� Switching air recirculation on/off
The air recirculation mode can be switched on
manually or automatically*.
- To switch the manual air recirculation mode on/
off, press the G;J button.
- The automatic* air recirculation function must
be activated on the infotainment system. Se­
lect the following on the infotainment system:
I MENU I
button > Car > Left control button > Ve­
hicle settings > A/C > Auto recirculation. The
air quality sensor, which is designed for the de­
tec tion of diesel and petrol exhaust fumes, au­
tomatically switches the air recirculation mode
on or off depending on the Level of pollution in
the outside air.
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interior
of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the in­
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir­
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or
in traffic
queues ¢ A.
The air recirculation mode is switched off when
the G;J or I AUTO
I or I

AX
I button is pressed.
Iii) MAXI Switching
the defroster on/off
The windscreen and side windows are defrosted
or demisted as quickly as possible. Most of the
air comes out of the outlets below the wind­
screen. The air recirculation mode is deactivated.
The temperature is regulated automatically.
The defroster is switched off when the !AUTO!
button is pressed.

Switching the rear window heating
on/off
If rear window heating is activated with the igni­
tion switched on, the battery management deter­
mines whether or not the battery charge Level is
sufficient for the rear window heating to be
switched on. Otherwise the rear window heating
operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about
56 10
-20 minutes, depending on the outside tem­
perature.
To switch on the rear window heating permanent­
ly, press and hold the Imo RE A
R! button for at Least
two seconds. This setting will be stored for ap­
proximately 15 minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
A WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not Leave the
air recirculation switched on for too Long. This
mode prevents fresh air from entering the ve­
hicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can cause
an accident.

Start/stop system
Description
Applies to vehicles: with start/stop system
The start/stop system can help to save fuel and
reduce CO2 emissions. Driving
In start/stop mode, the engine is switched off
automatically when the vehicle stops, e.g. at traf­
fic lights. The ignition remains on during this
stop phase. The engine is automatically started
on demand.
The start/stop system is automatically activated
each time you switch on the ignition.
Basic conditions for start/stop mode
- The driver's door must be closed.
- The driver's seat belt must be buckled.
- The bonnet must be closed.
- The vehicle must have been moving at over
4 km/h since the last stop .
.&, WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary . Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and power
steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor­
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal man­
ner.
-Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine
or use power-operated equipment such as
the electric windows -this could lead to in­
juries.
- To avoid injury, make sure that the start/
stop system is switched off before working
in the engine compartment ¢ page 65.
CD CAUTION
Always switch off the start/stop system
¢page 65 before driving through water.

106 Power
management
This system helps to ensure reliable
starting
The power management controls the distribu­
tion of electrical energy and thus helps to ensure
that
there
is always enough power available to
start the engine.
If a vehicle with a conventional electrical system
is left parked for a long time, the battery will
gradually lose its charge because certain electri­
cal equipment (such as the immobiliser) contin­
ues to draw current even when the ignition is off.
In some cases there may not be enough power
available to start the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent pow­
er management system to control the distribu­
tion of electrical energy. This significantly im­
proves reliability when starting the engine, and
also prolongs the life of the battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis, re­
sidual current management and dynamic power
management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly regis­
ters the condition of the battery. Sensors detect
the battery voltage, battery current and battery
temperature. This enables the system to calcu­
late the current power level and charge condition
of the battery.
Residual current management
The residual current management reduces power
consumption while the vehicle is parked. It con­
trols the supply of power to the various electrical
components while the ignition is switched off.
The system takes the battery diagnosis data into
consideration.
Depending on the power level of the battery, the
individual electrical components are switched off
one after the other to prevent the battery from
losing too much charge and to ensure that the
engine can be started reliably.

.... Dynamic
power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib­
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re­
quirements. The power management ensures
that on-board systems do not consume more
electrical power than the alternator can supply,
and thus maintains the maximum possible bat­
tery power Level.
ijJ Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical Limits.
Please remember that the power and Life of
the battery are Limited.
- If the indicator Lamp ril c:> page 13 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Points to remember
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and Low temperatures all
place a heavy Load on the battery . In these condi­
tions a Large amount of power is consumed, but
only a small amount is supplied. The situation is
also critical if electrical equipment is in use when
the engine is not running. In this case power is
consumed when none is being generated.
In these situations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to con­
trol the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period. Certain convenience features, such
as remote control unlocking, may not be availa­
ble. These functions will be restored when you
switch on the ignition and start the engine. Intelligent
technology
With the engine switched off
If you Listen to the radio or use other electrical
equipment when the engine is not running, this
will discharge the battery.
A message will appear on the infotainment dis­
play before the battery power drops to a Level
where the starting ability is impaired.
This message warns you that the system you are
using will soon be switched off automatically.
You should therefore start the engine if you wish
to continue using the system.
When the engine is running
Although the alternator generates electrical pow­
er, the battery can still become discharged while
the vehicle is being driven. This can occur when a
Lot of power is being consumed but only a small
amount supplied, especially if the battery is not
fully charged initially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the sys­
tem will then temporarily shut off the electrical
components that are using a Lot of power, or re­
duce the current they are consuming. Heating
systems in particular use a Large amount of elec­
trical power. If you notice, for instance, that the
seat heating* or the rear window heater is not
working, they may have been temporarily switch­
ed off or regulated to a Lower heat output. These
systems will be available again as soon as suffi­
cient electrical power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed. This is quite normal,
and no cause for concern. The increased idling
speed allows the alternator to meet the greater
power requirement and charge the battery at the
same time.
Information saved in the
control units
The vehicle is fitted in the factory with electronic
control units that, among other things, control
the engine and the gearbox. The control units al­
so monitor the exhaust system and the airbags.
The control units continually analyse data rele-
vant to the vehicle while you are driving. In the
