Climate control127Air vents
Adjustable air vents At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on, in order to prevent
the evaporator from icing up due to
lack of air movement.9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Centre air vents
To open or close the centre air vents
and direct the flow of air, tilt the slats
up or down and turn the adjuster
wheel left or right.
Side air vents
To open or close the side air vents, tilt the slats up or down.
Direct the flow of air by rotating the
vents.
Depending upon the position of the
temperature control, air will be
directed into the vehicle via the side
air vents.
Rear air vents
Depending on vehicle, additional
adjustable air vents are located in the
rear passenger compartment.
Fixed air vents Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows, in the foot wells and,
depending on vehicle, in the rear
passenger compartment.

130Driving and operatingNote
The use of ECO mode may affect the performance of the climate control
system 3 116.
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
ECO extinguishes in the instrument
cluster.
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 may be a controlled
reduction in power steering assist and
vehicle speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 135.
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.
Driving downhill
Engage a gear when driving downhill
to ensure that sufficient brake
pressure is available.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
than 15 seconds, damage may
occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.

Driving and operating131Starting 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.
Stop-start system 3 135.
Diesel particle filter 3 138.
