Fuel system messages
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 3 76 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.
To reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven, refer
to " Vehicle shutdown " 3 109.Trip computer
The trip computer provides
information on driving data, which is
continually recorded and evaluated electronically.
Depending on version, the following
functions may be selected by
pressing TRIP repeatedly on the end
of the wiper lever:
Standard version ● outside temperature
● average consumption
● instantaneous consumption
● range
● distance travelled
● average speed
● travel time (driving time)
Multifunction version
Two trip odometers, Trip A and Trip
B, are available for selection and are
recorded separately.
The information of the two trip
computers can be reset separately,
making it possible to display different
trip distances.
Trip A ● outside temperature
● average consumption
● instantaneous consumption
● range
● distance travelled
● average speed
● travel time (driving time)
Trip B ● average consumption
● distance travelled

Trip B can be deactivated via the
Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 85.
Reset trip computer information
To reset the trip computer, select one
of its functions, then press and hold
TRIP for a few seconds.
The following trip computer
information will be reset:
● average consumption
● distance travelled
● average speed
● travel time (driving time)
The trip computer will reset
automatically when the maximum
value of any of the parameters is
exceeded.
Outside temperature The temperature outside the vehicle
is displayed.
Outside temperature 3 67, 3 85.
Average consumption Average consumption is displayed,taking into consideration the distance
travelled and the fuel used since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Instantaneous consumption
Display of the instantaneous fuel
consumption.
_ _ _ _ will appear in the display if the
vehicle is left parked with the engine
running for a long time.Range
The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.
When the range is less than 30 miles ,
_ _ _ _ will appear in the display.
After refuelling, the range is updated
automatically after a brief delay.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Notice
The range will not be displayed if the
vehicle is left parked with the engine
running for a long time.
Distance travelled
Displays the distance driven since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Average speed The average speed since the last
reset is displayed.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.

Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:

Heated front seats ß 3 37.
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.

106Climate controlMaintenanceAir intake
The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
Air conditioning regular
operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when outside
temperature is too low.
ServiceFor optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended that the climate control system be checked annually, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check

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.
