compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the 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

switched on.
If the maximum temperature Hi is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum heating.
Notice
If A/C is switched on, reducing the
set cabin temperature can cause the
engine to restart from an Autostop or inhibit an Autostop.

Press A/C to switch on cooling. The
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation. Cooling is only
functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press A/C 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,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons.

The air vent can be opened or closedby turning.
At least two air vents must be open
while cooling is on.
9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Fixed air vents
Additional 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.
Cabin air filter
Change filter regulary for maximum
effect.
More frequent passenger
compartment air filter replacement
may be needed, if you drive in areas
with heavy traffic, poor air quality,

130Climate controlareas with high dust levels or which
are sensitive to environmental
allergens.
Passenger compartment air filter
replacement may also be needed if
there is reduced air flow, windows
fogging up, or odors.
Your dealer can help to determine
when it is the right time to replace the
filter.
Air 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

138Driving and operating● The engine exhaust temperatureis not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load.
● The ambient temperature is sufficient.
● The climate control system allows an Autostop.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.
● The self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
Climate control chapter for more
details 3 120.
If an autostop is temporarily not
available, D flashes green 3 94.
Immediately after driving at a higher
speed an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 132.
Vehicle battery discharge protection To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features such as auxiliary electric
heater or rear window heating are
disabled or switched 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 transmissionConventional restart
All engines have conventional restart.
Depress the clutch pedal without
depressing the brake pedal to restart the engine.
On engines with late restart a
conventional restart is only possible
without depressed brake pedal.
Restart of the engine by the stop-
start system
The selector lever must be in neutral to 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 driver's seat belt is unfastened or 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 climate control system requests an engine start.
● The air conditioning is manually switched on.
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.
