Front seat heating
Overview
Switching on Press button once for each tempera‐
ture level.
The maximum temperature is reached when
three LEDs are lit.
If the trip is continued within approx. 15 mi‐
nutes, the seat heating is activated automati‐
cally with the temperature selected last.
When GREEN Mode, refer to page 167, is acti‐
vated, the heater output is reduced.
Switching off Press and hold the button, until the
LEDs are no longer illuminated.
Safety belts Number of safety beltsThe vehicle is fitted with four or five safety belts
to ensure occupant safety. However, they can
only offer protection when adjusted correctly.
The two outer safety belt buckles, integrated
into the rear seat, are for passengers sitting on
the left and right.
The center safety belt buckle of the rear seat is
solely intended for the person sitting in the
middle.
General information Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving off.
For the occupants' safety the belt locking
mechanism triggers early. Slowly guide the
safety belt out of the holder when applying it.
If needed, disengage the safety belt in the rear
from the belt buckle on the side.
Although airbags enhance safety by providing
added protection, they are not a substitute for
safety belts.Seite 51AdjustingCONTROLS51

Ventilation
Setting The air flow directions can be individually ad‐
justed:▷Direct ventilation:
The air flow is directly pointed onto the per‐
son. The air flow heats or cools noticeably,
depending on the adjusted temperature.▷Indirect ventilation:
If the vents are fully or partly closed, the air
is directly routed into the car's interior.Front ventilation▷Turn knob for continuous opening and clos‐
ing of the vents.▷Swivel the vents to alter the direction of the
vent flow, arrow.
Parked-car ventilation
The concept
The parked-car ventilation ventilates the vehi‐
cle interior and lowers its temperature, if needed.
The system can be switched on and off at any
external temperature, either directly or by us‐
ing two preset reel-on times. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.

The Coasting driving condition is enabled under
certain conditions.
Under certain conditions the engine is auto‐
matically decoupled from the transmission in
selector lever position D. The vehicle continues
traveling with the engine idling to reduce fuel
consumption. Selector lever position D remains
engaged. An indicator provides information
about the distance traveled in Coasting mode.
In addition, context-sensitive instructions are
displayed to assist with an optimized fuel con‐
sumption driving style.
The achieved extended range is displayed in
the instrument cluster.
Overview The system includes the following MINIMAL
functions and displays:▷GREEN bonus range, refer to page 169.▷GREEN tips driving instruction, refer to
