Cooling

Climate control111
In the Climate menu, select menu
item AC and activate or deactivate
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,
deactivate AC to save fuel.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
might inhibit Autostops.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the display will indicate AC when
cooling is activated or Eco when the
cooling is deactivated.
On vehicles with stop-start system,
two settings for the operation of the
climate control system during an Autostop are available.
Select menu item ecoMode.
Select the desired setting: ■ Max AutoStop : In this mode the
electronic climate control is operated with focus on fuel
efficiency. The duration of an
Autostop is not limited.
■ AC Comfort : In this mode the
electronic climate control is
operated with focus on climate
condition. The duration of an
Autostop might be limited to
maintain the requested climate
condition.

during restart might 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 without
pressing release button. Apply as firmly as possible on downhill or
uphill slopes. Depress the foot
brake at the same time to reduce
operating force.
■ 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.

120Driving and operating
The control indicator ! extinguishes
as soon as the self-cleaning
operation is complete.
If A illuminates additionally, cleaning
is not possible, seek the assistance of
a workshop.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 134, 3 202 could
damage the catalytic converter or
electronic components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual
problems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop as soon as
possible. In an emergency, driving
can be continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.
Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission permits
automatic gearshifting.
Transmission display
The mode or selected gear is shown
in the transmission display.

124Driving and operatingCaution
It is not advisable to drive with thehand resting on the selector lever.
Manual transmission
automated
This transmission permits manual
(manual mode) or automatic gear
shifting (automatic mode), both with
automatic clutch control.
Transmission display
Shows the mode and current gear.
The display flashes for a few seconds
when A, M or R is selected with the
engine running and the foot brake not
activated.
Starting the engine

the engine. If the foot brake is not
depressed, j illuminates in the
instrument cluster, "N" flashes in the
transmission display and the engine
cannot be started.

lights fail.
When the foot brake is depressed, the
transmission automatically shifts to
N upon starting. There may be a slight
delay.
Selector lever

Driving and operating125
Always move the selector lever in the
appropriate direction as far as it will
go. Upon release, it automatically
returns to the centre position.N=Neutral position.A=Switch between automatic and
manual mode. The
transmission display shows A
or M.R=Reverse gear. Engage only
when vehicle is stationary.+=Shift to a higher gear.-=Shift to a lower gear.
Starting off
Depress the foot brake and move the
selector lever to A, + or -. The
transmission is in automatic mode
and first gear is engaged. If R is
selected, reverse gear is engaged.
The vehicle starts to move when the
brake is released.
To start off without depressing the
foot brake, accelerate immediately
after engaging a gear.
If neither the accelerator nor the
brake pedal are depressed, no gear
is engaged and A or R flashes for a
brief time in the display.
Stopping the vehicle In A, first gear is engaged and the
clutch is released when the vehicle is
stopped. In R, reverse gear remains
engaged.
Engine braking
Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not
shift into higher gears until a fairly
high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow. Move the selector
lever between R and A (or + or -) in a
repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off the
transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
Manual mode
If a higher gear is selected when the
engine speed is too low, or a lower
gear when the speed is too high, the
shift is not executed. This prevents
the engine from running at too low or
too high an engine speed.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
