Heating will not be fully effective until
the engine has reached normal
operating temperature.
When the minimum temperature is
set below 16 ℃, the electronic climate
control system runs at maximum
cooling. LO appears in the display.
If the maximum temperature is set
above 32 ℃, the electronic climate
control system runs at maximum
heating. HI appears in the display.
Fan speed
The selected fan speed is indicated
with bars in the display.
Press ] or < to increase or decrease
the fan speed.

Press n to deactivate fan.
To return to automatic fan speed: Press AUTO.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows
Press Ê.
Temperature and air distribution are
set automatically and the fan runs at a high speed.
When the vehicle reaches normal
operating temperature the function
remains active for approx. 3 minutes.
To return to automatic mode: press n or AUTO .
Air distribution Press R, S or 6.
LED in buttons illuminate.
Arrows shown in the display indicate
the distribution settings.
Cooling
Press 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 n again to switch off cooling.The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) 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
press n again to switch the cooling
system off, thus saving fuel.

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

Climate control105of 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.
Air vents
Adjustable air vents
At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on in order to prevent
the evaporator from icing up due to
lack of air movement.9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Centre air vents
Slide knob to the left to open vent.
Direct the flow of air by swivelling the vent.
Slide knob to the right to close vent.
Side air vents
Slide knob to the left to open vent.
Direct the flow of air by swivelling the vent.
Slide knob to the right to close vent.
Fixed air vents Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows and in the foot wells.

106Climate controlMaintenanceAir 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.
ServiceFor optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended 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

Driving and operating111AutostopIf the vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows:
● depress the clutch pedal
● set the lever to neutral
● release the clutch pedal
The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated when control
indicator ^ flashes in the DIC 3 85.
During an Autostop, the heating,
power steering and brake
performance will be maintained.
Caution
The steering assist may 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.

Battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.
