Air Vents
Adjustable Air Vents
At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on in order to
prevent the evaporator from icing up
due to lack of air movement.
Direct the flow of air by tilting and
swivelling the slats. If you do not
want the flow, move the slats to
inside for centre vent and outside
for side vent. The vent has some air
leakages at closed position.

For optimal cooling performance, it
is recommended to annually check

140 Driving and Operating
Starting the Engine
Manual gearbox: Operate clutch
Automatic transmission : Operate
brake and move the selector lever
to P or N
Do not operate accelerator pedal.
Turn the key briefly to position 3 and
release : An automatic procedure
operates the starter with a short
delay as long as the engine is
running, see Automatic Starter
Control.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn the key back to
position 0.During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down
to -25 °C for diesel engines and
-30 °C for petrol engines.
Diesel engines The start of the
engine without additional heaters is
possible down to -25 °C.
Petrol engines The start of the
engine without additional heaters is
possible down to -30 °C.
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.
Automatic starter control
This function controls the engine
starting procedure. The driver does
not need to hold the key in
position 3.
Once applied, the system will go on
starting automatically until the
engine is running. Because of the
checking procedure, the engine
starts running after a short delay.
Possible reasons for a non-starting
engine:
.
clutch pedal not operated
(manual gearbox)
. time out occurred
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 is released.

142 Driving and Operating
During an Autostop, the heating 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 vehicle battery is sufficiently
charged and 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 defrost selection does not
inhibit an Autostop. .
The climate control system
allows an Autostop.
. The brake vacuum is sufficient.
. 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.

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
into a power saving mode. The fan
speed of the climate control system
is reduced to save power.
Restart of the engine by the
driver
Depress the clutch pedal to restart
the engine.
The engine start is indicated by the
needle at the idle speed position in
the tachometer.
If the selector lever is shifted out of
neutral before depressing the clutch
first, control indicator

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 bonnet is opened.
. The driver's seat belt is
unfastened and the driver's door
is opened.
. The engine temperature is
too low.
. The vehicle battery is
discharged.
. The brake vacuum is not
sufficient.
. The vehicle starts to move.
. The climate control system
requests an engine start. .
The air conditioning is manually
switched on.
If the bonnet is not fully closed, a
warning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power socket, a brief power
drop during restart might be
noticeable.
Parking
{Warning
. 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.
Apply manual parking brake
without pressing release
button. Apply as firmly as
possible on downhill or

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.
