severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons. A
corresponding warning message may also appear in the Driver Information
Centre 3 79.To reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven, refer
to " Vehicle shutdown " 3 103.

Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
n=cooling4=air recirculation
Heated front seats ß 3 35.
Cooling n
Press button n to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by the LED in
the button. Cooling is only functional
when the engine is running and
climate control fan is switched on.
Press button n again to switch off
cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air 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,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Air recirculation system
Press button 4 to activate air
recirculation mode. Activation is
indicated by the LED in the button.
Press button 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. 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.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.
■ Cooling n on.
■ Air recirculation system 4 on.
■ Set air distribution control to M.
■ Set temperature control to coldest level.

Driving and operating103
Turbo engine warm-upUpon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully
protect the engine.
Vehicle shutdown Fuel cut-off system
In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons. A

Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut-
off during overrun, i.e. when the
vehicle is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released.
Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce exhaust emissions.
When conditions allow, it switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is
at a low speed or at a standstill, e.g.
at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. It
starts the engine automatically as
soon as the clutch is depressed.
A battery sensor ensures that an
Autostop is only performed if the
battery is sufficiently charged for a
restart.

108Driving and operatingCaution
It is not advisable to drive with thehand resting on the selector lever.
When gearshifting is recommended
to improve fuel economy, control
indicator [ or Ò illuminates in the
Driver Information Centre 3 75.

Engage only when vehicle is
stationary. The transmission
display shows "R" when
reverse gear is engaged.+=Shift to a higher gear.-=Shift to a lower gear.
Starting-off
When the engine is started, depress
the foot brake and move the selector
lever towards + to engage first gear.
Shift to a higher or lower gear by
moving selector lever to + or -.
Gears can be skipped by moving the selector lever repeatedly at short
intervals.
The driver will be alerted to an
incorrect gear selection by an audible warning chime in conjunction with a
message in the Driver Information
Centre 3 79. The system will
downshift, selecting the most
appropriate gear automatically.
If R is selected, reverse gear is
engaged. The vehicle starts to move
when the foot brake is released. To
start off quickly, release the foot brake
and accelerate immediately after
engaging a gear.
Move the selector lever towards A/M
to engage automatic mode; the
transmission shifts to other gears
automatically, dependent on driving
conditions.
To engage manual mode, move the
selector lever towards A/M. The
current gear will appear in the
transmission display.
Stopping the vehicle
In automatic or manual mode,
first gear is engaged and the clutch is
released when the vehicle is stopped. In R, reverse gear remains engaged.
When stopping on gradients, engage parking brake or depress the foot
brake. To prevent overheating of the
clutch, an intermittent audible
warning chime may sound as a signal
to depress the foot brake or apply the
parking brake.
Switch off engine if stopping for a
lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams.

110Driving and operating
When the vehicle is parked and the
driver's door is opened, a warning
chime will sound if neutral is not
selected or the foot brake has not
been depressed.
Engine braking
Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not
shift into higher gears until a fairly
high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill.Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud, snow or a hole. Move the
selector lever between R and A/M (or
between + and -) in a repeat pattern,
while applying light pressure to the
accelerator pedal. Do not race the
engine and avoid sudden
acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off, the transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
If the ignition is not switched off, or the
parking brake has not been applied, a warning chime will sound upon
opening the driver's door.Manual mode
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions. If engine
speed is too high, the transmission
only switches to a higher gear via
kickdown.
