easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake. Activate the manual
parking brake without pressing the release button. Apply as
firmly as possible on a downhill slope or uphill slope. Depress
brake pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage

Stop-start system 3 136.Seat belts
The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle holding the occupants in
the sitting position. Therefore the risk
of injury is considerably reduced.
9 Warning
Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people
not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time. Child
restraint system 3 50.
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage, pollution and
proper functionality.
Have damaged components
replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt pretensioners replaced by a workshop.
Note
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from
getting into the belt retractors.
Seat belt reminder
Each seat is equipped with a seat belt
reminder, indicated for driver seat as
control indicator X in the tachometer
3 91, and for front passenger seat
as control indicator k in the centre

Information Centre 3 97.
82Instruments and controlsSet time and date
To adjust the time and date settings,
tap on the H and I screen buttons.
RDS clock synchronization
The RDS signal of most VHF
transmitters automatically sets the
time. RDS time synchronisation can take a few minutes. Some
transmitters do not send a correct
time signal. In such cases, it is
recommended to switch off the
automatic time synchronisation.
To activate or deactivate RDS clock
synchronization , tap on the screen
buttons On or Off.
Power outlets
A 12 Volt power outlet is located in the
centre console.
Do not exceed the maximum power
consumption of 120 watts.
With ignition off, the power outlet is
deactivated. Additionally, the power outlet is deactivated in the event of
low vehicle battery voltage.
Electrical accessories that are
connected must comply with the
electromagnetic compatibility
requirements laid down in
DIN VDE 40 839.
Do not connect any current-delivering accessories, e.g. electrical charging
devices or batteries.
Do not damage the outlet by using
unsuitable plugs.

Inductive charging9 Warning
Inductive charging can affect the
operation of implanted
pacemakers or other medical
devices. If applicable, seek
medical advice before using the
inductive charging device.

Climate control125Cooling n
Press n
to switch on cooling. The
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation. Cooling is only
functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press n again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons.
Activated cooling may inhibit
Autostops.
Stop-start system 3 136.
Air recirculation system 4
Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate activation.
Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.
9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air
humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen may mist
up from outside, when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and deactivate l.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
128Climate control
If the minimum temperature Lo is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum cooling if cooling n is
switched on.
If the maximum temperature Hi is set,
the climate control system runs at maximum heating.
Note
If n is switched on, reducing the set
cabin temperature can cause the
engine to restart from an Autostop or inhibit an Autostop.
