Storage77
■ When transporting objects in theload compartment, the backrests ofthe second row must not be angled
forward.
■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement of thedriver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.
■ Do not drive with an open load compartment.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 198) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the Weights
table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle's higher centre of
gravity. Distribute the load evenly
and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the
straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h.The permissible roof load is 75 kg and 100 kg for vehicles with roof
railing. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.

Lighting113Rear fog lights
The rear fog light can only be
switched on when both the ignition
and headlights or sidelights (with front
fog lights) are on.
Operated with the r button.
The vehicle rear fog light is
deactivated when towing.
Parking lights
When parked, the parking light on one side can be activated:
1. Set light switch to 7 or AUTO .
2. Ignition off.
3. Move turn signal lever all the way up (right parking light) or down
(left parking light).
Confirmed by a signal and the
corresponding turn signal control
indicator.
To switch it off, switch on the ignition
or move the turn signal lever in the
opposite direction.
Reversing lights
The reversing light comes on when
the ignition is on and reverse gear is
selected.
Misted light covers
The inside of the light covers may mist up briefly in poor, wet and cold
weather conditions, in heavy rain or
after washing. The mist disappears
quickly by itself; to help, switch on the headlights.

118Climate control
■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
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
n=Cooling4=Air recirculationCooling n
Operated with the n button and is
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
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,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Air recirculation system 4
Operated with the 4 button.9Warning
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.

■ Set air distribution control to l.
■ Set temperature control to warmest
level.
■ Set fan speed to highest level.

For reasons of comfort, change
temperature only in small increments.
At the end positions, there is no
temperature regulation. The air
conditioning system works with
maximum cooling or heating.
Heating will not be fully effective until
engine has reached normal operating temperature.
Fan speed In the automatic mode A the fan

Driving and operating127
To repeat the starting procedure or to
switch off the engine, press the button again.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C the
automatic transmission and the
manual transmission automated
need a warming phase of approx. 5
minutes. The selector lever must be
in position P respectively N.
Overrun cut-off The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle
is driven with a gear engaged but
accelerator is released.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 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 switchingoff the ignition. Turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
■ Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft locking system and the
anti-theft alarm system.

Driving and operating129
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 3 145, 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 makes
automatic shifting possible
(automatic mode) and the version
with ActiveSelect also makes manual
shifting possible (manual mode).
Transmission display
The mode or selected gear is shown
in the transmission display.
