High beam
To change between low and high
beam, pull lever until a click is felt.
High beam assist This feature allows high beam to
function as the main driving light at
night and when vehicle speed is
faster than approx. 28 mph.
It switches to low beam when:
● A sensor detects the lights of oncoming or preceding vehicles.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.
If there are no restrictions detected, the system switches back to high
beam.
Activation
Turn the outer light switch to AUTO

forwards to activate high beam assist.
The control indicator í illuminates
continuously in the instrument cluster when the assist is activated, while the
blue control indicator 7 3 88
illuminates when high beam is on.

High beam assist is also deactivated when the outer light switch is moved
out of the AUTO position.
Notice
Depending on version, the system
can be also be deactivated via the
Infotainment system. Refer to
Infotainment system manual for
further information.

cool.
Maintenance
Air 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

116Driving and operatingDriving hints
Driving economically
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.
ActivationPress ECO. Control indicator
illuminates when activated and a corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre (DIC)
3 89.
During driving, it is possible to
temporarily disable ECO mode, e.g.
to increase engine performance, by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly.
ECO mode is reactivated when
pressure is reduced on the
accelerator pedal.
Deactivation
Press ECO again. Control indicator
extinguishes.
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 119.
Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver's side.
Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.Caution
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and
is held in that position for more
