The preselected temperature is
automatically regulated. In automatic
mode, the fan speed and air
distribution automatically regulate the
air flow.
The system can be manually adapted by use of air distribution and air flow
controls.
The electronic climate control system
is only fully operational when the
engine is running.
For correct operation do not cover the
sensor on the instrument panel.
Automatic mode
Basic setting for maximum comfort: ● Press AUTO ("AUTO" appears in
the display).
● Set desired temperature (the temperature appears in the
display).
● Open all air vents.

106Climate controlDuring automatic mode, the settings
for fan speed, air distribution, air
conditioning and air recirculation are
automatically regulated by the system and are not shown on the display.
Temperature preselection
Temperatures can be set to the

below the display.
For reasons of comfort, change
temperature only in small increments.red:warmblue:cold
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

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.

Climate control109Additional air conditioning is supplied
to the rear passenger compartment
via the overhead air vents.
Fan speed
Adjust the air flow to select the
desired speed.
turn clockwise:increase air flowturn anti-clock‐
wise:decrease air flow
Combi
Additional air conditioning is supplied
to the rear passenger compartment
via the air vents located above the
driver and front passenger
compartment.
With the front passenger
compartment air conditioning system
switched on, adjust the air flow to
select the desired speed.
Ensure the air vents are open when in use, to prevent ice forming in the
system due to lack of air movement.
Auxiliary 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 and the
air distribution to V.
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.

112Climate control● Select P in the menu bar and
confirm.
● Select desired preset memory number 1, 2 or 3 and confirm.
● Select day and confirm.
● Select hour and confirm.
● Select minutes and confirm.
● Select Y or x and confirm.
● If necessary, adjust the runtime duration prior to departure and
confirm.
The next preset memory number to
be activated is underlined and the
weekday is displayed. Repeat the
procedure to programme the other
preset memory numbers.
Pressing X during the procedure will
exit without storing programme
adjustments.
To delete a preset departure time,
follow the steps for programming until
heating symbol Y flashes. Press q
or r until oFF appears in the display
and confirm.
Heating stops automatically
5 minutes after the programmed departure time.Notice
The remote control system features
a temperature sensor which
calculates the runtime according to
the ambient temperature and the desired heating level (ECO or
HIGH). The system starts
automatically between 5 and
60 minutes prior to the programmed
departure time.

Heating level Y
The preferred heating level for
programmed departure times can be set to either ECO or HIGH.Select Y and confirm. ECO or HIGH

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

Driving and operating117than 15 seconds, damage mayoccur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.Starting 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.

Manual transmission: operate clutch.
Manual transmission automated:

automatically shifts to N.
Do not accelerate.
Turn the key to position 2 for
preheating, and hold until control
indicator N extinguishes from the
Driver Information Centre (DIC).
Turn key to position 3 and release.
The increased engine speed
automatically returns to normal idling
speed as the engine temperature
rises.
Start attempts should not last longer
than 15 seconds. If engine does not
start, wait 15 seconds before
repeating starting procedure. If
necessary, depress accelerator
before repeating starting procedure.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn key back to 0.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal. Stop-start system 3 119.
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.Idle speed control
To increase the idle speed press the
switch. After a few seconds the
function will be activated.
The function will be deactivated
when:
● The clutch pedal is depressed.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed.
● MTA is not in N (neutral).
● Vehicle speed is above 0 mph. ● Control indicator A, W or C
illuminate in the instrument
cluster.
