Starting procedure with the SmartKey

To start the engine using the SmartKey

instead of KEYLESS-GO, pull the Start/

Stop button out of the ignition lock.

tion (Y page 161) lock and release it as

The Start/Stop button can be used to

start the vehicle manually without inserting

ignition lock and the SmartKey must be in

the vehicle. This mode for starting the

engine operates independently of the ECO

start/stop automatic engine start function.

Depress the brake pedal and keep it

depressed.

Press the Start/Stop button once

(Y page 161).

The engine starts.

Pulling away

General notes

WARNING

If the engine speed is above the idling speed

and you engage transmission position D or R,

the vehicle could pull away suddenly. There is

a risk of an accident.

When engaging transmission position D or R,

always firmly depress the brake pedal and do

not simultaneously accelerate.

If a warning tone sounds and the

Release Park. BrakeRelease Park. Brake message appears

in the multifunction display, the parking

brake is still applied. Release the parking

brake.

Depress the accelerator carefully when

pulling away.

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 lock-

ing feature (Y page 239).

It is only possible to shift the transmission

from position P to the desired position if

you depress the brake pedal. If the brake

pedal is not depressed, the DIRECT SELECT

lever can still be moved but the parking lock

remains engaged.

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

forwards or in reverse on an uphill gradient. It

holds the vehicle for a short time after you

have removed your foot from the brake pedal.

This gives you enough time to move your foot

from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal

and to depress it before the vehicle begins to

roll.

WARNING

After a short time, hill start assist will no lon-

ger brake your vehicle and it could roll away.

There is a risk of an accident and injury.

Therefore, quickly move your foot from the

brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Never

leave the vehicle when it is held by hill start

assist.
