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.
■ Switch off the engine.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage

The trip computer provides
information on driving data, which is
continually recorded and evaluated
electronically.
Depending on vehicle, the following
functions can be selected by pressing button repeatedly on end of wiper
lever:

■ For simultaneous warming of the foot well, set air distribution control
to J.
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 34, Heated
seats ß 3 41.
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
maximum cooling while the ambient
temperature is high, an Autostop
may be inhibited until the required
temperature in the passenger
compartment has been reached.
If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the engine is in an Autostop, the engine mayrestart automatically.Stop-start system 3 111.
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.

Notice
If the V button is pressed while the
engine is running, an Autostop will
be inhibited until the V button is
pressed again.
If the V button is pressed while the
engine is in an Autostop, the engine will restart automatically.Electronic climate control
