STARTING AND DRIVING
Settings for level control*
Switch off the level control when the car is to
be jacked up in order to prevent problems
with automatic regulation.
Settings in the centre display
Disable Leveling Control
In certain cases the function must be deacti-
vated e.g. before the car is raised with a jack*.
The difference in level created when lifting
with a jack would otherwise mean the auto-
matic control starting to adjust the height, cre-
ating an undesired effect.
Deactivating the function via the centre dis-
play:
1. Press Settings in the top view.
2. Press My Car Parking Brake and
Suspension.
3. Select Disable Leveling Control

Economical driving
Drive economically and in a more eco-friendly
way by driving gently and anticipating situa-
tions.
Adapt your driving style and speed to the pre-
vailing situation.
Note the following:
For lower fuel consumption, activate
•
drive mode.
Use the Eco Coast freewheel function in
•
Eco drive mode – engine braking ceases,
meaning that the car's kinetic energy is
used to freewheel for longer distances
When driving with manual gear changing
•
– drive in the highest gear possible, adap-
ted to the current traffic situation and road
– lower engine speeds result in lower fuel
consumption. Use the gear shift indicator.
. Drive at a steady speed and keep a good
•
distance to other vehicles and objects to
minimise braking.
High speed results in increased fuel con-
•
sumption - the wind resistance increases
with speed.
Trip computer indication for instantaneous
•
fuel consumption can be helpful for driving
more economically.
Do not run the engine to operating tem-
•
perature at idling speed, but rather drive
with a normal load right after starting – a
cold engine consumes more fuel than a
warm one.
If possible, avoid using the car for driving
•
short distances. The engine does not have
time to reach normal operating tempera-
ture, which contributes to increased fuel
Eco
consumption.
Use engine braking to slow down, when it
•
can take place without risk to other road
users.
17 .
Drive with the correct air pressure in the
•
tyres and check this regularly - select ECO
tyre pressure for best results.
Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-
•
tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from a
retailer.
Remove unnecessary items from the car -
•
the greater the load the higher the con-
sumption.
A roof load and space box increase wind
•
resistance, leading to higher consumption
- remove the load carriers when not in use.
Avoid driving with open windows.
