8-4Climate controls
Even with air conditioning on, if
temperature rotary knob is set to
warm, the vehicle will still produce
warm air in the passenger
compartment.
To improve efficiency of the air
conditioning, always close the
windows, to prevent chilled air from
escaping.
In very high temperatures, before
starting the engine, allow hot air to
escape from the vehicle by opening
the windows and switching on the
fan.
When the air conditioning system is
switched on, open adjustable side air
vents so that the evaporator does not
ice up due to lack of air movement.
When cooling (air conditioning
compressor) is switched on,
condensation forms, which is
expelled from the underside of the
vehicle.
To ensure continuously efficient
performance and prolong the life of
the air conditioning system, it must be switched on for a few minutes once a
week, irrespective of the weather and
time of year.
Malfunctions in the system must not
be rectified by the owner: seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Maximum cooling
Open windows briefly and switch fan
on so that warm air can escape
rapidly.
„Press button n (or A/C)
(to switch on air conditioning
system).
„Activate air recirculation mode 4.„Set air distribution rotary knob to M.
„Turn temperature rotary knob all
the way to blue area for cooling.
„Set fan to 4.
Air vents
Centre air vents
The air flow can be directed as
desired by tilting the slats up, down
and sideways using the central
adjuster.
The air supply is increased by
switching on the fan.

9-10Driving and operating
Brake assist
Rapid powerful application of the
brake pedal automatically applies
maximum brake force amplification to
achieve the shortest possible braking
distance under full braking (brake
assist).
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal for as long as full-on
braking is to continue. When the
brake pedal is released, the
maximum brake force amplification is
taken away.
Ride control systems
Electronic Stability Program
(ESP®) 3
The Electronic Stability Program
improves driving stability when
necessary, independently of the type
of road surface and the tyre grip. It
also prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
The system monitors vehicle
movements. As soon as the vehicle
starts to swerve (understeers/
oversteers), engine output is reduced
(the sound of the engine changes)
and individual wheels are specifically
braked. This considerably improves
the driving stability of the vehicle on
snow and ice and on wet or slippery
road surfaces.
ESP
® is ready for operation as soon
as the ignition is switched on and the
control indicators
R, ESP and TCSS OFF extinguish.
When the ESP® comes into action,
control indicator
R flashes rapidly in
the instrument cluster. Some noise or
vibration may be apparent.ESP active control indicator 3 5-10.
Interruption of power supply
If the vehicle’s battery has been
disconnected and reconnected,
ESP
® is deactivated and control
indicator R flashes once per second.
Reactivate ESP® by driving in a
straight line at over 15 km/h (9 mph)
for a few seconds until flashing
ceases. Several seconds may lapse
before the control indicator
extinguishes, depending on road
conditions.
Caution
Do not let this special safety feature
tempt you into taking risks when
driving.
Traffic safety can only be achieved
by adopting a responsible driving
style.

9-11 Driving and operating
Fault
Control indicator
ESP illuminates
during driving if there is a fault with
ESP
®. Seek the assistance of a
workshop to have the cause of the
fault remedied.
ESP fault control indicator 3 5-10.
Traction Control Support
System (TCSS) 3
TCSS is a component part of the
Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)
which helps to maintain driving
stability and prevents the drive
wheels from spinning.
Switching off
With ESP® active, if wheels are stuck
in mud, sand or snow, TCSS can be
switched off when spinning of the
wheels is necessary.
Press button
TCSS OFF; control
indicator TCSS OFF illuminates in the
instrument cluster.
Switch TCSS on when normal driving
is resumed, by pressing button
TCSS OFF again. All ESP® systems
are reactivated.Control indicator
TCSS OFF illuminates
briefly in the instrument cluster when
the ignition is switched on and may
also illuminate during driving
depending on road surface.

10-3Vehicle care
To close, lift bonnet slightly, release
the support rod from the hole and
press it back into its retaining clip.
Lower the bonnet gradually, allowing
it to drop from a height of approx.
30 cm.
Check that the bonnet is locked in
position before driving, by pulling at
its front edge. If it is not engaged,
repeat closing procedure.
Engine oil
Information on engine oil is in the
chapter “Service and maintenance”
311-6.
We recommend the engine oil level is
checked before starting a long trip.
The engine oil level must be checked
with the vehicle horizontal and with
the engine (which must be at
operating temperature) switched off.
Wait a few minutes before checking
the level to allow the normal oil
accumulation in the engine to drain
back into the oil pan.
Pull out dipstick from the tube, wipe it
clean and re-insert it as far as it will
go. After pulling the dipstick out again, check the engine oil level,
ensuring it is between the lower and
upper (MIN and MAX) marks.
The illustrations show checking the
engine oil in the K 10 B and K 12 B
petrol engines and the diesel engines
respectively.
Top up if the engine oil level has
dropped to the "add oil" lower mark
(MIN mark).

10-4 Vehicle care
When replenishing, attempt to use
the same type of engine oil as used at
the last oil change.
The engine oil level must not go
above the upper (MAX) mark on the
dipstick.
Capacities 3 12-5.
Engine oil life monitor 3 3 5-14.
Engine coolant
Antifreeze and corrosion
protection
The antifreeze provides freeze
protection down to -28 °C.
Coolant level
The illustrations show the LOW and
FULL coolant level marks in the
petrol and diesel engines
respectively.
Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be drained
or syphoned out.
Caution
Use only approved antifreeze.
9 Warning
Allow engine to cool down before
removing coolant filler cap. If
steam is visible, move away from
the vehicle until the engine is
cool.
