Gear shifting conditions

Process of gear shifting can be carried out under below-mentioned conditions.

At the switched-off engine and the provision of a key in the ignition switch in situation 2:

For car statement on parking possibly gear shifting from the situation "N" in the provision of the movement "G" or on transfer of a backing of "R" without additional preliminary squeezing of a pedal of a brake.

Gear shifting in the neutral situation "N" is possible only by pressing of a pedal of a brake.

At a car stop gear shifting from the situation "N" in the provision of the movement "G" is possible, if the brake pedal previously was pressed.

Since speed of movement about 5 km/h gear shifting from the situation "N" in the provision of the movement "G" is possible without preliminary squeezing of a pedal of a brake.

At a car stop gear shifting from the situation "N" on transfer of a backing of "R" is possible, if the brake pedal previously was pressed.

Gear shifting in the neutral situation "N" is always possible without squeezing of a pedal of a brake.

Special case "Maneuvering" - see below.

For gear shifting from the provision of the movement "G" on higher transfer «+» or on lower transfer «-» the set conditions, as, for example, the resolved maximum turns for the set transfer should be maintained. If these conditions are not maintained, demanded process of switching is not carried out.

Engine start

Key in the switch of ignition turn in situation 2. On the indicator of provision of a transmission situation check point, or «0» is displayed.

Start of the engine is possible only if the coulisse of a check point and a transmission are in the situation "N", consider indication!

If the indicator of situation check point displays «0», the transmission is in the situation "N", and the check point coulisse, however, in other situation. On the universal display there is «ENGAGE N TO START» indication (FOR START to INCLUDE the BROADCAST "N"!)
Transfer the check point coulisse to the situation "N".

If the indicator situation check point displays the established transfer, and the coulisse of a check point is in the situation "N", on the universal display there is an indication «APPLY BRAKES!» (SQUEEZE OUT the BRAKE!).

After brake squeezing the transmission is switched in the neutral situation "N"; consider indication of provision of a box!

Engine start is possible now.

Manual mode

In a manual mode the driver should make a manual choice of all processes of switching on lower transfer on long liftings and descents, and also before turns, in particular at big loading (trailer towage).

Troganiye from a place

Troganiye from a place it is possible only on the 1st transfer or on backing transfer.

Press a brake pedal, then make switching from the situation "N" in the provision of the movement "G" or on transfer of a backing of "R". On the indicator of provision of a transmission the included transfer is displayed.

Troganiye from a place is made by the dosed-out squeezing of a pedal of an accelerator. On the equal road by a purposeful otpuskaniye of a working brake the troganiye from a place with speed of the pedestrian can be reached.

If process of switching did not occur, on the indicator of situation check point there is an indication «0», and on the universal display there is an indication «APPLY BRAKES!» (SQUEEZE OUT the BRAKE!).

For repetition of process of gear shifting press a pedal of a brake and slightly shift the check point coulisse in the direction «+», «-» or "And" or include transfer of a backing of "R".

Driving

By switching of the coulisse of a check point the driver chooses demanded transfer.

Switching on higher transfer - the check point coulisse slightly shift in the direction «+».

Switching on lower transfer - the check point coulisse slightly shift in the direction «-».

Switching on higher or lower transfer is made only if turns of the engine are in an admissible range for demanded transfer.

Automatic mode

For a choice of an automatic mode the check point coulisse slightly shift in the direction "A". On the indicator of situation check point it is displayed "And".

In an automatic mode depending on parameters:

· speeds of movement
· provision of a pedal of an accelerator
· automatic inclusion of the corresponding optimum transfer is made.

The switching program automatically adapts for individual style of driving and to the current service conditions by shift of the moments of gear shifting.

Shift of points of gear shifting represents the continuous process which is constantly considering the current operational state and a condition of movement, and also intention of the driver.

Troganiye from a place

Troganiye from a place is made by the dosed-out squeezing of a pedal of an accelerator. On the equal road by a purposeful otpuskaniye of a working brake the troganiye from a place with speed of the pedestrian can be reached.

Driving

Weak pressing an accelerator pedal: early switching on higher transfer.

Strong pressing an accelerator pedal: late switching on higher transfer.

