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
windscreen wiper and deactivate l.

The operating status of the parking
heater is shown by an indicator with a LED.
● LED illuminates: A timer has been set.
● LED flashes: The system is operating.
The LED is extinguished at the end of
the heating operation or when the
parking heater is stopped using the
remote control.
The parking heater can be
programmed using the Graphic Info
Display / Colour Info Display.
Additionally, the parking heater can
be switched on and off using a remote control.
Notice
The programmed heating /
ventilation is only activated if the
ignition is off and the vehicle is
locked.
If the charging level of the high
voltage battery is below 50%, the

to enable or disable glovebox cooling.
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.
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 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

134Driving and operatingDriving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function in this situation ( e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others.
All systems function during an
Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 138.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats, which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and enginge oil evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period, fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher.
Additionally, the cleaning process of
the exhaust filter may take place more
often.

driving only when required in case of emergency.

138Driving and operatingStarting the vehicle at low
temperatures
Starting the engine without additional
heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C for petrol
engines. Required is an engine oil
with the correct viscosity, the correct
fuel, performed services and a
sufficiently charged vehicle battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx. 5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in position P .
Turbo engine warm-up Upon 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.
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 pedal is released.Depending on driving conditions, the
overrun cut-off may be deactivated.
Stop-start system
The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the 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.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.
The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the button Ò is not
illuminated. To activate the system
when the system is deactivated,
press Ó.
If the stop-start system is temporarily not available and the button Ò is
pressed, the LED in the button
flashes.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing Ò. The
deactivation is indicated when the
LED in the button illuminates.
Autostop
Vehicles with manual transmission
An Autostop can be activated at a
standstill.
Activate an Autostop as follows: ● Depress the clutch pedal.
● Set the selector lever to neutral.
● Release the clutch pedal.
