Stop-start system
If the vehicle is at low speed or in
standstill and certain conditions are
fulfilled, activate an Autostop as
follows:
■ Depress the clutch pedal
■ shift the selector lever to N
■ release the clutch pedal
An Autostop is indicated when Ï
illuminates green in the instrument
cluster.
To restart the engine, depress the clutch pedal again.
Stop-start system 3 108.
ParkingCaution
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 a downhill
slope or uphill slope. Depress foot
brake at the same time to reduce
operating force.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or
uphill slope, engage first gear
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 before
switching off the ignition. Turn the
front wheels towards the kerb.
■ After running at high engine speeds
or with high engine loads, operate the engine briefly at a low load or
run in neutral for approx.
30 seconds before switching off, in
order to protect the turbocharger.
■ Switch off the engine. Turn the ignition key to position St and
remove it. Turn steering wheel until
it locks.
■ Close the windows.
■ Lock the vehicle. Activate the anti-theft alarm system
3 27.
■ The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switchedoff 3 133.

■ Ignition
■ Interruption of alarm siren power supply
Activation
All doors and the bonnet must be
closed.
Press button e to activate anti-theft
alarm system. Hazard warning lights
flash twice to confirm activation.
If the hazard warning lights do not flash upon activation, a door or the
bonnet is not fully closed.
Deactivation
Unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition deactivates the anti-theft
alarm system. Hazard warning lights
flash once to confirm deactivation.
Notice
If the alarm has been triggered,
unlocking the vehicle with the key
will not stop the alarm siren. To stop
the siren, switch on the ignition. The hazard warning lights will not flash
upon deactivation if the alarm has
been triggered.
Activation without monitoring of
passenger compartment
Switch off monitoring of the
passenger compartment when
people or animals are being left in the
vehicle, or if the auxiliary heater
3 100 is set for a timed or remote
controlled start.
Depending on vehicle configuration:
■ press and hold button e, or
■ switch ignition on and off twice quickly, then close doors and
activate the anti-theft alarm system.
An audible signal will sound as
confirmation.
The status will remain until the doors
are unlocked.

Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
AC=coolingu=air recirculationHeated rear window Ü 3 33, Heated
seats ß 3 40.
Cooling (AC)
Operated with the AC button and
functional only when the engine and fan are running.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is a little above
the freezing point. 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.
Notice
If the climate control is set to
maximal cooling while the ambient
temperature is high, an Autostop
may be inhibited until the requested
temperature in the passenger
compartment has been reached.
If the climate control is set to
maximal cooling while the engine is
in an Autostop, the engine may
restart automatically.Stop-start system 3 108.
Air recirculation system Operated with the u 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.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.
■ Cooling AC on.
■ Air recirculation system u on.
■ Set air distribution control to M.
■ Set temperature control to coldest level.
■ Set fan speed to highest level.
■ Open all air vents.
100Climate control
With the front passenger
compartment air conditioning system
switched on, adjust the air flow to
select the desired speed.
Ensure the air vents are open when in use, to prevent ice forming in the
system due to lack of air movement.
Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine
running.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units

Notice
The remote control system features
a temperature sensor which
calculates the runtime according to
the ambient temperature and the
desired heating level (ECO or
HIGH). The system starts
automatically between 5 and
60 minutes prior to the programmed
departure time.

Adjustable air vents
At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on in order to prevent
the evaporator from icing up due to lack of air movement.
Centre air vents
Press the vent to open.
Direct the flow of air by swivelling the vent.
Push vent to close.
