86Instruments and controlsVehicle messagesWarning chimes
Only one warning chime will sound at
a time.
The warning chime regarding
unfastened seat belts has priority
over any other warning chime.
When starting the engine or
whilst driving ■ If seat belt is not fastened.
■ If a certain speed is exceeded with the parking brake applied.
■ If the parking assist detects an object.
■ If a fault is detected in the parking assist.
■ If a door or the tailgate is not fully closed when starting-off.
■ If the vehicle speed briefly exceeds
a set limit.
■ If the stop-start system cannot restart the engine automatically.■ Vehicles with manual transmissionautomated; neutral is not selected
or the foot brake has not been depressed.
■ If a transmission fault is detected in
vehicles with manual transmission
automated.
■ If a warning message, e.g. low tyre
pressure, appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
When the vehicle is parked
and/or the driver's door is
opened ■ When the key is in the ignition switch.
■ Vehicles with manual transmission automated; neutral is not selected,
the parking brake is not applied, or
the foot brake and/or the
accelerator pedal has not been depressed.Fuel system messages
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.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message may
also appear in the Driver Information Centre 3 80.
To reset the fuel cut-off system and
enable the vehicle to be driven, refer
to " Vehicle shutdown " 3 104.

Climate control101Fixed 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.
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.
Service For optimal cooling performance, it isrecommended 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

106Driving and operating
During an Autostop, the heating,
power steering and brake
performance will be maintained.Caution
The steering assist can 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 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
■ the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
■ the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
■ the brake vacuum is sufficient
■ the windscreen wipers are not operating at fast speed
■ reverse gear is not selected
■ heated rear window is not operating
Ambient temperature near to the
freezing point can inhibit an Autostop.
For manual transmission automated
vehicles, an Autostop may be
inhibited until a speed of approx.
6 mph is reached.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 103.Battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.
Restarting the engine
Manual transmission
The selector lever must be in neutral
to enable an automatic restart.
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Manual transmission automated
If the lever is in position N, select
another gear, otherwise release the
brake pedal or move the lever to +, –
or R to enable an automatic restart.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart may be noticeable.
Restarting the engine with the
key When one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will need to be restarted
manually using the key.

Driving and operating107
■ the driver's seat belt is unfastenedand the driver's door is opened
■ three minutes have elapsed since the engine was switched off
In this event, control indicator ^
flashes in the Driver Information
Centre in conjunction with a warning
chime. Depending on version, a
corresponding message may also
appear in the Driver Information
Centre 3 80.
Fault If control indicator Æ illuminates in the
instrument cluster, there is a fault in
the stop-start system 3 79.
Depending on version, 9 will
illuminate as an alternative if control
indicator Æ is not present. A warning
message may also be displayed in
the Driver Information Centre 3 80.
Generic warning 9 3 73.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.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 parking brake without pressing release button.Apply as firmly as possible on a
downhill slope or uphill slope.
Depress foot brake at the same
time to reduce operating force.
■ Switch off the engine. Turn the ignition key to position STOP
and remove it. Turn the steering
wheel until the steering wheel
lock is felt to engage.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear before switching off the ignition. On an uphill slope, turn
the front wheels away from the
kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear
before switching off the ignition. Turn the front wheels towards
the kerb.
Lock the vehicle 3 21 and activate the
anti-theft locking system 3 26 .
Notice
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment, the engine is
turned off automatically if the vehicle
comes to a standstill within a certain time.

144Vehicle careWheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tyres of size 185/65 R15,
195/65 R15 and 195/60 R16 C are
permitted as winter tyres.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.Tyre designations
E.g. 215/60 R 16 95 H215=Tyre width, mm60=Cross-section ratio (tyre height
to tyre width), %R=Belt type: RadialRF=Type: RunFlatC=Cargo or commercial use16=Wheel diameter, inches95=Load index e.g. 95 is
equivalent to 690 kgH=Speed code letter
Speed code letter:
Q=up to 100 mphS=up to 112 mphT=up to 118 mphH=up to 130 mphV=up to 150 mphW=up to 168 mph
Directional tyres
Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres atleast every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
wheel.
Unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressure 3 172.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify the engine identifier code.
Engine data 3 166.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 172.
