Example: multifunction lever
BlueTec
®
vehicles without a retarder are equip-
ped with three brake levels (
1
-
3
) and vehi-
cles without BlueTec
®
exhaust gas aftertreat-
ment with two brake levels (
1
-
2
).
If the ignition lock is switched to drive position
and the
Ã
indicator lamp flashes in the
instrument cluster, the multifunction lever is not
in position
g
.
X
To switch on: pull the multifunction lever to
the desired brake level.
The
Ã
indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.
The braking effect of the continuous brake is
lowest in position
1
and highest in position
5
.
X
To switch off: push the multifunction lever to
position
g
.
The
Ã
indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster goes out.
When ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) inter-
venes, the continuous brake is switched off. The
Ã
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
remains on.
Engine brake
The effectiveness of the engine brake depends
on the engine speed. A high engine speed
results in more effective engine braking.
Observe the effective engine braking range
At very low outside temperatures, the engine
brake has limited or no effect after the engine
has been started.
Retarder
If the
Ã
indicator lamp flashes in the instru-
ment cluster, the retarder's braking power is
reduced.
X
Shift down in good time.
The engine braking effect and the engine cool-
ing effect are increased.

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If there is a loss of pressure or insufficient
reservoir pressure in the transmission/clutch
circuit, you can no longer shift gears. There is
a risk of an accident.
Do not pull away, or stop the vehicle as soon
as possible, paying attention to road and traf-
fic conditions. Secure the vehicle against roll-
ing away, e.g. with the parking brake. Have
the compressed-air system repaired at a
qualified specialist workshop.
!
Observe the following notes. You could oth-
erwise damage the transmission, the engine
or the clutch:
R
do not drive with an engine speed that is
too high or too low.
R
only engage reverse gear with the engine at
idling speed and the vehicle stationary.
R
when changing gear, make sure that the
engine speed does not enter the red over-
revving range in the rev counter.
R
release the gear lever when you have fin-
ished changing gear. Do not rest your hand
or arm on the gear lever.
R
if a warning tone sounds when downshift-
ing, the maximum permissible engine
speed has been exceeded. Shift to a higher
gear, not a lower gear. The power-assisted
gearshift is deactivated to protect the
transmission synchronisation. As a result,
more force is required when shifting gear.
The engine has delayed throttle response if:
R
the vehicle is stationary
R
the engine is running
R
the transmission is in neutral.
