Additional heater*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.165 General information about the
additional heater
In cold climate zones1 an additional heater may
be required to obtain the correct operating
temperature in the engine and to obtain suffi-
cient heating in the passenger compartment.
Fuel-driven additional heater
A fuel-driven additional heater is fitted in cars
with diesel engines.
The heater starts automatically when extra
heat is required when the engine is running.
The heater is switched off automatically when
the correct temperature is reached or when the
engine is switched off.
NOTE
When the additional heater is active there
may be smoke from the right-hand wheel
housing which is perfectly normal.
Auto mode or shutdownThe additional heater's automatic start
sequence can be switched off if required.

NOTE
The menu options are only visible in key
position I - any adjustments must therefore

Passenger compartment heater*If the additional heater is supplemented with
timer function then it can be used as a fuel-
driven passenger compartment heater, see
page 162.
Electric additional heater
Cars with certain petrol engines2 have an elec-
tric additional heater integrated into the car's
climate control system.
In a semi-cold
1 climate zone diesel-driven cars
have an electric additional heater instead of a
fuel-driven version.
The heater cannot be controlled manually but
is instead activated automatically after the
engine has been started in outside tempera-
tures below 14 °C and is switched off after the
set passenger compartment temperature has
been reached.

NOTE
There may be a slight error in the reading if

Km to empty tankThe calculation is based on the average fuel
consumption over the last 30 km and the
remaining driveable fuel quantity. The display
shows the approximate distance that can be
driven with the fuel quantity remaining in the
tank.
An economic driving style generally results in a
longer driving distance. For more information
on how fuel consumption can be influenced,
see page 11.
No guaranteed range remains when the display
shows "

A temporary increase in speed with the accel-
erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not
affect the cruise control setting - the car returns

is shown in brackets in the display (5), e.g.
(100) km/h.
Automatic standby modeCruise control is temporarily disengaged and
set in standby mode if:
•wheels lose traction
•the foot brake is used
•speed falls below approx. 30 km/h
•the clutch pedal is depressed
•the gear selector is moved to neutral posi-
tion (automatic gearbox)
•the driver maintains a speed higher than
the set speed for longer than 1 minute.
The driver must then regulate the speed.

Changing the speedIn active mode the speed is adjusted 5 km/h
with each press on
or . In active mode
the button
has the same function as but
results in a lower increase in speed. The last
press is stored in the memory.
NOTE
If any cruise control button is held
depressed for more than approx. 1 minute
then cruise control is disengaged. The
engine must be switched off in order to reset
cruise control.
In certain situations, cruise control cannot
be activated. Then the display shows
Cruise control Unavailable, see
page 183.
Set time intervalDifferent time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be
selected and shown in the
display as 1-5 horizontal lines
- the more lines the longer the
time distance. One line corre-
sponds to approximately
1 second, 5 lines approximately 2.5 seconds.
The time interval is increased or decreased
with the steering wheel keypad's thumbwheel
(or the buttons
/ for cars without Speed
limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short, the
adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary noticeably in certain situations
in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in
front smoothly and comfortably.
Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if
any unforeseen traffic problem should arise.
The number of lines for the
selected time interval is
shown during the setting itself
and for several seconds after-
wards. Then a smaller scale
version of the symbol is
shown to the right of the dis-
play. The same symbol is also shown when
Distance Warning is activated, see page 185.
NOTE
Only use the time interval that is allowed in
accordance with local traffic regulations.
If cruise control does not seem to react to
activation the reason may be that the time
interval to the closest vehicle prevents an
increase in speed.
The higher the speed, the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a specific time
interval.
Temporary deactivation - standby mode
Press the steering wheel button to tempo-
rarily disengage the cruise control and set it in
standby mode - set speed is shown in brackets
in the display, e.g.
(100).
