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 may inhibit
Autostops.

Temperature preselection £
Set the preselected temperatures
separately for the driver and the front
passenger to the desired value using
the left and right rotary ring. The
rotary ring on the passenger side
changes the temperature of the
passenger side. The rotary ring on the driver's side changes the temperature
of the driver's side or of both sides,
depending on activation of
synchronisation MONO in the climate
settings menu. Press MENU to enter
the menu.
Recommended temperature is 22 °C .
Temperature is indicated in displays beside the rotary rings and in the
climate settings menu.
If the minimum temperature Lo is set,
the climate control system runs at maximum cooling, if cooling A/C is
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.

132Climate controlFixed air vents
Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows and in the foot wells.
Glovebox cooler The air conditioning system draws
cooled air into the glovebox through a
noozle.
Move the slider back or forth in order
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

140Driving and operatingRestart of the engine by the driver
Vehicles with manual transmission
Depress the clutch pedal without
depressing the brake pedal to restart the engine.
Vehicles with automatic transmission The engine is restarted in the
following cases:
● brake pedal released while the selector lever in position D or M
● brake pedal released or selector lever in position N when selector
lever is moved to position D or
M
● selector lever moved to position R
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:● stop-start system manually deactivated
● driver's seat belt unfastened and driver's door opened
● engine temperature too low
● charging level of vehicle battery below a defined level
● brake vacuum not sufficient
● vehicle driven at least at walking speed
● climate control system requests engine start
● air conditioning 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.Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Apply the parking brake.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector
lever to position P. On an uphill
slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position
P . Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close the windows.
● Switch off the engine.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch or switch off
ignition on vehicles with power

Driving and operating141button. Turn the steering wheeluntil the steering wheel lock is
felt to engage.
● For hybrid vehicles, make sure READY is not illuminated in the
instrument cluster.
● Lock the vehicle.
● Activate the anti-theft alarm system.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 213.
Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.
Notice
In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, the engine is
switched off automatically if the
vehicle comes to a standstill within a
certain time.
In countries with extreme low
temperatures it may be necessary to park the vehicle without applied
parking brake. Make sure to park the
vehicle on a level surface.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Exhaust filter
Automatic cleaning process
The exhaust filter system filters soot particles out of the exhaust gases.
The start of saturation of the exhaust
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of % or C ,
accompanied by a message in the
Driver Information Centre.

212Vehicle careVehicle storageStorage for a long period of timeIf the vehicle is to be stored for several months:

● Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
● Clean and preserve the rubber seals.
● Fill up fuel tank completely.
● Change the engine oil.
● Drain the washer fluid reservoir. ● Check the coolant antifreeze and