Strong pressing an accelerator pedal - quickly press an accelerator pedal (without overcoming a resistance point "kik-Down"):

Switching on lower admissible transfer. Switching on lower transfer depends on speed of movement.

"Kik-Down" (a pedal of an accelerator press with overcoming of a point of resistance against the stop):

Switching on the lowest admissible transfer.

Switching on higher transfer at nominal turns of the engine, the maximum acceleration.

Switching between manual and automatic modes

After start of the engine and transfer of the coulisse of a check point to the provision of the movement "G" the manual mode at first is activated and the 1st transfer is included. On the indicator of situation check point it is displayed «1».

Switching on an automatic mode

The check point coulisse slightly shift in the direction "A". On the indicator of situation check point it is displayed "And". The automatic mode is activated and automatic inclusion of the corresponding optimum transfer is made.

Switching on a manual mode

AT coulisse slightly shift in the direction "A", an automatic mode деактивируется. Transfer switching thus is not made. On the indicator of situation check point the established transfer is displayed.

AT coulisse slightly shift in the direction «+» or «-», an automatic mode деактивируется. During movement - if it is possible - switching on one higher or lower transfer is made, and on the indicator of situation check point the established transfer is displayed.

Braking/stop

Manual mode

For the purpose of use of braking operation of the engine in a mode of compulsory idling and by pressing a pedal of a brake make switching on optimum in these conditions lower transfer.

In a mode of compulsory idling shortly before achievement of turns of idling of the engine automatic switching on lower transfer is made. Shortly before a stop of the car coupling switching off is made. By means of a working brake insure the car from advance, and on lifting - from a skatyvaniye back. the 1st transfer remains included.

Automatic mode

When braking automatic switching on optimum in these conditions lower transfer is made. Shortly before a stop of the car coupling switching off is made. Leave the check point coulisse in the provision of the movement "G" and protect the car a working brake from advance, a skatyvaniye back and movements with speed of the pedestrian. the 1st transfer remains included.

Maneuvering

When maneuvering in the constrained conditions regulate speed of movement in the dosed-out pressing of a pedal of an accelerator. Press an accelerator pedal only slightly and do not play it.

On the equal road by a purposeful otpuskaniye of a working brake the troganiye from a place with speed of the pedestrian can be reached.

(Departure from a parking lot at close to a parking, for example, in the conditions of snow or снежуры) at low speed of movement switching between the 1st transfer (the provision of the movement "G") and transfer of a backing of "R" can be made for fast maneuvering without brake squeezing. For switching off of blocking of transfer the check point coulisse within about 0.5 seconds it should be switched from the situation "G" in the situation "R" or on the contrary. If switching of the coulisse of a check point is thus made too slowly or speed too high, the transmission is switched in the neutral situation "N".

Parking

Press a pedal of the parking brake.

Include the 1st transfer or transfer of a backing of "R".

The indicator of situation check point should show «1» or «R». Only in this case it is guaranteed that the chosen transfer is included.

On steep slopes or descents turn forward wheels to a bordyurny stone of the sidewalk, watch thus to damaging the tire.

Key in the switch of ignition turn in situation 0 and take out it. Displayed on the situation check point indicator the last transfer remains included.

At a parking the warning sound signal joins, and on the universal display there is an indication «APPLY PARKING BRAKE!» (COCK the PARKING BRAKE!), if the car is left in an uninsured condition, that is, if:

· the car is stopped;
· the door of the driver is open;
· the transmission is switched in the situation "N";
· the parking brake is not cocked.

As soon as raising of the parking brake is made or the door is closed, the warning sound signal is switched off, and on the universal display indication dies away.

Emergency operation

If on the universal display there is «TRANSMISSION» indication «VISIT WORKSHOP!» (The TRANSMISSION, ADDRESS ON HUNDRED!), that the transmission is in emergency operation. The exit from an automatic mode is made, its repeated activation is impossible, and function of especially slow movement деактивирована.

To provide possibility of continuation of movement, it is possible to include the 1st, 2nd or 3rd transfers, the situation "N", and also backing transfer. Immediately address on HUNDRED "Mercedes-Benzs" for transmission check.

If on the situation check point indicator in addition there is «F», the system distinguished serious malfunction. Immediately address on HUNDRED "Mercedes-Benzs" for transmission check.

