Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people
not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time. Child
restraint system 3 50.
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage, pollution and
proper functionality.
Have damaged components replaced by a workshop. After an accident,
have the belts and triggered belt
pretensioners replaced by a
workshop.
Note
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from getting into the belt retractors.
Seat belt reminder

LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation. 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) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons.
Activated cooling may inhibit
Autostops.

mode. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate activation.
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 from inside.
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 l.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.

130Climate control
If the minimum temperature Lo is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum cooling if cooling n is
switched on.
If the maximum temperature Hi is set,
the climate control system runs at maximum heating.
Note
If n is switched on, reducing the set
cabin temperature can cause the
engine to restart from an Autostop or inhibit an Autostop.
