Operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once
a month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when the
outside temperature is too low.
Service
For optimal cooling performance, it
is recommended to annually check
the climate control system.

142 Driving and Operating
During an Autostop, the heating and
brake performance will be
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.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.

Vehicle battery discharge
protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system. Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several
electrical features such as auxiliary
electric heater or rear window
heating are disabled or switched
into a power saving mode. The fan
speed of the climate control system
is reduced to save power.
Restart of the engine by the
driver
Depress the clutch pedal to restart
the engine.

196 Vehicle Care
Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently.
Use separate leathers for painted
and glass surfaces : Remnants of
wax on the windows will impair
vision.
Do not use hard objects to remove
spots of tar. Use tar removal spray
on painted surfaces.
Exterior lights
Headlamp and other lamp covers
are made of plastic.
Do not use any abrasive or caustic
agents, do not use an ice scraper,
and do not clean them dry.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Otherwise, the paintwork will
dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the
paint has become dull or if solid
deposits have become attached
to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.Plastic body parts must not be
treated with wax or polishing
agents.
Windows and windscreen
wiper blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois
leather together with window
cleaner and insect remover.
When cleaning the rear window,
make sure the heating element
inside is not damaged.
For mechanical removal of ice, use
a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press
the scraper firmly against the glass
so that no dirt can get under it and
scratch the glass.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a
soft cloth and window cleaner.
Sunroof
Never clean with solvents or
abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive
media (e.g. paint cleaner, acetone
containing solutions etc.), acidic or
highly alkaline media or abrasive
pads. Do not apply wax or polishing
agents to the sunroof.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be
treated with the same agents as
the body.
Paintwork damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage
with a touch-up pen before rust
forms. Have more extensive
damage or rust areas repaired by a
workshop.
Underbody
Some areas of the vehicle
underbody have a PVC
undercoating while other critical
areas have a durable protective wax
coating.
After the underbody is washed,
check the underbody and have it
waxed if necessary.