Automatic transmission

Separate transfers join automatically depending on:

· positions of the lever of the AT selector with ranges of switching 4, 3, 2 and 1
· the chosen program of switching (W/S)
· provision of a pedal of an accelerator
· speeds of movement.

The gear shifting mechanism automatically adapts for individual style of driving of the driver by shift of points of gear shifting.

Shift of points of gear shifting represents the continuous process which is constantly considering an instant operational condition and a condition of movement, and also desire of the driver.

Automatic transmission reacts to the changed service conditions adapted by the gear shifting program.

Switching of the lever of the AT selector possibly in situation 2 locks of ignition. For moving of the lever of the AT selector it is necessary to squeeze out a working brake of the situation "R" in addition.

Troganiye from a place

Press a working brake for release of the lever of the AT selector. Release the parking brake.

Switch the AT selector lever at operation of the engine idling in one of movement provisions. Wait complete inclusion of transfer, in particular at the cold engine. It proves to be true easy breakthrough.

Release a working brake and press an accelerator pedal.

Switchings on higher transfer after start of the cold engine

After start of the cold engine gear shifting is made at higher number of turns of the engine, than switching at working temperature.

Thus, the catalytic converter reaches the working temperature earlier.

Provision of a pedal of an accelerator

By easy pressing a pedal of an accelerator early switching on higher transfer is made.

"Kik-Down" — pressing of a pedal of an accelerator with overcoming of a point of resistance causes the maximum acceleration and switching on the lowest possible transfer.

At achievement of desirable speed release an accelerator pedal — again there is a switching on higher transfer.

Car stop

Leave the selector lever in the provision of movement "D" or "R" and by means of the working or parking brake insure the car from advance, and on lifting — from an otkatyvaniye back.

2 — Included position of the lever of the AT selector or a switching range

Switching on higher and lower transfer is made by strong pressing of a pedal of an accelerator on lower speeds of movement and lower number of turns of the engine, than in the program "S".

In the provision "kik-Down" of a pedal of an accelerator switching on higher and lower transfer is made as in the program "S".

Emergency operation

If during movement transmission any more does not give in to switching and keeps and under the changed service conditions the included transfer, transmission is in emergency operation.

For possibility of further movement the 2nd transfer or the 2nd transfer of a backing can be included. Sequence of actions thus the following:

Stop the car.

Transfer the AT selector lever to the situation "R".

Key in the lock of ignition turn in situation 0.

Wait not Maine for 10 seconds.

Start the engine.

the 2nd transfer is included.

The lever of the AT selector transfer to the situation "R":

Immediately address on HUNDRED "Mercedes-Benzs" for transmission check.

Parking brake

Raising of the parking brake: strongly press a pedal of the parking brake. The parking brake will tighten.

On a control panel at the tightened parking brake the control lamp of brake system lights up.

Otpuskaniye: pull the handle on itself. The parking brake is released instantly — the car can get under way at once from a place.

The control lamp of brake system on a control panel dies away at the working engine.

Recommendations about driving

Management pedals

At all do not limit freedom of management to pedals. In space for feet of the driver there should be no subjects. When using rugs for feet or carpets it is necessary to provide a sufficient empty seat and their reliable fixing.

Movement and parking

During movement or at a parking watch that elements of system of release of OG did not adjoin to an inflammable material.

Engine warming up to working temperature

After a troganiye from a place quickly warm up the engine to working temperature. Only after that it is possible to lead up its loading to full capacity.

Troganiye from a place

Troganiye from a place on slippery soil: Surely avoid a long prokruchivaniye of one of driving wheels. It can lead to transmission damage.

Steering

At the idle engine the hydraulic booster of a steering does not act. Thus for management it is required the bigger effort is considerable.

Brakes

The hydraulic booster of a working brake works only at the switched-on engine. It is necessary to consider that at the idle engine for braking it is required the bigger effort is considerable.

On long and abrupt descents it is recommended to unload brakes transmission switching on lower transfer — include ranges of switching 3, 2 or 1.

Thus the overheat of brakes is prevented and wear of brake shoes decreases.

After raised load of brakes it is recommended to put the car on parking not at once, and at first some time to continue movement quicker to cool brakes with a counter flow of air.

