Driving and parking
Starting the engine
 | Risk of accident |
|
Do not keep any objects in the driver's footwell. If you use a floormat or carpet in the driver's footwell, make sure that they are correctly secured and that there is sufficient clearance for the pedals.
Objects could otherwise get between the pedals in the event of sudden braking or acceleration. You may then no longer be able to brake, change gear or accelerate as intended. This may result in an accident and injury.
|
| Risk of poisoning |
|
Never leave the engine running in enclosed spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes constitutes a health hazard and could lead to loss of consciousness or even death.
|
 | |
|
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.
|
 | |
|
If you depress the brake when starting the engine, pedal travel will be unusually long and there will be less pedal resistance.
|
Automatic transmission
 |
| P | Park position with parking lock |
|
 |
Before starting, make sure P is selected.
|
| |
|
The engine can also be started when the DIRECT SELECT selector lever is in position N.
|
Further information about the automatic transmission more.
Starting the engine with the key
| |
To start a petrol engine: turn the key to position 3 in the ignition lock more and release it.
|
| |
The engine starts automatically.
|
| |
To start a diesel engine: turn the key to position 2 in the ignition lock more.
|
| |
The  preglow indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up.
|
| |
When the preglow indicator lamp goes out, turn the key to position 3 more and release it.
|
| |
The engine starts automatically.
|
| |
| |
|
You can start the engine without preglow if the engine is warm.
|
|
Starting the engine with KEYLESS GO*
| Risk of injury |
|
Your vehicle can be started using a valid KEYLESS GO key*. For this reason, children should never be left unsupervised in the vehicle. Always take the KEYLESS GO key* with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for a short time.
|
The KEYLESS GO button can be used to start the vehicle without inserting the key in the ignition lock.
 |
 | KEYLESS GO button |
|
| |
Depress the brake pedal.
|
| |
The selector lever lock is released.
|
| |
Petrol engine: press KEYLESS GO button once.
|
| |
The engine starts automatically.
|
| |
Diesel engine: press KEYLESS GO button once.
|
| |
Preglow is activated and the engine starts automatically.
|
| |
|
You can start the engine without preglow if the engine is warm:
| |
Press and hold KEYLESS GO button until the engine is running.
|
|
Pulling away
| |
|
Warm up the engine quickly. Do not use the engine's full performance until it has reached operating temperature.
Only shift into reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary.
Where possible, avoid spinning the drive wheels when pulling away on slippery roads. You could otherwise damage the drive train.
|
| |
|
AMG vehicles: at
low engine temperatures (below +20 °C), the maximum engine
speed is limited in order to protect the engine. Avoid driving at full throttle
when the engine is cold in order to protect the engine and maintain smooth
engine operation.
|
| |
|
The vehicle locks
centrally once you have pulled away. The locking knobs in the doors drop
down.
You can
open the doors from the inside at any time.
You can also deactivate the automatic locking feature
more.
|
| |
|
It is only possible
to move the selector lever to the desired position if you depress the brake
pedal. Only then is the selector lever lock released.
|
| |
Depress the brake
pedal and hold it down.
|
| |
Pull the parking
brake release handle to release the parking brake.
|
| |
Move the selector
lever to position D or R.
|
| |
| |
|
Wait until the
shift process is completed before pulling away.
|
|
| |
Release the brake
pedal.
|
| |
Carefully depress
the accelerator pedal.
|
| |
| |
|
Upshifts take place
at higher engine speeds after a cold start. This helps the catalytic converter
to reach its operating temperature more
quickly.
|
|
Hill start assist
Hill start assist helps you when pulling away on uphill gradients of more than 5°.
| Risk of accident |
|
Hill start assist is not a parking brake. It does not prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
When parking, always depress the parking brake and set the automatic transmission to P.
|
| |
To pull away on an uphill slope, release the brake and depress the accelerator pedal.
|
| |
The hill start assist continues to hold the braking pressure for up to one second. This allows you to pull away evenly without the vehicle rolling back.
|
| |
|
The brake pedal remains in the depressed position until the hill start assist releases the braking pressure.
|
Hill start assist will not function if:
-
you are pulling away on a downhill gradient
-
the automatic transmission is in neutral N
-
the parking brake is applied
-
ESP® is deactivated due to a malfunction
Parking
| Risk of accident |
|
Only remove the key from the ignition lock when the vehicle is stationary as you cannot steer the vehicle with the key removed.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. They could release the parking brake. This could lead to a serious or fatal accident.
|
| Risk of fire |
|
Make sure that the exhaust system does not under any circumstances come into contact with easily ignitable material such as dry grass or petrol. The material could otherwise ignite and set the vehicle on fire.
|
Parking brake
 |

|
Switching off the engine
| Risk of accident |
|
If the engine is not running, there is no power assistance for the steering and brakes. Steering and braking then takes much more effort.
As a result, you might lose control of the vehicle, cause an accident and injure yourself and others.
Do not switch off the engine while driving.
|
| |
Move the selector lever to P.
|
Using the key
| |
Turn the key to position 0 more in the ignition lock and remove it.

|
| |
| |
|
If you switch off the engine using the key and then remove the key or open one of the front doors, the automatic transmission will shift to park position P.
|
|
Using KEYLESS GO*
| |
Press and hold the KEYLESS GO button more.
|
| |
The engine stops and all the indicator lamps in the instrument cluster go out more.
|
| |
|
If you use the KEYLESS GO button to switch off the engine, the automatic transmission shifts to N. If you then open the driver's or front-passenger door, the automatic transmission shifts to P.
