Eco Start/Stop DRIVe
General information on Start/Stop
The engine is switched off - it becomes quieter and
cleaner....
Certain engines can be fitted with a
Eco Start/Stop DRIVe function which is acti-
vated during e.g. stationary traffic or waiting at
traffic lights.
The engine's automatic restart sequence runs
so smoothly that it is hardly noticeable that the
engine has actually been switched off. The
experience is that the engine has been running
the whole time but with an extremely quiet and
low idling speed.
The Eco Start/Stop DRIVe function gives the
driver the opportunity for a more active envi-
ronmentally conscious way of driving the car
by means of being able to disengage gear andletting the engine auto-stop, whenever appro-
priate.
Function and operation
Eco Start/Stop DRIVe On/Off.
Illuminates briefly on activation and for text
messages.
The engine is auto-stopped.
The Eco Start/Stop DRIVe function is
activated automatically when the
engine is started with the key. The driver is
made aware of the function by the instrument
panel symbol (2) illuminating briefly and the
green lamp (1) for the On/Off button illuminat-
ing.
NOTE
After starting with the key and each auto-
stop the car must first reach 5 km/h before
the automatic Start/Stop function is re-acti-
vated - following which certain conditions
must also be fulfilled, refer to these under
the heading "The engine does not auto-
stop".
All of the car's normal systems such as lighting,
radio, etc. work as normal even with an auto-
stopped engine, except that some equipment
may have its function temporarily reduced, e.g.
the climate control system's fan speed or
extremely high volume on the audio system.
Auto-stopping the engineIn order that the engine will auto-stop the car
must be stationary:
•Set the gear lever in neutral position and
release the clutch pedal - the engine is
switched off.
As verification and reminder
that the engine is auto-stop-
ped this symbol in the display
(3) illuminates.

•Depress the clutch pedal - the engine
starts.
or
•Depress the accelerator pedal - the engine
starts.
If the car is on a downhill slope:
•Release the foot brake and let the car roll
faster than normal walking pace - the
engine starts.
After which it is only necessary to engage a
gear and continue the journey.
Gear indicator
An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and
change gear in time.The driver is assisted by an indicator which
notifies the driver when it is most advanta-
geous to engage the next higher or lower gear
- GSI (Gear Shift Indicator).
Indication is made with an up or down arrow in
the combined instrument panel's lower dis-
play.
Deactivating the Eco Start/Stop DRIVe
function
In certain situations, it may
advisable to temporarily dis-
engage the automatic
Start/Stop function - this is
carried out with a push of this
button (1).
Disengaged Start/Stop func-
tion is indicated by the infor-
mation display's symbol (2)
going out and the message
Eco DRIVe Off being dis-
played for about 5 seconds -
while the button's lamp goes
out at the same time.
The Start/Stop function is disengaged until it is
reactivated with the button or until the next
time the engine is started with the key.
Limitations
The engine does not auto-stopEven if the Eco Start/Stop DRIVe function is
activated, the engine does not auto-stop if:
•the driver has opened the seatbelt's
buckle.
•the car has not stopped - however, the
Start/Stop function does accept slow roll-
ing, the equivalent to normal walking pace.
•the capacity of the battery is below the
minimum permissible level.
•the engine does not have normal operating
temperature.
•outside temperature is below 0 or above
30 °C.
•the environment in the passenger com-
partment differs from the preset values -
indicated by the ventilation fan running at
a high speed.
•the car has been reversed and reverse gear
is disengaged.
•battery temperature is below 0 °C or above
55 °C.
The engine auto-starts without driver
intervention
An auto-stopped engine may restart in some
cases without the driver having decided that
the journey should continue.

HomeLinkŸŸ *
03
134* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
HomeLinkŸ is a programmable remote control
which can control up to three different devices
(e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light-
ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing so
replace their remote controls. HomeLink
Ÿ is
supplied built into the left-hand sun visor.
The HomeLink
Ÿ panel consists of three pro-
grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.
NOTE
HomeLinkŸ is designed not to work if the car
is locked from the outside.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when switching to
another car).
Delete the button programming when the
car is to be sold.
Metallic sun visors should not be used in
cars fitted with HomeLink
Ÿ. This may have
an adverse effect on its function.
Operation
When HomeLinkŸ is fully programmed it can be
used in place of the separate original remote
controls.
Depress the programmed button to activate
the garage door, alarm system etc. The indi-
cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but-
ton is kept depressed.
NOTE
If the ignition is not activated, HomeLinkŸ
will work for 30 minutes after the driver's
door has been opened.
The original remote controls can of course be
used in parallel with HomeLinkŸ.
WARNING
If HomeLinkŸ is used to operate a garage
door or gate, ensure that nobody is in the
vicinity of the door or gate while it is in
motion.
Do not use the HomeLink
Ÿ remote control
for any garage door that does not have
safety stop and safety reverse. The garage
door must react immediately when it
detects that something is preventing its
movement, and stop directly and reverse. A
garage door without these characteristics
could cause personal injury. For further
information - contact the supplier via the
Internet: www.homelink.com.
Programming for the first timeThe first step erases the memory in
HomeLinkŸ and must not be carried out when
only one individual button is being reprogram-
med.
1. Depress the two outer buttons and do not
release until the indicator lamp starts to
flash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash-
ing indicates that HomeLink
Ÿ is set in
"learn mode" and is ready to be pro-
grammed.
2. Position the original remote control
5-30 cm from HomeLink
Ÿ. Monitor the indi-
cator lamp.
