Open&Start system 3 29. Parking
■
Always apply hand brake withoutpressing release button. Apply as
firmly as possible on a downhill
slope or uphill slope. Operate foot
brake at same time to reduce
operating force.
■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the ignition key to 0 and
remove or, with the vehicle
stationary, press the Start/Stop
button and open the driver's door.
Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, the key can only be
removed when the selector lever is
in the P position. If P is not engaged
or the hand brake is not applied, "P"
flashes for a few seconds in the
transmission display.
■ 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 the
selector
lever to P before switching
off the ignition. Turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
■ Lock the vehicle with button p on
the remote control or with the
sensor in a front door handle.
To activate the anti-theft locking
system and the anti-theft alarm
system, press button p twice or
touch the sensor in a front door
handle twice.
■ Do not park the vehicle on an easy flammable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system
could ignite the surface.
■ On vehicles with manual transmission automated, control
indicator R flashes for a few
seconds after the ignition is
switched off if the hand brake has
not been applied 3 100.
■ Close windows.
■ The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switched
off 3 155.

If
there is water in the diesel fuel filter,
the message InSP4 appears in the
instrument panel. Consult
a workshop.
Lighting
Important exterior lighting lamps,
including cables and fuses, are
monitored. In trailer mode, trailer
lighting is also monitored. Trailers

■ Open side air vents as required and
direct them towards door windows.
■ For simultaneous warming of the foot well, set air distribution control
to J.
Air conditioning system Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
n
= Cooling
4 = Air recirculation Cooling n
Operated with the n button and is
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air condition 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
The air recirculation mode is operated
with the 4 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. Air distribution to
l: Air recirculation
is deactivated.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
■ Cooling n on.