If you long time moved to a heavy rain without braking, can happen that at the first braking there will be some delay, and you should press a brake with bigger force. Therefore observe big, than usually, a distance to cars moving ahead of you.

In order to avoid corrosion on brake disks before putting the car on parking after movement on the wet road, especially if it was strewed with defreezing means, strongly press a brake to dry brake disks by heating.

Working brake

At rather low operational loads of brake system from time to time it is necessary to be convinced of its efficiency by short strong braking on higher speed. Thereby brake shoes are earned extra.

Watch that as a result of braking other participants of movement were not endangered!

Consider a principle of operation of the amplifier of emergency braking of Brake Assist (BAS) (see below).

If the control lamp of brake system lights up at the released parking brake — address to the Section Precautionary alarm and control lamps, and also messages of the information display on the registered malfunctions.

Establish the corresponding brake shoes! Address to the section Acquisition of spare parts.

Shutdown of supply of fuel in a mode of compulsory idling

In a mode of compulsory idling supply of fuel interrupts, if the pedal of an accelerator is completely released.

Violations of operation of the engine

At unstable operation of the engine (for example, in case of ignition admissions) not burned down fuel can get to the catalytic converter and cause in it thermal damages.

In case of admissions of ignition, only short-term operation of the engine is allowed at small loading (on small turns).

It is necessary to eliminate malfunction immediately on HUNDRED "Mercedes-Benzs".

Hydroplaning

Depending on a water level on the road, despite sufficient height of drawing of a protector of tires and low speed of movement, there can be an effect of hydroplaning. At a rain it is necessary to brake carefully and to avoid movement in a track.

Coupling of tires with the road

While on the dry road the car at a certain speed completely gives in to management, at movement on the wet or ice-covered road speed of movement is necessary for reducing respectively to reach the same degree of traffic safety.

Already at the temperatures close to a freezing point, it is necessary to watch closely a paving condition especially.

If on the road ice was formed (for example, owing to a fog), when braking on ice the thin water film considerably reducing factor of coupling of tires with the road is quickly formed. At such weather observe extra care.

During the winter period it is recommended to use type M tires + S (with a protector for movement on dirty and snow-covered roads). At ice and on slippery snow they can reduce a brake way in comparison with tires with summer drawing of a protector.

Tires

Surely observe the ordered pressure of air in tires.

It is especially important concerning the tires maintained in extreme modes, for example, at high speed, a full load and at high temperatures of external air.

Do not allow strong wear of tires. At height of drawing of a protector less than 3 mm the factor of coupling of tires with the wet road sharply decreases.

The factor of coupling of tires with the road considerably changes depending on weather or a paving condition.

Trips abroad

The network HUNDRED "Mercedes-Benzs" is available and abroad. The corresponding lists HUNDRED "Mercedes-Benzs" it is possible to request on any HUNDRED "Mercedes-Benzs".

In some countries only nizkooktanovy fuel is on sale.

In the countries with the order of movement different from an order of movement in the country of the admission of the car to operation, it is necessary to switch headlights to a symmetric passing beam or partially to stick them.

Thus dazzle of counter cars decreases.

Operation during the winter period

Before approach of winter prepare the car for operation during the winter period.

Replace impellent oil: if the oil which has not been allowed to application for operation during the winter period is filled.

Check concentration of antifreeze with anticorrosive additives.

Stekloomyvatel and faroochistitel

Add to water a detergent concentrate (address to Specifications of Head Routine maintenance).

Control of the storage battery

At decrease in temperature the capacity of the storage battery falls. Only well charged storage battery provides reliable start of the engine and at low temperatures.

Tires

In the winter we recommend to apply on all wheels of the tire M + S (with a protector to movement on dirty and snow-covered roads). Thus it is necessary to observe the maximum speed of movement for tires M + S, and also the maximum speed limited to traffic regulations!

At a troganiye from a place with antisliding chains shutdown of function of protivozanosny system ESP (see below in this Section) can play a positive role.

Recommendations about driving in ice

The most important rule at movement in ice:

Move carefully, avoid sharp acceleration, braking and maneuvering at management.

At threat of drift of the car or in case at low speed of movement the car cannot be stopped, switch off coupling or transfer the selector lever automatic transmission to the situation "N".

By means of a wheel try to keep the car under control.

