Air distribution controlRead and observe
on page 94 first.
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the in-
terior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.
Heating and manual air conditioning system
›
To switch on press the 
button.
›
To switch off , press the 
button again.
If the air distribution control is set to position 
when the recirculation modes
is switched on, the recirculated-air mode is switched off.
By pressing the  button, the air recirculation also in this position can be
switched on again.
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
›
To turn the recirculation mode on, press the Symbol key
 repeatedly until
the indicator light is lit on the left side of the button.
›
To activate the automatic recirculation mode, press the Symbol key
 re-
peatedly until the indicator light is lit on the right side of the button.
The Climatronic can have a sensor that measures the air recirculation mode
and automatically turns on if there is an increased concentration of pollutants
in the incoming air.
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recircula-
ted air mode is automatically switched off.
If the air quality sensor does not automatically switch on the recirculated air mode, you can switch it on yourself by pressing the button . The indicator
light lights up in the button on the left side.
To turn off the air recirculation or to deactivate the automatic air recircula-
tion , press the
 button of press the
 symbol button repeatedly until the
warning lights in the button go out.
WARNINGThe recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because no fresh air is fed through from the outside. “Stale air” may result
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as windows mist up, turn on the re-
circulation system immediately - There is a risk of accident!CAUTIONWe recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from the interior is deposited on the evapo-
rator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the air
conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through consid-
erable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
The Climatronic automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside
temperature is higher than approx. 2 °C.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Starting / stopping the engine
101
Problems with the engine start - vehicles with starter button
102
Depending on equipment fitted, it is possible to switch the ignition on/off and
start/stop the engine with the key in the ignition or using the starter button .
WARNING■
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary – There is a
risk of accident!■
While driving with the engine stopped the ignition must always be
switched on. Otherwise, the steering may lock - There is a risk of an acci-
dent!
■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop » page 105, Parking . Otherwise, the steering may lock -
danger of an accident!
■
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - there is a
risk of theft etc!
■
Never (e.g. in garages) run the engine in a closed place - there is a risk of
poisoning and death!
CAUTION
■ Only start the engine when the engine and the vehicle are stationary - there
is a risk of starter and engine damage!■
Do not push-start the engine – There is a risk of damaging the engine and
the catalytic converter! The battery from another vehicle can be used as a
jump-start aid.
■
On vehicles with the starter button, pay attention to where the key is loca-
ted. The system can recognize the valid key, even if it has been accidentally
left on the vehicle roof - there is danger of loss or damage to the key!
NoteDo not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start
your journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this, the engine rea-
ches its operating temperature faster.
Electronic immobiliser and steering lock
Read and observe
and on page 100 first.
The electronic immobilizer (hereafter referred to as immobilizer) makes the
theft or unauthorised use of your vehicle more difficult.
Immobilizer
The immobilizer allows the engine to start provided an original vehicle key only
is used.
Malfunction of the immobilizer
If a component in the immobiliser key fails, it is not possible to start the en-
gine. A corresponding message appears in the display of the instrument clus-
ter to explain the immobiliser is active.
To start, use the other vehicle key or seek help from a specialist garage.
Steering lock - lock
›
On vehicles with ignition lock, remove the key and turn the steering wheel
until the steering lock engages.
›
On vehicles with a starter button, switch off the ignition and open the driv-
er's door. If the driver's door is opened and the ignition is switched off after-
wards, the steering is only locked automatically after the vehicle has been
locked.
Steering lock - unlock
›
On vehicles with ignition lock, insert the key into the ignition and turn on the
ignition. If this is not possible, then move the steering wheel slightly back
and forth, as a result of which the steering lock should unlock.
›
On vehicles with starter button, get into the car and close the driver's door.
Under certain circumstances, the steering lock can be unlocked only when
the ignition is switched on or the engine is started.
WARNINGNever let the vehicle roll with locked steering lock - there is a risk of acci-
dent!100Driving

Do not switch the engine off immediately at the end of your journey if the en-
gine has been working at high revs over a prolonged period, but leave it to run
at an idling speed for about 1 minute. This prevents any possible accumulation
of heat when the engine is switched off.
Emergency shutdown of the engine in vehicles with starter button
