STARTING AND DRIVING

Starting the car

The car is started using the start knob in the tunnel console when the remote control key is in the passenger compartment.

To start the car:

1. The remote control key must be inside the car. For cars with Passive Start, the key needs to be located in the front part of the passenger compartment. With the option for keyless locking/unlocking* of the car, the key can be anywhere in the car.
2. Hold the brake pedal depressed1 fully. For cars with automatic gear changing, make sure that gear position P or N is selected. For cars with a manual gearbox, make sure that the gear lever is in neutral position or that the clutch pedal is depressed.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and then release it. The control automatically returns to its starting position.

When the engine is started, the starter motor works until the engine is started or until its overheating protection triggers.

Error messages

• If the Car key not found message is shown in the driver display when starting, place the remote control key by the backup reader. Then try to start the car again.

Help when starting on a hill

• Hill start assist (HSA4) prevents the car from rolling backwards when starting on an uphill gradient. When reversing uphill, it prevents the car from rolling forwards.
• The function means that the pedal pressure in the brake system remains for several seconds while the driver's foot is moved from brake pedal to accelerator pedal.
• The temporary braking effect releases after several seconds or when the driver starts to drive away.
• Hill start assist is available even when the function for automatic brake when stationary (Auto hold) is deactivated.

Auto braking after a collision

• In the event of a collision in which the activation level is reached for the pyrotechnic seatbelt tensioners or airbags, or if a collision with a large animal is detected, the car's brakes are automatically applied. This function is to prevent or reduce the effects of any subsequent collision.
• After a serious collision there is a risk that it is no longer possible to control and steer the car. In order to avoid or mitigate a possible further collision with a vehicle or an object in the vehicle's path, the auto braking system is activated automatically and brakes the car in a safe manner.
• Brake lights and hazard warning lights are activated during braking. When the car has stopped, the hazard warning lights continue to flash and the parking brake is applied.
• If braking is not appropriate, e.g. if there is a risk of being hit by following traffic, the system can be overridden by the driver depressing the accelerator pedal.
• The function assumes that the brake system is intact after the collision.

Gear shift indicator

• The gear shift indicator in the driver display shows the current gear during manual gearshifting and when it is appropriate to engage the next gear for optimum fuel economy. For eco-driving during manual gear changing, it is important to drive in the right gear and to change gear in good time.
• The gear shift indicator shows the current gear in the driver display and uses an up arrow to indicate when shifting to a higher gear is recommended.
• The gear shift indicator shows the current gear in the driver display and indicates recommended shifting to a higher gear by a flashing plus sign.

All-wheel drive

• All-wheel drive (AWD8) means that the car is driving all four wheels at the same time, which improves traction.
• To achieve the best possible traction, the motive force is distributed automatically to the wheels with the best grip. The system continuously calculates the need for torque to the rear wheels, and can immediately redistribute up to half of the motor's torque to the rear wheels.
• All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at higher speeds. Under normal driving conditions, the majority of power is transmitted to the front wheels. When stationary, the allwheel drive is always engaged in preparation for maximum traction during acceleration
• All-wheel drive characteristics vary depending on the selected drive mode.

Drive mode Eco

Drive mode Eco can help you with more ecofriendly driving, with greater fuel economy. Use this drive mode to save fuel and the environment. The following properties are adapted for Eco mode:

• Gearbox gearshift points.
• Engine management and response from the accelerator pedal.
• The Eco Coast freewheel function is activated and engine braking is deactivated when the accelerator pedal is released at speeds between 65 and 140 km/h (40 and 87 mph).
• Some of the climate control system's settings work at reduced power or are deactivated.
• The driver display shows information in an ECO gauge which facilitates environmentally-conscious and fuel-efficient driving.

Free-wheel function Eco Coast

• The freewheel function Eco Coast means in practice that engine braking ceases, meaning in turn that the car's kinetic energy is used to freewheel for longer distances. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal the gearbox is automatically disengaged from the engine whose speed is reduced to idling speed with reduced consumption.
• The function is best used where it is possible to freewheel a long way e.g. roads with a slight downhill gradient or when there is a predictable speed reduction to freewheel into a zone with a lower speed limit.

Activating the freewheel function

The function is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully released, in combination with the following parameters:

• Drive mode Eco is activated.
• The gear selector is in D position.
• Speed within the range of approx. 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).
• The road's downhill gradient is not steeper than approx. 6%.

The driver display shows COASTING when the freewheel function is being used.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Raise the car

When not in use, the jack* should be stored in its stowage space under the cargo area floor. Read through all instructions before beginning. Take out the tools needed before jacking up the car.

1. Set up the warning triangle and activate the hazard warning lights if, for example, a tyre is being changed in a trafficked location
2. Apply the parking brake and engage gear position P, or engage first gear if the car has a manual gearbox. If the car is equipped with Leveling Control*, this must be disabled before the car is raised.
3. Chock in front of and behind the wheels that remain on the ground. Use, for example, heavy wooden blocks or large stones.
4. Position the jack or the lift arms at the designated spots of the car's undercarriage. The triangle markings in the plastic cover indicate the locations of the jacking/ lifting points. There are two jacking points on each side of the car. There is a recess for the jack at each point.
5. Position the jack on level, firm and nonslippery ground under the jacking point that will be used.
6. Crank up until it is correctly aligned and so that it makes contact with the car's jacking point. Check that the head of the jack (or lifting arms at a workshop) is correctly positioned in the jacking point so that the bump in the centre of the head fits into the jacking point hole, and check that the base of the jack is positioned vertically below the jacking point.
7. Turn the jack so that the crank is as far away from the side of the car as possible, at which point the jack's arms are perpendicular to the direction of the car.
8. Raise the car high enough to perform the intended measure.

Opening and closing the bonnet

The bonnet can be opened using the handle in the passenger compartment and a handle under the bonnet.

Open the bonnet

• Pull the handle near the foot pedals to release the bonnet from its fully closed position.
• Sweep fr
