required. Therefore condensation
may form and is drained under the
vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons.

Auxiliary heater Air heater
Quickheat is an electric auxiliary air
heater which automatically warms up the passenger compartment more
quickly.Air vents
Adjustable air ventsFront air vents
To open the vent, turn the adjuster
wheel to B. Adjust the air amount at the
vent outlet by turning the adjuster
wheel.

152Climate control
Direct the flow of air by tilting and
swivelling the slats.
To close the vent, turn the adjuster
wheel to 7.
Rear air vents
Air vents for rear passenger are in the
centre console between the front
seats.
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.
Maintenance
Air intake
The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter Cabin air filtration A particle filter cleans the cabin air
from dust, soot, pollen and spores.

Climate control153Active carbon filter
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 checkNotice
Refrigerant R-134a contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases.

Driving and operating161● The climate control systemallows 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 3 140.
Immediately after motorway driving,
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 155.
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 e.g. auxiliary electric heater
or heated rear window are disabled orswitched to 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.
If the selector lever is shifted out of
neutral before depressing the clutch
first, control indicator - illuminates
or is shown as a symbol in the Driver
Information Centre.
Control indicator - 3 105.
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
The selector lever must be in neutral
to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system:● The stop-start system is manually deactivated.
● The bonnet is opened.
● The driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door
is opened.
● The engine temperature is too low.
● The charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level.
● The brake vacuum is not sufficient.
● The vehicle is driven at least at walking speed.
● The climate control system requests an engine start.
● The air conditioning is manually switched on.
If the bonnet is not fully closed, a warning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart might be noticeable.
