Heating and ventilation system
Controls for: ● air distribution
● temperature
● fan speed
● demisting and defrosting
Heated rear window Ü 3 32.
Temperature
red:warmblue:coldHeating will not be fully effective until
the engine has reached normal
operating temperature.
Air distributionl:to windscreen and front door
windowsM:to head areaK:to foot well and windscreen
Combination settings are possible.
Fan speed
Adjust the air flow by switching the fan
to the desired speed.
Demisting and defrosting ● Press V: fan automatically
switches to higher speed, the air
distribution is directed towards
the windscreen.
● Set temperature control to warmest level.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü.
● Open side air vents as required and direct them towards the doorwindows.
122Climate control9Warning
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.
Air conditioning with the engine
not running
When ignition is off, the residual heat
or cooling in the system can be used for climate control in passenger
compartment.
Auxiliary heater Air heater Quickheat is an electric auxiliary air
heater which automatically warms up
the passenger compartment more
quickly.
Air vents
Adjustable air vents At least one air vent must be open
while the cooling is on.
To open the vent, turn the adjuster
wheel to the right. Adjust the air
amount at the vent outlet by turning
the adjuster wheel.
Direct the flow of air by tilting and
swivelling the slats.
To close the vent, turn the adjuster
wheel to the left.
9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Fixed air vents
Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door windows and in the foot wells.
128Driving and operatingThe engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position in
the tachometer.
During an Autostop, the heating
performance, power steering and
brake performance will be
maintained.
Conditions 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 driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened.
● The vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition.
● The engine is warmed up.
● The engine coolant temperature is not too high.
● The engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load.
● The ambient temperature is above -5 °C.
● The climate control system allows an Autostop.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.
● The self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active.
● The vehicle was driven at least at
walking speed 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 more
details 3 118.Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 125.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection
features are implemented as part of
the stop-start system.
Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features such as auxiliary electric
heater or rear window heating are
disabled or switched into a power
saving mode. The fan speed of the
climate control system is reduced to
save power.
Restart of the engine by the driver Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
The engine start is indicated by the
needle at the idle speed position in
the tachometer.