Defreezing means applied on roads can make negative impact on brake action. Therefore for achievement of habitual brake action the bigger effort can be demanded.

In this regard it is recommended at long movement on the roads covered with defreezing means repeatedly to press a brake pedal. By it the brake action reduced by defreezing means can be again normalized.

Watch that as a result of braking not to endanger other participants of movement!

If after movement on the roads strewed with defreezing means the car was put on parking, before continuation of a trip it is necessary to check at once, whenever possible, brake action, observing due care. At appreciable decrease in efficiency of braking it is possible to restore it by means of repeated squeezing of a pedal of a brake.

Antisliding chains

Apply only tested and allowed «MB» of a chain of antisliding.

Installation of chains of antisliding is authorized only on certain combinations of wheels and tires. (More detailed instructions are provided in Specifications).

Impose antisliding chains only on back wheels (the leading bridge). Observe the instruction of the manufacturer on installation.
The maximum speed of movement (50 km/h) is allowed only at movement on snow.

On not snow-covered road of a chain of antisliding it is necessary to remove at once whenever possible.

(Recommendations about driving are provided in ice above).

At application of chains of antisliding function of protivozanosny system ESP can be disconnected (see below).

Trailer towage

It is necessary to observe strictly the instruction on traction coupling device installation with a demountable spherical head.

At operation with the trailer it is necessary to consider that dynamic properties thus considerably differ from dynamic properties of the car without the trailer.

The structure with the trailer is heavier, has limited ability to dispersal and overcoming of liftings and longer brake way. It reacts to rushes of a lateral wind, etc. more sensitively and demands more careful driving.

Fuel consumption at car operation with the trailer naturally raises.

When loading the trailer watch that the full standard mass of the trailer and the allowed mass of cargo towed by the car together with (Specification) traction coupling device were not exceeded.

Allowed values are specified in passports of the car and on factory plates of the traction coupling device and the trailer.

The lowest value is valid.

Besides, the permissible load дышла the trailer on a spherical head of the traction coupling device should not be exceeded.

The maximum basic loading is specified in Specifications or on the pasted plate. It should not exceed the value specified on factory plates of the traction coupling device and the trailer.

We recommend to use the maximum basic loading on дышло the trailer, and not less than 50 kg.

According to basic loading it is necessary to reduce mass of cargo in the car in order to avoid excess of allowed load of the back bridge.

It is recommended not to exceed the maximum speed of 80 km/h, including and in the countries in which higher speed is authorized.

It is necessary to avoid, whenever possible, sharp braking and at first slightly to brake for the purpose of a trailer nakatyvaniye on the tractor. Then smoothly increase brake effort.

If the trailer starts to wag, it is necessary to reduce speed of movement, not to turn a wheel against drift, and in case of need, brake. Do not try to "extend" at all structure increase of speed of movement.

The values of ability of overcoming of lifting given in Specifications at a troganiye from a place belong to a sea level. At movement in mountains it is necessary to remember that with increase in height engine capacity and, therefore, ability of overcoming of lifting decreases at a troganiye from a place.

Tempostat

Tempostat automatically supports the set speed of movement.

By the switch lever темпостата on a column of a steering can be chosen and activated темпостат or the adjustable limiter of speed.

Indication of the chosen system, темпостата or the adjustable limiter of speed, is made by the LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата:

· Tempostat:
the LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата does not burn.
· Adjustable limiter of speed: the LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата burns — address to subsection «Adjustable limiter of speed».

Tempostat is chosen, if the LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата is switched off.

The adjustable limiter of speed is chosen, if the LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата burns.

Record in memory of any speed above 32 km/h on petrol models and 40 km/h – on diesel is possible.

Switching from the adjustable limiter of speed on темпостат. The LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата should be switched off. If necessary the switch lever темпостата press in the direction-5-.

Gain desirable speed of movement, having pressed an accelerator pedal.

Slightly press the switch lever темпостата in the direction-1-or-2-. Speed is written down in memory.

The speed entered into memory is displayed on the information display, and on a speedometer segments from the speed entered into memory to the maximum speed of movement light up.

Release an accelerator pedal.

Exact installation by steps to 1 km/h

Increase of speed — the switch lever темпостата slightly press in the direction-1-.

