148Climate control
If the minimum temperature Lo is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum cooling, if cooling  n is
switched on.
If the maximum temperature  Hi is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum heating.
Notice
If  n  is switched on, reducing the set
cabin temperature can cause the
engine to restart from an Autostop or inhibit an Autostop.

Cooling  n
Press button  n to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by the LED in
the button. Cooling is only functional
when the engine is running and
climate control fan is switched on.
Press button  n again to switch off
cooling.
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 off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. When the cooling
system is switched off, no engine
restart will be requested by the
climate control system during an
Autostop. Exception: defrost system
is activated and outside temperature
above 0° C requests a restart.
The display will indicate  ACON when
cooling is activated or  ACOFF when
the cooling is deactivated.
Activation or deactivation of cooling
operation after engine start can be
changed in the menu  Settings in the
Info-Display. Vehicle personalisation
3  127.Air recirculation mode  4
Press button  4 to activate air
recirculation mode. Activation is
indicated by the LED in the button.
Press button  4 again to deactivate
recirculation mode.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 from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside, when cold air is
directed to it. If windscreen mists up
from outside, activate windscreen
wiper and deactivate  l.

Vehicle personalisation  3 127.
Auxiliary heater
Air heater Quickheat is an electric auxiliary air
heater which automatically warms up
the passenger compartment more
quickly.
Air vents
Adjustable air vents At least one air vent must be open
while the cooling is on.
To open the vent, turn the adjuster
wheel to  B. Adjust the air amount at the
vent outlet by turning the adjuster
wheel.
Direct the flow of air by tilting and swivelling the slats.

Climate control151
To close the vent, turn the adjuster
wheel to  7.
Air vents for rear passenger are left
and right side behind the front seats.
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 intake 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.

152Climate controlAir 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

Driving and operating157
■ The stop-start system is notmanually 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 above -5° C
■ the climate control system allows an Autostop
■ the brake vacuum is sufficient
■ the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
■ the vehicle was driven at least at walking speed since the last
Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
" Climate control " chapter for more
details  3 146.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in  3 154.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several 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  - illuminates
or is shown as a symbol in the Driver Information Centre.
Control indicator  - 3  109.
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.
■ 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 charge level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level 
Page 160 of 293

158Driving and operating
■ the brake vacuum is not sufficient
■ the vehicle is driven at least at walking speed
■ 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 outlet, a brief power drop
during engine restart may be
noticeable.
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. Apply manual parking brake without
pressing release button. Apply as
firmly as possible on downhill or uphill slopes. Depress the footbrake at the same time to reduce
operating force.
Apply electric parking brake by pulling switch  m for approx.
one second. Control indicator  m
must illuminate.
■ 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 or set the selector lever to  P 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 or set theselector lever to  P before switching
off the ignition. Turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
■ Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft alarm system.Notice
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment, the engine is
turned off automatically if the vehicle
comes to a standstill within a certain time.
