Important safety notes G
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or sufficient
ventilation is not possible, toxic exhaust
fumes can enter the vehicle, especially car-
bon monoxide. This is the case, e.g. in
enclosed spaces, or if the vehicle is stuck in
snow. There is a risk of fatal injuries.
You should switch off the auxiliary heating in
enclosed spaces which do not have an extrac- tion system, e.g. a garage. If the vehicle is
stuck in snow and you must leave the auxiliary
heating running, keep the exhaust pipe and
the area around the vehicle clear of snow. To guarantee a sufficient supply of fresh air, open
a window on the side of the vehicle away from the wind. G
WARNING
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
parts of the vehicle can become very hot.
Flammable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with:
R hot parts of the exhaust system
R the exhaust gas itself
There is a risk of fire. When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
make sure that:
R no flammable materials come into contact
with hot vehicle components
R the exhaust gas can escape from the
exhaust pipe unhindered
R the exhaust gas does not come into contact
with flammable materials.
The auxiliary heating is fitted under the front
wing on the right-hand side of the vehicle. The emissions outlet is found behind the front
wheel on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
! Operating the auxiliary heating/ventila-
tion draws on the vehicle battery. After you have heated or ventilated the vehicle a
maximum of two times, drive for a longer
distance.
Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly once a month for about ten minutes.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the vehi-
cle interior to the set temperature. This
occurs without using the heat of the running
engine. The auxiliary heating is operated
directly using the vehicle's fuel. For this rea-
son, the tank content must be at least at
reserve fuel level to ensure that the auxiliary
heating functions.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation
automatically adjusts to changes in temper-
ature and weather conditions. For this rea-
son, the auxiliary heating could switch from
ventilation mode to heating mode or from
heating mode to ventilation mode.
The auxiliary heating switches off when the
engine is switched off. The auxiliary ventila-
tion is not active if the engine is running.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation
switches off automatically after 50 minutes.
This time limit can be altered. To do this, visit a qualified specialist workshop.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to
cool the vehicle interior to a temperature
lower than the outside temperature. 178

The starter battery is not sufficiently charged.
X Charge the starter battery.
X Make another attempt to switch on the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation using the remote control. The auxiliary heating cannot be switched on or has switched itself

The fuel tank content is below the reserve fuel level.
X Refuel at the nearest filling station.
X Make another attempt to switch on the auxiliary heating using

The auxiliary heating is faulty.
X Have the auxiliary heating checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. Adjusting the air vents
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air out-
lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior. In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
R keep the air inlet between the windscreen
and the bonnet free of blockages, such as
ice, snow or leaves
R never cover the vents or ventilation grilles
in the vehicle interior Adjusting the air vents

MSolutions The engine does not
start. The HOLD function or DISTRONIC PLUS is activated.
X Deactivate the HOLD function (Y page 247) or DISTRONIC
PLUS (Y page 236).
X Try to start the engine again (Y page 189).The engine does not
start. The starter motor
can be heard. R
There is a malfunction in the engine electronics.
R There is a malfunction in the fuel supply.
Before attempting to start the engine again:
X Turn the key back to position 0in the ignition lock.
or
X Press the Start/Stop button repeatedly until all indicator lamps
in the instrument cluster go out.
X Try to start the engine again (Y page 189). Avoid excessively
long and frequent attempts to start the engine, as this will drain the battery.
If the engine does not start after several attempts: X Consult a qualified specialist workshop. The engine does not
start. The starter motor
can be heard. The
reserve fuel warning
lamp is lit and the fuel
gauge display is at the
reserve level. The fuel tank is empty.
X Refuel the vehicle. The engine does not
start. You cannot hear
the starter motor. The on-board voltage is too low because the battery is too weak or
discharged.
X Jump-start the vehicle (Y page 443).
If the engine does not start despite attempts to jump-start it:
X Consult a qualified specialist workshop. The starter motor was exposed to a thermal load that was too high.
X Try to start the engine again (Y page 189).
If the engine still does not start: X Consult a qualified specialist workshop. 194

lamp in the instrument cluster lights up
(Y page 384). The ECO display consists of three sections,
with an inner and outer area. The sections
correspond to the following three categories: :
Acceleration

acceleration processes):
R the outer area fills up and the
inner area lights up green: mod-

higher speeds
R the outer area empties and the
inner area is grey: sporty accel-

Coasting
(evaluation of all decel-
eration processes):
R the outer area fills up and the
inner area lights up green: antic-
ipatory driving, keeping your dis- tance and early release of the
accelerator. The vehicle can
coast without use of the brakes.
R the outer area empties and the
inner area is grey: frequent heavy

Constant
(continuous evaluation
over the entire journey):
R the outer area fills up and the
inner area lights up green: con-
stant speed and avoidance of
unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration
R the outer area empties and the
inner area is grey: fluctuations in
speed The three inner areas display the current driv-
ing style and light up green as a result of a
particularly economical driving style.
Depending on the driving situation, up to two
areas may light up simultaneously.
At the beginning of the journey, the three
outer areas are empty and fill up as a result of economical driving. A higher level indicates a more economical driving style. If the three
outer areas are completely filled at the same Driving tips