Decrease in speed — the switch lever темпостата slightly press in the direction-2-.

Call of the entered speed from memory

Slightly press the switch lever in the direction-4-.

The remembered speed of movement choose only if the driver well remembers it and it again intends to cause from memory.

Switching off:

The switch lever темпостата quickly press in the direction-3-or-5-, speed remains in memory.

By pressing in the direction-5-the LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата lights up — the adjustable limiter of speed is chosen.

Tempostat also is switched off by pressing a pedal of a brake, couplings more than 4 seconds, or transfer of the lever of the AT selector during movement in the situation "N".

After overcoming of such site the remembered speed and transmission is automatically established comes back to former situation.

If speed of movement of the car decreases in pressing of the lever of the switch темпостата in the direction-2-, at insufficient decrease in speed transmission switching on the 4th or 3rd transfer is made.

For short-term increase of speed of movement (e.g., for overtaking) — press an accelerator pedal. If the pedal of an accelerator is again released, the remembered speed is again established.

Use темпостат only if road conditions allow uniform speed of movement.

Remarks for models with RKPP and from Sequentronic automated by a check point in a manual mode

After transfer switching slightly press an accelerator pedal. Smoothness of switching thus raises.
After an otpuskaniye of a pedal of an accelerator the set speed again is established.

If the gear shifting coulisse after squeezing of a pedal of coupling is in neutral situation, probably short-term increase of turns of the engine.

Move always with sufficient, but not exceeded turns of the engine - in due time switch transfers. At gear shifting темпостат it is not switched off. Avoid switching on lower transfer with a pereskakivaniye through some transfers. If at gear shifting the pedal of coupling was squeezed out more than on 4 seconds, темпостат is switched off.

Remarks for models from Sequentronic automated by a check point in an automatic mode or with AT:

If speed of movement of the car decreases in pressing of the lever of the switch темпостата in the direction-2-, at insufficient decrease in speed transmission switching on the 4th or 3rd transfer is made.

Switching/activation

Start the engine.

At the working engine probably restriction of any speed is higher than 30 km/h.

Switching with темпостата on the adjustable limiter of speed.

The LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата should burn. If necessary the switch lever темпостата press in the direction-5-.

Slightly press the switch lever in the direction (1, 2 or 4).

The adjustable limiter of speed is activated.

The established limit of speed is displayed on the information display, and on a speedometer LIM indication lights up.

Direction-1-

Speed of movement is remembered as a new limit of speed; the rounding off to the following higher ten is thus made. The further easy pressing or a continence of the lever makes increase of the established limit of speed.

Direction-2-

Speed of movement is remembered as a new limit of speed; the curve to the following lower ten is thus made. The further easy pressing or a continence of the lever makes decrease in the established limit of speed.

Direction-4-

The last limit of speed brought in memory is activated, if speed of movement exceeds a limit no more, than on 30 km/h.

The further easy pressing or deduction of the lever makes increase of the established limit of speed by steps on 1 km/h.

Deaktivirovaniye

Slightly press the switch lever in the direction-3-or press in the direction-5-.

On a speedometer all segments are shone.

By pressing in the direction-5-the LIM indicator on the switch lever темпостата dies away.

The limiter of speed деактивируется as well in case in the provision of a pedal of an accelerator "kik-Down" speed of movement differs from in advance established speed no more, than on 20 km/h.

The unit of measure of indication of speed of movement can be chosen in the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER menu system (CONTROL PANEL) «Individual installation», in the DISPLAY VALUES IN installation menu (VALUES ON the DISPLAY B) (Undressed the Multipurpose steering wheel, the universal display).

If in the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER menu (CONTROL PANEL) and «VEHICLE» (CAR) of system «Individual installation» are caused by the DISPLAY VALUES IN installation menu (VALUES ON the DISPLAY B) and «SPEED LIMIT» (WINTER TYRES), (RESTRICTION of SPEED – WINTER TYRES), the adjustable limiter of speed cannot be activated.

If the limiter of speed cannot hold the set speed (for example, on descents), is distributed the sound signal and on the universal display appears «LIMIT EXCEEDED» (SPEED LIMIT is EXCEEDED). LIM indication on a speedometer in addition blinks.

