maintained.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if
each of the following conditions is
fulfilled.
.The stop-start system is not
manually deactivated.
. The bonnet is fully closed.
. The driver's door is closed or the
driver's seat belt is fastened.
. The vehicle battery is sufficiently
charged and in good condition.
. The engine is warmed up.
. The engine coolant temperature
is not too high.
. The engine exhaust temperature
is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load.
. The ambient temperature is not
too low.
. The defrost selection does not
inhibit an Autostop. .
The climate control system
allows an Autostop.
. The brake vacuum is sufficient.
. The vehicle has moved since the
last Autostop.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
An Autostop may become less
available as the ambient
temperature approaches the
freezing point.
Certain settings of the climate
control system may inhibit an
Autostop. See Climate control
chapter for more details.

Specifications 0209.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Engine Coolant
The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °C.
In northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled
coolant provides frost protection
down to approx. -37 °C.
Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
Coolant level
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause
engine damage.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be above the
filling line mark.
{Warning
