Stop-start system
If the vehicle is at low speed or in
standstill and certain conditions are
fulfilled, activate an Autostop as
follows:
■ Depress the clutch pedal
■ shift the selector lever to N
■ release the clutch pedal
An Autostop is indicated when Ï
illuminates green in the instrument
cluster.
To restart the engine, depress the clutch pedal again.
Stop-start system 3 111.
Parking9 Warning
■ Do not park the vehicle on an
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
first gear. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear.
Turn the front wheels towards
the kerb.
■ Close the windows.
■ Lock the vehicle 3 19.
■ Activate the anti-theft alarm system
3 27.
■ The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switchedoff 3 136.
■ After running at high engine speeds
or with high engine loads, operate
the engine briefly at a low load or
run in neutral for approx.
30 seconds before switching off, in
order to protect the turbocharger.
Keys, locks 3 18, Laying the vehicle
up for a long period of time 3 135.
28Keys, doors and windows
■ Load compartment
■ Vehicle inclination, e.g. if it is raised
■ Ignition
■ Interruption of alarm siren power supply
Activation
All doors and the bonnet must be
closed.
Press button e to activate anti-theft
alarm system. Hazard warning lights
flash twice to confirm activation.
If the hazard warning lights do not flash upon activation, a door or the
bonnet is not fully closed.
Notice
Changes to the vehicle interior, e.g.
the use of seat covers, and open
windows, could impair the function
of passenger compartment
monitoring.
Deactivation
Unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition deactivates the anti-theft
alarm system. Hazard warning lights flash once to confirm deactivation.
Notice
If the alarm has been triggered,
unlocking the vehicle with the key
will not stop the alarm siren. To stop
the siren, switch on the ignition. The hazard warning lights will not flash
upon deactivation if the alarm has
been triggered.
Activation without monitoring of
passenger compartment
Switch off monitoring of the
passenger compartment when
people or animals are being left in the
vehicle, or if the auxiliary heater
3 102 is set for a timed or remote
controlled start.
Depending on vehicle configuration:
■ press and hold button e, or
■ switch ignition on and off twice quickly, then close doors and
activate the anti-theft alarm system.
An audible signal will sound as
confirmation.
The status will remain until the doors
are unlocked.

Climate control97
■Switch on heated rear window Ü.
■ Open side air vents as required and
direct them towards door windows.
■ 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

Heating will not be fully effective until
the engine has reached normal
operating temperature.
If the minimum temperature of 15 ℃
is set, the electronic climate control
system runs at maximum cooling.
If the maximum temperature of 27 ℃
is set, the electronic climate control
system runs at maximum heating.
Notice
If the temperature is to be reduced
for climate comfort reasons, an
Autostop can be inhibited or the
engine will restart automatically
when cooling is switched on.
Stop-start system 3 111.
Fan speed
The selected fan speed is indicated
with x in the display.
If the fan is switched off the air
conditioning is also deactivated.
To return to automatic mode: Press
AUTO button.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows
Press the V button.
Temperature and air distribution are
set automatically and the fan runs at
a high speed.
To return to automatic mode: press
button V or AUTO .
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.
Air distribution
Press s or K repeatedly.
Arrows shown in the display indicate
the distribution settings.Cooling
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) when outside
temperature is above a specific level. Therefore condensation may form
and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required
press AC OFF to switch the cooling
system off, thus saving fuel.
Manual air recirculation mode
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
