CLIMATE CONTROL
* Option/accessory.213
Heater*
The heater helps the engine and passenger compartment reach the correct temperaturebefore and during driving.
The heater has two subfunctions: • Parking heater - heats the engine and pas- senger compartment, if necessary, when the parking climate control's preconditioning
* is
activated.
• Additional heater - heats the passenger compartment and engine, if necessary, dur-ing driving.
The heater is fuel-driven and is fitted in the frontright-hand wheel housing.
This symbol illuminates in the driverdisplay when the heater is active.
NOTE
When the heater is running, smoke may be emitted from the right-hand front wheel hous-ing and a low hum may be heard. A tickingsound from the fuel pump may also be heardfrom the rear section of the car. This is per-fectly normal.
Battery and chargingThe heater is powered by the car's starter battery. If the charge level of the starter battery is too low,then the heater is switched off automatically andthe driver display shows a message.
NOTE
Make sure that there is enough charge in the battery if the heater needs to be used.
Fuel and refuelling 6
Warning label on fuel filler flap.
The heater uses fuel from the car's normal fuel tank. If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the car should point downhill to ensure that there is asupply of fuel to the heater. If the level in the fuel tank is too low then theheater is switched off automatically and the driverdisplay shows a message.
NOTE
Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's normal fuel tank if the heater needs to beused.
WARNING
Fuel which spills out could be ignited. Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting torefuel. Check in the driver display that the heater is switched off. The heat symbol is shown whenit is operating.

Parking heater *
The parking heater helps the passenger com- partment reach the correct temperature beforedriving.
The parking heater is one of two subfunctions of the car's heater. The heater is fitted in the frontright-hand wheel housing.
NOTE
When the heater is running, smoke may be emitted from the right-hand front wheel hous-ing and a low hum may be heard. A tickingsound from the fuel pump may also be heardfrom the rear section of the car. This is per-fectly normal.
The parking heater starts automatically when extra heat is required if the parking climate con- trol's preconditioning * is activated.
It is then switched off automatically when the right temperature, the time of a set timer or theheater's maximum running time has beenreached. The heater's maximum running time is 40 minutes.
NOTE
Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's normal fuel tank if the heater needs to beused. Make sure that there is enough charge in the starter battery if the heater needs to be used.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the parking heater combined with short journeys may discharge the batteryand impair starting. If the heater is used on a regular basis, then the car should be driven for the same amountof time that the heater is used in order toensure that the car's battery is recharged withthe same amount of energy as consumed bythe parking heater. The parking heater is usedfor a maximum of 40 minutes each time.
WARNING

Automatic deactivation
In gear position D the steering wheel paddles are
deactivated after a short time if they are not used. This is indicated by means of the figure for thecurrent gear extinguishing. The exception is during engine braking - then the paddles are activated for as long as engine brak-ing is in progress. In gear position M there is no automatic deactiva-
tion.

Start/Stop
With the Start/Stop function, the engine switches off temporarily when the car has stop-ped e.g. at traffic lights or in a traffic queue, andthen starts again automatically when the journeyis resumed.
Start/Stop is one of several energy-saving func- tions intended to reduce fuel consumption, whichin turn helps to reduce exhaust emissions. The system makes it possible to adopt an envi- ronmentally-conscious driving style by allowingthe car to engine auto-stop when possible.

• Using the Start/Stop function (p. 396)
• Conditions for the Start/Stop function(p. 398)
Using the Start/Stop function The Start/Stop function temporarily switches off the engine when stationary and then restarts itautomatically when the journey is resumed.
The Start/Stop function is available when the engine is started and can be activated if certainconditions have been met. The driver display indi-cates whether the function is available, active orunavailable, see heading "Symbols in driver dis-play" below. All of the car's normal systems such as lighting, radio, etc. work normally, even when the engine isauto-stopped. However, some equipment mayhave its output temporarily reduced, e.g. the cli-mate control system's fan speed or extremelyhigh volume on the audio system.
Auto-stopThe following is required for the engine to auto-stop:

