You can place light articles of clothing on the rear window
shelf behind the seatback.
& WARNING
When driving , do n ot leave any hard objects on the rear window
s helf or a llow y our pet to sit on the shelf . They c ould be come a

[ i ] Tips
• A vent slot is located between the shelf and the rear window. Do
not block the vent with any items you may place on the rear window
shelf.
• Do not place bu lky items on the rear window shelf as they could
restr ict or block the driver's vis ion in the rear view mirror. •

& WARNING (continued)
when accelerating or when applying the brakes or when driving
around a corner.
• When you are driving make sure that anything you may have
placed in the center console or other storage locations cannot fall
out into the footwells. In case of sudden braking you would not be
able to brake or accelerate.
• Any articles of clothing that you have hung up must not inter­

Automatic operation ensures constant temperatures in the interior
and dehumidifies the air inside the veh icle . Air temperature, volume
and distribution are controlled automatica lly to reach or maintain the

ECON
The ECON mode helps to save fuel .
The air conditioning is turned off in ECON mode. "ECON" means
" E conomy". By switching off the air conditioning (compressor), you
save fuel.
Please note that vehicle interior temperature cannot be lower than
the outside temperature in the ECON mode. The air is not cooled or dehumidified .
If the vehicle inter ior becomes too hot or if the windows fog up, ECON
mode should be turned off. As soon as the
( AUTO] button in the air
conditioning controls is pressed, the system automatically leaves the
ECON mode, and the air conditioning compressor is turned on
again. •
Automatic recirculation mode
An air quality sensor detects increased concentrations of
pollutants in the outside air and automatically switches
to recirculation mode .
We recommend that you always keep automat ic air recirculat ion ON
to prevent polluted outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
If the
air quality sensor located in the air conditioning system detects
polluted outside air, the sensor decides whether the air pollution can
be reduced by the facto ry-insta lled pollutant fi lter or whe ther it is
necessary to switch to air recirculation. With heavy concentrations of
pollutants, the air conditioning system is switched a utomat ically to
recirculation mode and the supply of outside air is blocked . As soon .,.

- Move the selector lever into P or N
~ &.
- Turn the ignition key to position @~ fig. 132 -do not
depress the gas pedal when starting the engine.
A cold engine may sound loud after it has been started. This is due to
the hydraulic valves building up oil pressure. This is normal and is not
a need for concern.
If the engine does not start immediately, stop trying after 10 seconds
and then try to restart the engine about 30 seconds later .
& WARNING
Never start or let the engine run in a confined or enclosed area.
Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide , a color­
less and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can be fatal if inhaled.
• Never leave the engine idling unattended. An unattended
vehicle with a running engine poses a danger of personal injury or
theft .
0 Note
• Avoid high eng ine speeds, fast accelerat io n or heavy engine loads
wh ile the engine is still cold. This could damage the engine.
• The engine cannot be started by push ing or towing the vehicle.
~ For the sake of the environment
To avoid unnecessary engine wear and to reduce exhaust emissions,
do not let your vehicle stand and warm up. Be ready to drive off imme­
diately after starting your vehicle. Maintain moderate speed unti l the
engine is completely warm. Remember, the engine performs best at
operating temperature .•

& WARNING (continued)
• The brake booster and the servotronic only work when the

• For your safety, move the selector lever to the P position, then
turn off the engine. Otherwise the vehicle could inadvertently roll
away.
• After turning off the engine, the radiator fan can come on and
run for up to 10 minutes -even if the ignition is switched off. Like­

compartment raises due to heat build up or if you leave the vehicle
standing in direct sunlight.

After driving at high engine load, heat can build up in the engine
compartment after you have turned off the engine. This can damage