At malfunction of the adjustable limiter of speed — address to the subsection "Speedtronic", Undressed Precautionary alarm and control lamps, and also messages of the information display on the registered malfunctions).

Constant limiter of speed (Only Germany)

The constant limiter of speed can be established in the VEHICLE menu (CAR) of system «Individual installation» on certain values (for example, at car operation with tires with winter drawing of a protector) in the menu of the SPEED LIMIT installation (WINTER TYRES), (RESTRICTION of SPEED - TYRES WITH WINTER DRAWING of the PROTECTOR) (Undressed the Multipurpose steering wheel, the universal display).

Shortly before achievement of the established limit of speed its value is displayed on the universal display. LIM indication on a speedometer in addition lights up.

The established constant limit of speed cannot be exceeded by a way of squeezing of a pedal of an accelerator with overcoming of a point of resistance. At models with automatic transmission it corresponds to the provision of a pedal of an accelerator "kik-Down".

Amplifier of emergency braking (BAS) (Brake Assist)

The amplifier of emergency braking of Brake Assist helps you to reduce a brake way when braking in dangerous road situations. He allows to use completely advantages of system of anti-blocking of brakes (ABS).

By sharp pressing of a brake pedal it provides the maximum accumulation of brake effort. For achievement whenever possible the minimum brake way do not reduce effort of a foot, and continue to press a brake pedal.

At an otpuskaniye of a pedal of a brake the amplifier is switched off; working brakes are used.

System of anti-blocking of brakes (ABS)

If the key in the switch of ignition is in situation 2, the control lamp of ABS system burns. It dies away at the working engine.

If the control lamp of ABS system on a control panel at the working engine constantly burns - see. The section Precautionary alarm and control lamps, and also messages of the information display on the registered malfunctions.

The ABS system prevents blocking of wheels irrespective of a road condition, since the speed about 8 km/h.

If turns of one of wheels when braking deviate turns of the others, ABS begins management of brake pressure, vibration of the car and an easy pulsation of a brake pedal is thus felt. Thus the driver is notified on ABS work.

In need of further braking do not reduce effort of a foot to a pedal. Thus advantage of ABS system - braking at preservation of controllability of the car is used.

If complete braking is required, a pedal of a brake squeeze out with full force, the regulation mode by means of ABS system thereby is provided.

On the slippery road, at ice and snowfall, the system can already work at low effort of braking. The pulsation of a brake pedal arising thus specifies that style of driving should be changed respectively difficult to road conditions.

Electronic protivozanosny system (ESP)

The electronic system ESP increases stability of movement of the car and ability of transfer of traction effort at all operating modes.

If the key in the switch of ignition is in situation 2, on a speedometer the precautionary alarm lamp burns. It dies away at the working engine.

At the expense of a pritormazhivaniye of wheels and restriction of a torque of the engine counteraction to drift or insufficient controllability of the car is created. The precautionary alarm lamp on a speedometer thus blinks.

If the key in the lock of ignition is in situation 2, on a speedometer the precautionary alarm lamp burns. It dies away at the working engine.

Switching off, inclusion of function of protivozanosny system ESP

The switch is on the average console.

Press the switch:

1 Switching off
2 Inclusion

Switching off

The switch of ESP system press above (1).

The precautionary alarm lamp on a speedometer lights up.

At car operation with antisliding chains, on deep snow, sand or gravel switching off of function of protivozanosny system can play a positive role at a troganiye from a place or during movement. In this case the torque of the engine is not limited and driving wheels can be scrolled, creating milling action.

Function of management by traction effort joins also at achievement by one driving wheel of a limit of coupling of the tire from darling for example, at unilateral ice. For prevention of a prokruchivaniye of this wheel it is braked until the traction effort will not be reached sufficiently. This function of management by traction effort joins at speed approximately to 40 km/h. It is disconnected the latest at speed of movement about 80 km/h.

The precautionary alarm lamp on a speedometer starts to blink on any speed of movement if tires reached a limit of coupling with the road.

Inclusion

For return to a normal mode of movement press the ESP (2) system switch. The precautionary alarm lamp on a speedometer dies away also function of protivozanosny system again in a condition of operational readiness.

When using wheels with tires of the various sizes appropriate functioning of ESP system is not provided.