Selectable drive modes
COMFORT
•
This is the car's normal mode.
When the car starts, it is in
Comfort mode and
the Start/Stop function is activated. These set- tings mean that the car feels comfortable, thesteering is light, the shock absorption is soft andbody's movement is smooth. This drive mode is the certification mode for car- bon dioxide emissions.
ECO
• Adapt the car for more energy-efficient and environmentally-conscious driving with the
Eco mode.
The drive mode means, for example, that the Start/Stop function is activated and the output ofcertain climate settings is reduced. The driver display has an ECO gauge that facili- tates fuel-efficient driving. More information on this drive mode is found in the section "Drive mode ECO".
DYNAMIC
•Dynamic mode means that the car has
sportier characteristics and faster response to accelerating.
The gear changes become faster and more dis-tinct, and the gearbox prioritises a gear withgreater traction. Steering response is faster and shock absorption is harder 6
which means that the body follows the
roadway in order to reduce roll during cornering. Start/Stop function is deactivated.
INDIVIDUAL
• Adapting a drive mode according to individ- ual preferences.
Select a drive mode to start from, and then adjustthe settings according to the desired driving cha-racteristics. These settings are saved in an indi-vidual driver profile. An individual drive mode is only available if it is first activated in the centre display.

Drive mode ECO
Driving mode ECO mode optimises the car's
driving characteristics for more fuel efficient and environmentally-conscious driving.
Use this drive mode to save fuel and the environ- ment. The following properties are adapted for Eco driv- ing:
• Gearbox gearshift points 8
.
• Engine management and response from theaccelerator pedal.
• The Eco Coast 9
freewheel function is acti-
vated and engine braking is deactivatedwhen the accelerator pedal is released atspeeds between 65 and 140 km/h(40 and 87 mph).
• Some of the climate control system's set-tings work at reduced power or are deacti-vated.
• The driver display shows information in anECO gauge which facilitates environmentally-conscious and fuel-efficient driving.
Selecting ECO modeThe Eco mode is deactivated when the engine isswitched off, and it must therefore be activatedafter each time the engine is started. The driver display shows ECO when the function is acti-vated.

A car without drive mode con- trol has a function button for
Driving mode ECO in the
centre display's function view.
–Press the button in order to activate the function.
> An indicator in the button illuminates when the function is activated.
Freewheel function Eco Coast 10The freewheel function Eco Coast means in prac- tice that engine braking ceases, meaning in turnthat the car's kinetic energy is used to freewheelfor longer distances. When the driver releasesthe accelerator pedal the gearbox is automaticallydisengaged from the engine whose speed isreduced to idling speed with reduced consump-tion. The function is best used where it is possible to freewheel a long way, e.g. roads with a slightdownhill gradient or when there is a predictablespeed reduction to freewheel into a zone with alower speed limit.
Activating the freewheel function
The function is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully released, in combination with thefollowing parameters:
• Drive mode
Eco is activated.
• The gear selector is in
D position.
• Speed within the range of approx. 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).
• The road's downhill gradient is not steeperthan approx. 6%.
The driver display shows
COASTING when the
freewheel function is being used.
Limitations
The freewheel function is not available if:
• Engine and/or gearbox are not at normal operating temperature.
• The cruise control is activated.
• The gear selector is moved from the
D posi-
tion and the manual position.
• The speed is outside the range ofapprox. 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph).
• The road's downhill gradient is steeper thanapprox. 6%.
• Manual gear changing is performed with the steering wheel paddles
*.
Deactivating and switching off the freewheel function
In certain situations it may be desirable to deacti- vate or switch off the function in order to useengine braking. Examples of such situations maybe on steep downhill gradients or before animminent overtaking manoeuvre - in order to beable to do it in the safest way possible. Deactivate the freewheel function as follows:
• Actuate the accelerator or brake pedal.
• Move the gear selector to manual position.
• Changing gear with steering wheel paddles
*.
Switch off the freewheel function as follows:
• Change drive mode
*, or switch off the
Driving mode ECO in the function view.
Even without the freewheel function, it is possible to freewheel for short distances. This, in turn,reduces consumption. However, for the best fueleconomy it is better to have the freewheel func-tion activated and be able to freewheel for longerdistances.
