soon as possible, to avoid prevention
of engine starts.
Illuminates together with control
indicator F to indicate a system
failure or as a warning that engine
starting may not be possible after a
certain distance. Seek the assistance
of a workshop immediately.

If control indicator I illuminates
when the engine is running (together
with control indicator C and a
warning chime): Stop, switch off
engine.Caution
Engine lubrication may be
interrupted. This may result in
damage to the engine and/or
locking of the drive wheels.
1. Depress clutch.
2. Select neutral gear (or move selector lever to N).
3. Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles.
4. Switch off ignition.
106Climate 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.Caution
Do not touch the exhaust pipe. It
may be hot even after the engine
has been switched off, due to
coolant heater operation.
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
9Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
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 turnsthe system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.Timer1 X

Driving and operating119Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled:
● the stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed-up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high
● the outside temperature is not too
low or too high (e.g. below 0 °C
or above 35 °C)
● the brake vacuum is sufficient
● the defrosting function is not activated 3 103
● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
3 120
● the Antilock brake system (ABS) 3 126, Traction Control system
(TC) 3 128 and ElectronicStability Program (ESP® Plus
)
3 129 ride control systems are
not actively engaged
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
" Climate control " chapter for further
information 3 103
Restart of the engine by the driver
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Notice
If any gear is selected, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed to
restart the engine.
Control indicator Ï 3 88 extinguishes
in the instrument cluster when the engine is restarted.
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
The selector lever must be in neutral
to enable an automatic restart.If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system:
● the stop-start system is manually
deactivated
● the bonnet is opened
● the vehicle battery is discharged
● the engine temperature is too low
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the vehicle starts to move
● the defrosting function is activated 3 103
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during engine restart may be
noticeable.
Fault
If a fault occurs in the stop-start
system, the LED in Î illuminates,
and a corresponding message
appears in the DIC 3 89. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.

Accessories and vehicle modifications
We recommend the use of genuine
parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Do not make any modifications to the
electrical system, e.g. changes of
electronic control units (chip tuning).Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
Vehicle storage
Storage for a long period of time
If the vehicle is to be stored for several months:
● Wash and wax the vehicle.
● Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
● Clean and preserve rubber seals.
● Fill up fuel tank completely.
● Change the engine oil.
● Drain the washer fluid reservoir. ● Check the coolant antifreeze and
corrosion protection.
● Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.
● Park vehicle in a dry, well ventilated place. Engage first or
reverse gear. Prevent the vehicle from rolling.
● Do not apply the parking brake.● Open the bonnet, close all doors and lock the vehicle.
● Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Beware that all systems
are not functional, e.g. anti-theft
alarm system.
Putting back into operation When the vehicle is to be put back into
operation:
● Connect the clamp to the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Activate the electronics
of the power windows.
● Check tyre pressure.
● Fill up the washer fluid reservoir.
● Check the engine oil level.
● Check the coolant level.
● Fit the number plate, if necessary.
