Child restraints

Child restraint systems

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions

and also those supplied with the child

restraint system.

Always comply with local or national

regulations. In some countries, the

use of child restraint systems is

forbidden on certain seats.

Selecting the right system

Children should travel facing

rearwards in the vehicle, until as old

as possible. It is appropriate to

change the system when the child's

head can no longer be properly

supported at eye height. The childs

cervical vertebrae are still very weak

and in an accident they suffer less

stress in the semi-prone rearward

position than when sitting upright.

Children under 12 years or under

150 cm (5 ft) tall should only travel in

an appropriate child restraint system.

Seats, restraints 59

When transporting children, use the

child restraint systems suitable for the

child's weight.

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of

the child restraint system within the

vehicle is correct.

Only allow children to enter and exit

the vehicle at the side facing away

from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not

in use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Notice

Do not stick anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has

been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.

Driving hints

Control of the vehicle

Never coast with engine not

running

Many systems will not function in this

situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power

steering). Driving in this manner is

a danger to yourself and others.

Pedals

To ensure the pedal travel is

uninhibited, there must be no mats in

the area of the pedals.

Starting and operating

New vehicle running-in

Do not brake unnecessarily hard for

the first few journeys.

During the first drive, smoke may

occur because of wax and oil

evaporating off the exhaust system.

Park the vehicle in the open for

a while after the first drive and avoid

inhaling the fumes.

Fuel and engine oil consumption may

be higher during the running-in

period.

130 Driving and operating

Ignition switch positions

0=Ignition off

1= Steering wheel lock released,

3= Starting

Starting the engine

Starting engine with ignition

switch

Operate clutch and brake, automatic

transmission in P or N, do not

accelerate; for diesel engines, turn

the key to position 2 for preheating

until control indicator ! goes out;

turn key briefly to position 3 and

release key when engine is running.

Before restarting or to switch off the

engine, turn key back to 0.

Starting engine with the

Start/Stop button

The electronic key must be inside the

vehicle. Operate clutch and brake,

automatic transmission in P or N, do

not accelerate, for diesel engines,

press the button briefly to start

preheating, move the steering wheel

slightly to release the steering wheel

lock, wait until control indicator !

goes out and then press button for

1 second and release when the

engine is running.

To repeat the starting procedure or to

switch off the engine, press the button

again.

Driving and operating 143

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 92.

Adaptive brake lamp

During full braking, all three brake

lamps flash for the duration of ABS

control.

Fault

9Warning

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.

Have the cause of the fault remedied

by a workshop.

Parking brake

Always apply parking brake firmly

without operating the release button,

and apply as firmly as possible on

a downhill or uphill slope.

To release the parking brake, pull the

lever up slightly, press the release

button and fully lower the lever.

To reduce the operating forces of the

parking brake, depress the foot brake

at the same time.

Control indicator R 3 92.

Brake assist

If the brake pedal is depressed

quickly and forcefully, maximum

brake force is automatically applied

(full braking).

Maintain steady pressure on the

brake pedal for as long as full braking

is required. Maximum brake force is

automatically reduced when the

brake pedal is released.

Hill start assist

The system helps driving away on

inclines at a constant speed by

holding the vehicle. After the parking

brake is disengaged and the foot

brake pedal is released, the brakes

are released after a 2 second delay.

Driving and operating 147

Object detection systems

Parking assist

The parking assist makes parking

easier by measuring the distance

between the vehicle and obstacles. It

is the driver, however, who bears full

responsibility for parking.

The system consists of four ultrasonic

parking sensors in each of the front

and rear bumpers.

Control indicator r 3 92.

Notice

Attached parts in the detection area

cause system malfunction.

Activation

When reverse gear is engaged, the

system switches itself on

automatically.

The system can also be activated at

low speed by pressing the r button.

An obstacle is indicated by buzzers.

The interval between the buzzers

becomes shorter as the vehicle gets

closer to the obstacle. When the

distance is less than 1 ft, the buzzer

is continuous.

9Warning

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.

Deactivation

Deactivate the system by pressing

the r button.

The system deactivates automatically

when reverse gear is disengaged.

Towing equipment

The system automatically detects

factory-fitted towing equipment.

When towing, plugging the trailer

cable into the socket automatically

switches the parking assist off.

148 Driving and operating

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with DIN EN 228.

Equivalent standardised fuels with an

ethanol content of max. 10 % by

volume may be used. In this case only

use fuel that complies with

DIN 51625.

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating 3 208. Use of fuel with

too low an octane rating can reduce

engine power and torque and slightly

increases fuel consumption.

Caution

Use of fuel with too low an octane

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies

with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have

low sulphur content (max. 50 ppm).

Equivalent standardised fuels with

a biodiesel (= FAME according to

EN14214) content of max. 7% by

volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent

standards) may be used.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating

oils or entirely or partially plant-based

diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or

bio diesel, Aquazole and similar

diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels

must not be diluted with fuels for

petrol engines.

The flow and filterability of diesel fuel

are temperature-dependent. When

temperatures are low, refuel with

diesel fuel with guaranteed winter

properties.

Refuelling

9Danger

Before refuelling, switch off engine

and any external heaters with

combustion chambers (identified

by sticker on fuel filler flap). Switch

off any mobile phones.

Follow the operating and safety

instructions of the filling station

when refuelling.
