Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
AC=coolingu=air recirculationHeated rear window Ü 3 33, Heated
seats ß 3 40.
Cooling (AC)
Operated with the AC button and
functional only when the engine and fan are running.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is a little above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
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.Stop-start system 3 108.
Air recirculation system Operated with the u button.9 Warning
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
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.
■ Cooling AC on.
■ Air recirculation system u on.
■ Set air distribution control to M.
■ Set temperature control to coldest level.
■ Set fan speed to highest level.

and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required
press AC OFF to switch the cooling
system off, thus saving fuel.
Manual air recirculation mode
Operated with the u button.9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.

100Climate control
With the front passenger
compartment air conditioning system
switched on, adjust the air flow to
select the desired speed.
Ensure the air vents are open when in use, to prevent ice forming in the
system due to lack of air movement.
Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine
running.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units

Climate control105Air 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.
Service For 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

110Driving and operating
If the selector lever is shifted out of
N before depressing the clutch first, a
restart will not take place.
Restart of the engine by the
stop-start system
The selector lever has to be in N 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. Control
indicator Ï will flash green in the
instrument cluster during an
automatic engine restart.
■ The stop-start system is manually deactivated
■ the engine temperature is too low ■ the vehicle battery is discharged
■ the brake vacuum is not sufficient
■ the vehicle starts to move
■ the defrosting function is activated
■ the climate control system requests
an engine start
■ the predetermined timing has been
exceededIf an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.
If the Infotainment system is active,
audio sound may briefly be reduced
or broken during restart.
Warning chimes 3 84.
Fault
If control indicator Ï illuminates
yellow, there is a fault in the stop-start system 3 82. Seek the assistance of
a workshop.
Parking ■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily
ignitable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system
could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply parking brake without
pressing release button. Apply as
firmly as possible on a downhill or
uphill slopes. Operate the foot
brake at the same time to reduce
operating force.■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock engages.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or
uphill slope, engage first gear
before switching off the ignition. On
an uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear before
switching off the ignition. Turn the
front wheels towards the kerb.
■ Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft locking and anti-theft
alarm systems.
Air suspension
Operates automatically when the
vehicle is driven. The air suspension
system constantly adjusts the ride
height according to the vehicle load.

112Driving and operating
Service modePress button i for 5 seconds to put
the vehicle into service mode. The indicator light will illuminate. When
service mode has been activated, the
air suspension master switch must be turned off.
To exit service mode, press button
i again for 5 seconds.
Fault If a fault is detected, i button will
flash intermittently. If the service
mode has been activated and there is a fault h, S and R buttons will flash
simultaneously.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.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.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification. The filter is cleaned
by periodically burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
and the emission of smells and
smoke during this process is normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will be
indicated by illumination of control
indicator A 3 79. Seek the
assistance of a workshop immediately.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
