■Open side air vents as required and
direct them towards door windows.
■ For simultaneous warming of the foot well, set air distribution control
to J.
Notice
If the settings for demisting and
defrosting are selected, an Autostop
will be inhibited.
If the settings for demisting and

Stop-start system 3 116.Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
n=cooling4=air recirculation
Heated seats ß 3 38, Heated
steering wheel * 3 71.
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) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
might inhibit Autostops.
Notice
If the climate control is set to
maximal cooling while the ambient
temperature is high, an Autostop
may be inhibited until the requested
temperature in the passenger
compartment has been reached.
If the climate control is set to
maximal cooling while the engine is
in an Autostop, the engine may
restart automatically.

Air recirculation system 4
The air recirculation mode is operated with the 4 button.9Warning
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 from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
Air distribution to l: Air recirculation
is deactivated.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside, when cold air is
directed to it. If windscreen mists up
from outside, activate windscreen
wiper and deactivate s.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.

Cooling

Climate control111
In the Climate menu, select menu
item AC and activate or deactivate
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,
deactivate AC to save fuel.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
might inhibit Autostops.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the display will indicate AC when
cooling is activated or Eco when the
cooling is deactivated.
On vehicles with stop-start system,
two settings for the operation of the
climate control system during an Autostop are available.
Select menu item ecoMode.
Select the desired setting: ■ Max AutoStop : In this mode the
electronic climate control is operated with focus on fuel
efficiency. The duration of an
Autostop is not limited.
■ AC Comfort : In this mode the
electronic climate control is
operated with focus on climate
condition. The duration of an
Autostop might be limited to
maintain the requested climate
condition.
Setting modifications are briefly
shown as pop-ups.
Selections are indicated by a o in
front of the menu item.
In either mode, an Autostop will be
available after the temperature in the
passenger compartment has
sufficiently cooled down.

Driving and operating117
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position in
the tachometer.
During an Autostop, the heating
performance, power steering 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 battery is sufficiently chargedand 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 defrosting function is not activated
■ the climate control system allows an Autostop
■ the brake vacuum is sufficient
■ the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
■ the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
An Autostop may become less
available as the ambient temperature
approaches the freezing point.Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
climate control chapter for more
details.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 115.
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 such as rear window heating
are disabled or switched into a power saving mode. The fan speed of the
climate control system may be
reduced to save power.
Restart of the engine by the
driver
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
