Instruments and controls93Trip computer
The trip computer provides
information on driving data, which is
continually recorded and evaluated electronically.
Depending on vehicle, the following
functions can be selected by pressing button repeatedly on end of wiper
lever:
● odometer 3 80
● fuel used
● average consumption
● instantaneous consumption
● range
● trip odometer
● average speed
● distance before service 3 81
● clock 3 77, outside temperature
3 77
● cruise control and speed limiter stored speed 3 133
● fuel economy rating
● Adblue percentage remaining 3 123
● fault and information messages
Fuel used Displays the amount of fuel
consumed since the last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at any time by pressing and holding the
button.
Average consumption The value is displayed after driving a
distance of 0.25 miles.
Average consumption is displayed, taking into consideration the distance
travelled and the fuel used since the
last reset.The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Instantaneous consumption
The value is displayed after reaching
a speed of 20 mph.
Range The value is displayed after driving a
distance of 0.25 miles.
The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.
The range will not display if control
indicator Y is illuminated in the
instrument cluster 3 89.
Trip odometer Displays the distance driven since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Trip odometer 3 80.
94Instruments and controlsAverage speedThe value is displayed after driving a
distance of 0.25 miles.
The average speed since the last
reset is displayed.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Interruptions in the journey with the
ignition off are not included in the
calculations.
Reset trip computer information
To reset the trip computer, select one of its functions then press and hold
the button on the end of the wiper
lever.
The following trip computer
information will be reset:
● fuel used
● average consumption
● trip odometer
● average speed
The trip computer will reset
automatically when the maximum
value of any of the parameters is
exceeded.Fuel economy rating (ecoScoring)
If equipped, a rating of 0 to 100 is
shown in the Info-Display to help
evaluate fuel efficiency, based on your driving style.
Higher ratings indicate better fuel economy.
Tips to improve fuel economy are also given in the Info-Display. Journeys
can be saved in the system memory,
enabling you to compare
performances. Refer to Infotainment
system manual for further
information.

Journey record
When the engine is switched off, a record of the last journey is shown in
the Info-Display.
The following information is
displayed:
● average fuel consumption
● total fuel consumption
● trip odometer
● fuel saved in milesUnit of measurement
To change the unit of measurementfor the duration of a journey:
Vehicles with power button:
With ignition off, simultaneously press and hold button on end of wiper lever
and press the power button 3 116;
the central display flashes for approx.
10 seconds until the new unit is
displayed. Release button on end of
wiper lever when the display stops
flashing.
Vehicles without power button:
With ignition off, simultaneously press and hold button on end of wiper lever
and switch on the ignition; the central display flashes for approx.
10 seconds until the new unit is
displayed. Release button on end of
wiper lever when the display stops
flashing.
When the engine is switched off, the
trip computer automatically returns to
the original unit of measurement.
104Climate control● Open side air vents as requiredand direct them towards door
windows.
● For simultaneous warming of the
foot well, set air distribution
control to J.
Heated rear window 3 41.
Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
A/C:cooling4:air recirculation
Heated seats 3 46.
Cooling (A/C)
Press A/C to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by illumination
of the LED in the button. Cooling is
only functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is
switched on.
Press A/C again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air 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,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
may inhibit an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 119.
Notice
Air conditioning performance is
reduced when ECO mode has been
activated 3 114.
Air recirculation system 4
Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. Activation is indicated by
illumination of the LED in the button.Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.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 from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and avoid the use
of air distribution settings J and V.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.
● Cooling A/C on.
● Air recirculation system 4 on.
● Set air distribution control to M.
106Climate controlIf the minimum temperature is set, the
climate control system runs at
maximum cooling.
If the maximum temperature is set, the climate control system runs at
maximum heating.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows
● Press Ê; LED illuminates in the
button when activated.
● Temperature, air distribution and cooling are regulated
automatically and the fan runs at
high speed.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü

To return to Automatic mode: press
Ê or AUTO .
Notice
If Ê is pressed while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be inhibited until Ê is pressed again.
If Ê is pressed while the engine is in
an Autostop, the engine will restart
automatically.

108Climate controlAuxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant
heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine
running.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat, set the
air distribution to V and turn the fan
on.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units
The timer or remote control unit turns the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.

9 Warning
When refuelling, switch off the
remote control unit as well as the
heater!
The remote control has a maximum
range of 1000 metres. The range may
be reduced due to environmental
conditions and as the battery
becomes weaker.

ECO mode
ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
Activation
Press ECO. Control indicator ECO
illuminates in the instrument cluster when activated.
116Driving and operatingStarting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period, fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of
the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging the
vehicle battery.