If the system of anti-blocking of brakes (ABS) is faulty, the electronic protivozanosny system (ESP) and the amplifier of emergency braking (BAS) also are switched off.

At malfunction of electronic protivozanosny system - see. «System of the notification and the alarm system of malfunctions» (Undressed Precautionary alarm and control lamps, and also messages of the information display on the registered malfunctions).

Parktronic (PTS) system

The Parktronic system visually and acoustically warns about dangerous distance between your car and an obstacle.

If the key in the lock of ignition turns in situation 2, the Parktronic system automatically joins and remains about 15 km/h activated till the speed.

At higher speed the Parktronic system is automatically switched off. At low speed it automatically again joins.

Activation of signaling devices with the corresponding zone of control is made depending on position of the lever of the selector of automatic transmission.

Position of the lever of the AT selector

«D» are activated signaling devices of a forward zone.
«R», are activated by "N" signaling devices of forward and back zones.
"R" signaling devices деактивированы.

Positions of the lever of Sequentronic automated by a check point:

«G», «A», are activated by "N" signaling devices of a forward zone.
«R» are activated signaling devices of forward and back zones.

Position of the coulisse of RKPP:

Except a backing: signaling devices for a forward zone are activated;

Backing: signaling devices for forward and back zones are activated.

The Parktronic system can be switched off by means of the switch on the average console.

Signaling devices

Signaling devices for a forward zone are represented.

1 Left side of the car
2 Right side of the car
3 Framework
4 Segments

Signaling devices of a forward zone are on the dashboard over the average ventilating deflector.

Signaling devices of a back zone are on a covering of a ceiling of a roof in a back part of salon.

If the system of "Parktronic" is included, on signaling devices a framework (3) is shone.

The distance between the sensor and an obstacle is displayed by segments (4) signaling devices.

Signaling devices are subdivided on 6 yellow and 2 red segments.

If the car comes nearer to the obstacle registered by sensors, depending on distance one or several segments light up.

Since the seventh segment it is in addition distributed faltering, and from the eighth segment - a continuous warning sound signal within at most 3 seconds.

Sensors

Control of the next zone is made by 6 sensors-1-on a front bumper and 4 sensors on a rear bumper.

Radius of operation of sensors

Front bumper: in the middle of about 100 about 60 cm are swarty

Rear bumper: in the middle of about 120 about 80 cm are swarty

At these distances the first yellow segment lights up. At reduction of distance other segments light up.

The minimum distance between the sensor and an obstacle:

forward corners about 15 cm

in the middle of about 20 cm

All yellow segments and one or both red segments are shone. In addition approximately for 3 seconds the warning sound signal is distributed.

Further approach can lead to that the obstacle will not be displayed any more (segments do not light up).

At a parking it is necessary to give particular attention to the subjects being below or above sensors, such, for example, as curbstones for flowers or дышло the trailer.

The similar subjects being in close proximity (about 30 cm), can be not always identified by system and can be thus damaged or will lead to car damage.

Function of Parktronic system can be broken, if sensors are damaged or covered with dirt, snow, ice and especially snezhury.

The hindrances arising at the expense of other sources of ultrasound, for example, of a pneumatic brake of lorries or pneumatic hammers also cannot be completely excluded.

It is possible that certain subjects which can touch a lobby or a back part of the car, will not be identified by system sensors.

Parktronic system switching off

The switch is on the average console.

Press the switch:

1 Switching off
2 Inclusion
3 Control light-emitting diode — burns at the switched-off Parktronic system

Inclusion occurs automatically if the key in the lock of ignition turns in situation 2.

Trailer towage

If at trailer towage the feeding cable is inserted into a plug receptacle, function of protection of a back part of a body is not activated.

If the feeding cable is disconnected, function of protection of a back part of a body is again activated.

Malfunction of Parktronic system

At malfunction only red segments of all signaling devices light up.

The extraneous source of ultrasound or the polluted sensor can be the reason.

(Cleaning of sensors of Parktronic system on bumpers — address to Head the Suspension bracket and a steering).

After cleaning of sensors a key in the ignition lock again turn in situation 2.

At malfunction in addition within about 3 seconds the warning sound signal is distributed, and the control light-emitting diode on the Parktronic system switch on the average console lights up. The system is switched off!
