Keys, doors and windows27Activating
Press e on the radio remote control
twice.
Immobiliser
The system is part of the ignition
switch and checks whether the
vehicle is allowed to be started with the key being used.
The immobiliser is activated
automatically after the key has been
removed from the ignition switch.
If the control indicator d illuminates
when starting, there is a fault in the
system; the engine cannot be started. Switch off the ignition and repeat the
start attempt.
If d remains illuminated, attempt to
start the engine using the spare key
and seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Notice
The immobiliser does not lock the
doors. Always lock the vehicle after
leaving it 3 21.
Control indicator d 3 83.Exterior mirrors
Convex shape The convex exterior mirror contains
an aspherical area and reduces blind spots. The shape of the mirror makes
objects appear smaller, which will
affect the ability to estimate
distances.
Manual adjustment
Adjust mirrors by swivelling lever in
required direction.
The lower mirrors are not adjustable.

Instruments and controls73Caution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
engine. Danger to engine. Check
coolant level.
Service display
Service display is available in
vehicles with Multifunction version of the Driver Information Centre (DIC)3 85.
When the ignition is switched on, the remaining distance before the next
service is due is shown briefly. Based
on driving conditions, the interval at
which a service will be indicated can
vary considerably.
When the remaining distance before
the next service is less than
1,250 miles, Serv. appears in the DIC.
The service reminder is repeated
after every additional 125 miles and becomes more frequent when the
remaining distance is below
125 miles.
The vehicle needs a service. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
The remaining distance to the next
service may also be viewed in the DIC by selecting SERVICE from the
settings menu options 3 85.
Resetting the service display After a service, the service display
must be reset by a workshop.

106Climate controlMaintenanceAir intake
The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
Air conditioning regular
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 outside
temperature is too low.
ServiceFor optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended that the climate control system be checked annually, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check

Driving and operating109Starting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake.
Manual transmission automated: operate brake, the transmission
automatically shifts to N (neutral)
Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Diesel engine: turn the key to position1 for preheating until control
indicator ! extinguishes.
Turn the key briefly to position 2 and release.
Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn the key back to position
0.
Autostop
During an Autostop, the engine is
restarted automatically by depressing
the clutch pedal.
Vehicles with manual transmission
automated (MTA): Shift to a forward
gear, release brake pedal or move
lever to +, – or R to enable an
automatic restart.
Stop-start system 3 110.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged battery.
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.Vehicle shutdown
Fuel cut-off system In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.
Control indicator 9 illuminates if the
fuel cut-off switch is triggered and, depending on version, a
corresponding warning message may
also appear in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 85.
Generic warning control indicator 9
3 76.
Notice
In addition, the vehicle is
automatically unlocked and the
hazard warning flashers and interior lights are illuminated.
Turn the ignition key to position 0 to
prevent battery discharge and seek
the assistance of a workshop
immediately. Have the vehicle
checked for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment, beneath the vehicle
and near the fuel tank.
