Climate control97Fixed air ventsAdditional 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.
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 the
outside temperature is too low.
Service For optimal cooling performance, it is recommended to annually check the
climate control system, 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

104Driving and operatingAutostopVehicles with manual transmission
Activate an Autostop as follows:
● Set the selector lever to neutral.
● Release the clutch pedal.
The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.Vehicles with automatic transmission If the vehicle is at a standstill with
depressed brake pedal, Autostop is
activated automatically.
The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.
The stop-start system will be disabled
on steep inclines.
Indication
An Autostop is indicated by control
indicator n.
During an Autostop, the heating and
brake performance will be
maintained.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled.
● The stop-start system is not manually deactivated.
● The driver's door is closed or 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 or too high.
● The climate control system allows an Autostop.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.● The self-cleaning function of the exhaust filter is not active.
● The vehicle was driven at least at
walking speed since the last
Autostop.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Note
The Autostop may be inhibited for
several hours after a battery
replacement or reconnection.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop.
Climate control 3 90.
Immediately after higher speed
driving an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 99.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
