Climate control111CoolingPress n to switch on cooling. 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) 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
press n again to switch the cooling
system off, thus saving fuel.

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.

Air vents
Adjustable air vents
At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on in order to prevent the evaporator from icing up due to
lack of air movement.9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.

112Climate controlSlide knob to the left to open vent.Direct the flow of air by swivelling the vent.
Slide knob to the right to close vent.
Fixed air vents Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows and in the foot wells.Maintenance
Air 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

Climate control113Note
Refrigerant R-134a contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases with a
global warming potential of 1430.
The air conditioning system is filled
with 0.45 kg and has a CO 2
equivalent of 0.644 tonnes.

118Driving and operatingDeactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing ^ in the centre
console. LED in the button illuminates
to confirm deactivation.
Depending on version, a
corresponding message, e.g.
Start&Stop disconnected , may also
be displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 91.
Autostop
If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
● depress the clutch pedal
● set the lever to neutral
● release the clutch pedal
The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated when control
indicator ^ flashes in the Driver
Information Centre 3 91.
During an Autostop, the heating,
power steering and brake
performance will be maintained.
Caution
The power steering assist may be
reduced during an Autostop.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
● the stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the driver's door is closed and the
driver's seat belt is fastened
● the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high
● the engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load
● the ambient temperature is not too low
● the climate control system allows
an Autostop
