Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the notes and the recommended settings in the vehicle Operator's Manual. The windowscould otherwise fog up.
Climate control regulates the temperature and air humidity in the vehicle interior. Due to the elec-
trical refrigerant compressor, the "Cooling with dehumidification" function is also operational with-out the combustion engine running. Optimum climate control is only achieved with the side windows
and roof closed.
The residual heat function can only be activated or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(
Ypage 17).
The "Pre-entry climate control" function is available. Use this function to briefly preheat or ventilate
the driver's seat area or the entire vehicle interior before entering the vehicle. The air from the air
vents can also be pre-cooled.

Manual gear shifting
Using the steering wheel paddleshifters, you
can temporar ilychange gears yourself. The
transmission must be inposition D. When you
activate manual gearshifting, the combustion
engine isautomatically switched on.
XTo activate: pullthe left or right steering
wheel paddle shifter.

Further information on manual gearshifting (see
the veh icleOperator's Manual).
ECO start/stop function
General notes
The ECO start/stop function switches the com-
bustion engine off automatically when the veh i-
cle stops moving and at speeds below 80 mph
(13 0km/ h)(
Ypage 24). All vehicle systems remain active, e.g. the auto-
matic climate control.
The ECO start/stop function is neither available
in the
Sport drive program nor during manual
shifting.
Automatic engine switch-off
The engine is switched off automatically, includ-
ing when:
Rthe driver removes his/her foot from the
accelerator in the Comfortdrive program and
a speed of 80 mph (130 km/h) is not excee-
ded (
Ypage 24)
Rthe engine has reached its operating temper- ature
Rthe driver’s seat belt is fastened and the
driver’s door is closed
Rthe driver only slightly depresses the accel-
erator pedal in order to, for example, maintain
the current speed for a limited distance
Rthe hood is closed and engaged properly
Rthe high-voltage battery is charged suffi-
ciently
Rno malfunctions are present in the hybrid
drive system
The internal combustion engine will not be
switched off automatically, if:
Rthe self-diagnosis function of the engine man-
agement is active
Rthere is a malfunction in the hybrid drive sys-
tem
Rthe climate control of the vehicle requires it
Rthe high-voltage battery is charging
(Ypage 40).
Automatic engine start
The automatically switched-off internal combus-
tion engine starts automatically in certain situa-
tions, if:
Rthe power demand from the driver via the
accelerator pedal is greater than the electric
motor alone can provide
Rthe driver switches to the Sportdrive pro-
gram or to manual gearshifting
Rthe condition of charge of the high-voltage
battery has reached the lower limit
Rthe driver has selected the CHARGE operating
mode

Coolant temperature gauge
GWARNING
Opening the hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is a fire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other service products. There is a risk of
injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is a fire in the
engine compartment, keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.
!A display message is shown if the coolant
temperature is too high.
If the coolant temperature is over 248 ‡
(120 †), do not continue driving. The engine
will otherwise be damaged.
The multifunction display shows the coolant
temperature in the Coolant
submenu.
Under normal operating conditions and with the
specified coolant level, the coolant temperature
may rise to 248 ‡ (120 †).
