise vehicle.
178 Vehicle care The temporary spare wheel is located in the load compartment below the floor cover and is secured with a screw-in retainer. Push both levers on the floor cover towards the handle and pull up floor cover by the handle. Hang the hook to the upper part of the tailgate opening. Vehicle tools 3 166. Remove the retainer by rotating it anticlockwise and remove temporary spare wheel from the spare wheel well. Only mount one temporary spare wheel. Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Vehicle care Jump starting Do not start with quick charger. A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle. 9 Warning Be extremely careful when starting with jump leads. Any deviation from the following instructions can lead to injuries or damage caused by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both vehicles. 9 Warning Avoid contact of the battery with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.
180 Vehicle care 3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal 3 of the booster battery. 4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle grounding point, such as the engine block 4 or an engine mounting bolt. Connect as far away from the discharged battery as possible, however at least 60 cm. Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment. To start the engine: 1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump start. 2.
Vehicle care Switch on ignition to release steering wheel lock and to permit operation of brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper. Transmission in neutral. Switch on the hazard warning lights on both vehicles. Turn key to ignition switch position ACC and release the electrical parking brake before towing the vehicle. Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. When the engine is not running, considerably more force is needed to brake and steer.
182 Vehicle care Screw the rear towing eye attachment anticlockwise using a suitable screwdriver, until it is firmly in place and stops in a horizontal position. Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow rod – to the rear towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering a vehicle. Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. To prevent damage, do not take up slack in the tow rope too quickly.
Vehicle care Exterior lights Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry. Polishing and waxing Wax the vehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer beads). Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out. Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protective film, making waxing unnecessary.
184 Vehicle care alternator and brake fluid reservoir with plastic sheets before washing the engine. When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not direct the steam jet towards components of the antilock brake system, air conditioning system or the belt drive and its components. After an engine wash, have all engine compartment components preserved thoroughly by a workshop using protective wax. Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
