● With exterior lights on.
● If the trailer hitch is not engaged.
During an Autostop ● If the driver's door is opened.
● If any condition for an autostart is
not fulfilled.
Battery voltage When the vehicle battery voltage isrunning low, a warning message will
appear in the Driver Information
Centre.1. Switch off any electrical consumers which are not requiredfor a safe ride, e.g. seat heating,
heated rear window or other main consumers.
2. Charge the vehicle battery by driving continuously for a while or
by using a charging device.
The warning message will disappear
after the engine has been started
twice without a voltage drop.
If the vehicle battery cannot be
recharged, have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.Vehicle personalisation
The vehicle's behaviour can be
personalised by changing the settings in the Colour-Info-Display.
Some of the personal settings for
different drivers can be memorised
individually for each vehicle key.
Memorised settings 3 24.
Depending on vehicle equipment and
country-specific regulations some of
the functions described below might
not be available.
Some functions are only displayed or
active when the engine is running.
Personal settings Following the changing of personal
settings is described via the buttons
below the display. This is valid for
4.2'' as well as 8'' Colour-Info-Display.
Additionally, the 8'' display is operable
as a touchscreen. See description

In addition to the particle filter, the active carbon filter reduces odours.
Air conditioning regularoperation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, it is
recommended that air conditioning
should be operated for a few minutes once a month, irrespective of the
weather and time of year.
Service For optimal cooling performance, it is recommended to annually check the
climate control system, 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 checkNote
