176Climate controlAir conditioning regularoperation
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
● cabin air filter check

Driving and operating183During 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 bonnet is fully closed.
● 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 above -5 °C.
● 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.
The stop-start system will be
deactivated on inclines of 12% or
more.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
Climate control chapter for more
details 3 165.
Immediately after motorway driving,
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 178.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.
Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features e.g. auxiliary electric heater
or heated rear window are disabled orswitched to a power saving mode.
The fan speed of the climate control
system is reduced to save power.
Restart of the engine by the driver
Vehicles with manual transmission
All engines can be restarted in two
ways: with a conventional restart or a
late restart.Conventional restart
Depress the clutch pedal without
depressing the brake pedal to restart
the engine.Late restart
Late restart is only available on
inclines up to 5%.
● Depress the brake pedal.
● Depress the clutch pedal.
● Select first gear.
● Release the brake pedal to restart the engine.
Vehicles with automatic transmission Release the brake pedal or moveselector lever out of D into N or P to
restart the engine.

184Driving and operatingRestart of the engine by the stop-
start system
The selector lever must be in neutralto enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system:
● The stop-start system is manually deactivated.
● The bonnet is opened.
● The driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door
is opened.
● The engine temperature is too low.
● The charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level.
● The brake vacuum is not sufficient.
● The vehicle is driven at least at walking speed.
● The climate control system requests an engine start.
● The air conditioning is manually switched on.If the bonnet is not fully closed, awarning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop during the restart might be noticeable.
Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake. Pull switch m for
approx. one second and check
if the control indicator m
illuminates.
The electric parking brake is applied when control indicator
m illuminates 3 107.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector
lever to position P before
switching off ignition. On an
uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position P before switching off ignition.
Turn the front wheels towards
the kerb.
● Close the windows and the sunroof.
● Switch off ignition with power button. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering wheel lock is
felt to engage.
● Lock the vehicle with button on the door handle.
● Activate the anti-theft alarm system.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 256.
