Cooling n
Press n to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by the LED in
the button. Cooling is only functional
when the engine is running and
climate control fan is switched on.
Press n again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Air recirculation system Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. Activation is indicated by the
LED in the button.
Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up. The quality
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air
conditions, the windscreen may mist
up from outside, when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and deactivate V.
Maximum cooling Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
● Cooling n on.
● Air recirculation system 4 on.
● Set air distribution control to M.
● Set temperature control to coldest level.

Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 110.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.
Page 110 of 189
108Driving and operatingCaution
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is
stationary, as this may damage
the power steering pump.
Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging the
battery.

Driving and operating109Starting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake.
Manual transmission automated: operate brake, the transmission
automatically shifts to N (neutral)
Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Diesel engine: turn the key to position1 for preheating until control
indicator ! extinguishes.
Turn the key briefly to position 2 and release.
Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn the key back to position
0.
Autostop
During an Autostop, the engine is
restarted automatically by depressing
the clutch pedal.
Vehicles with manual transmission
automated (MTA): Shift to a forward
gear, release brake pedal or move
lever to +, – or R to enable an
automatic restart.
Stop-start system 3 110.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged battery.
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.Vehicle shutdown
Fuel cut-off system In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.
Control indicator 9 illuminates if the
fuel cut-off switch is triggered and, depending on version, a
corresponding warning message may
also appear in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 85.
Generic warning control indicator 9
3 76.
Notice
In addition, the vehicle is
automatically unlocked and the
hazard warning flashers and interior lights are illuminated.
Turn the ignition key to position 0 to
prevent battery discharge and seek
the assistance of a workshop
immediately. Have the vehicle
checked for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment, beneath the vehicle
and near the fuel tank.
