100Instruments and controlsVehicle messagesMessages are given via the
instrument panel display or as
warning and signal buzzers. Check
control messages appear on the
Info-Display. Some appear in an
abbreviated form. Confirm warning
messages with the multifunction knob

Warning chimes
When starting the engine or
whilst driving ■ If the electronic key is not present or is not recognised.
■ If seat belt is not fastened.
■ If a door or the tailgate is not fully closed when starting off.
■ If a certain speed is exceeded with the parking brake applied.■ If the speed programmed at thefactory is exceeded.
■ If the vehicle has automated manual transmission and the
driver's door is opened when the
engine is running, a gear is
engaged and the foot brake is not
depressed.
When the vehicle is parked and the driver's door is opened ■ When the key is in the ignition switch.
■ With exterior lights on.
■ With Open&Start system and automatic transmission, if the
selector lever is not in P.
■ For automated manual transmission, if the parking brake isnot applied and no gear is engaged
when the engine is switched off.Battery voltage
Low battery voltage in radio remote
control or electronic key. On vehicles
without check control, the message
InSP3 appears in the instrument
panel display. Replace the battery
3 27, 3 28.
Brake light switch Brake light does not come on duringbraking. Have the cause of the fault
remedied immediately by a
workshop.

Instruments and controls101Engine cooling level
Low fluid level in engine cooling
system. Check coolant level 3 154.
Drain diesel fuel filter If there is water in the diesel fuel filter,
the message InSP4 appears in the
instrument panel. Consult a
workshop.
Lighting
Important exterior lights, including
cables and fuses, are monitored. In
trailer mode, trailer lighting is also
monitored. Trailers with LED lighting
must have an adapter that enables
light monitoring as with conventional
bulbs.
The failed lighting will be indicated in
the information display or the
message InSP2 will appear in the
instrument panel display.
Anti-theft alarm system
System fault in anti-theft alarm
system. Have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.
Tyre pressure
On vehicles with tyre pressure
monitoring system, if there is low tyre pressure, information which tyre to
check appears on the display.
Reduce speed and check tyre
pressure at the next opportunity. Tyre
pressure monitoring system 3 174.
Check tyre pressure 3 173, 3 205.

Light switch
Turn light switch:
7=Off8=sidelights9=low beam
Control indicator 8 3 92.
If the ignition is switched off with the
low beam on, only the sidelights
remain illuminated.
Automatic light control
Light switch set to AUTO: When the
engine is running, the exterior lighting is switched on when external lightingconditions are poor.
For reasons of safety, the light switch
should always remain in the AUTO
position.
Move light switch to 9 if visibility is
poor because of fog or mist.

110Lighting
However, when driving in countries
where traffic drives on the opposite
side of the road, adjust the headlights
to prevent dazzling of oncoming
traffic.
Vehicles with halogen headlight
system Have the headlights adjusted by a
workshop.
Vehicles with adaptive forward lightingAdapting the aim of the headlight
beam:
1. Pull lever and hold.
2. Switch on ignition.
3. An acoustic signal sounds after approx. 3 seconds.
Control indicator B 3 92.
Daytime running lights
With the ignition on and the light switch set to 7 or AUTO , the sidelights
are switched on. When the engine is
running, headlights illuminate.
On vehicle without automatic light
control, 9 must be switched on when
it gets dark for illumination of the
instrument panel.
The daytime running lights switch off when the ignition is switched off.
Adaptive forward lighting
Adaptive forward lighting with Bi-
Xenon headlights improves lighting in
curves and increases headlight
range.Curve lighting
The light beam pivots based on
steering wheel position and speed.
Motorway lighting
At higher speeds and continuous
straight ahead travel, the beam
automatically raises slightly, thereby
increasing headlight range.
Control indicator B 3 92.

Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
n=Cooling4=Air recirculationCooling n
Operated with the n button and is
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
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 the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Air recirculation system 4
Operated with the 4 button.9Warning
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.
Air distribution to l: Air recirculation
is deactivated.
Maximum cooling Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.

Climate control system settings can
be changed via the centre control, the
buttons and the menus shown on the display.
To view the menu, press the centre
control. The Climate menu appears in
the display.

122Climate control
Air conditioning with the engine
not running When ignition is off, the residual heat
or cooling in the system can be used
for climate control in passenger
compartment.
Press the AUTO button with the
ignition off. Residual air conditioning
on will appear briefly in the display.
Residual climate control can only
operate for a limited period of time. To
cancel, press the AUTO button.
Auxiliary heater
Air heater Quickheat is an electric auxiliary air
heater which automatically warms up
the passenger compartment more
quickly.
Coolant heater Diesel-engined vehicles have a fuel-
powered auxiliary coolant heater
which warms up the engine coolant
when the engine is running.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 tolack of air movement.
Air vents with adjuster wheel
To open or close the vent, turn the
adjuster wheel.
Direct the flow of air by tilting and
swivelling the slats.
Air vents without adjuster wheel

Climate control123
Open slats and adjust direction of air
flow.
To close the vents, direct slats
downwards.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 intakes in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter
The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
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 outside
temperature is too low.
Service For optimal cooling performance, it isrecommended 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
