132Climate controlNote
Refrigerant R-134a may contain
fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential of 1430.
Front air conditioning system is filled
with 0.58 kg and has a CO 2
equivalent of 0.83 tonnes, the front
and rear air conditioning system in Combi variants is filled with 1.1 kg
and has a CO 2 equivalent of
1.57 tonnes and the front and rear air
conditioning system in Bus variants
is filled with 1.7 kg and has a CO 2
equivalent of 2.43 tonnes.
Depending on vehicle, information
regarding air conditioning refrigerant
appears on a label located in the
engine compartment.
134Driving and operatingDriving hints
Driving economically
ECO mode
ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
ActivationPress ECO. Control indicator
illuminates when activated and a corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre 3 103.
During driving, it is possible to
temporarily disable ECO mode, e.g.
to increase engine performance, by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly.
ECO mode is reactivated when
pressure is reduced on the
accelerator pedal.
Deactivation
Press ECO again. Control indicator
extinguishes.
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there may be a controlled
reduction in power steering assist and
vehicle speed is reduced.Stop-start system 3 137.
Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats which fit properly and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver's side.
Driving downhill
Engage a gear when driving downhill
to ensure that sufficient brake
pressure is available.
Steering If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.
Driving and operating139Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled,
otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited and control indicator \ will
illuminate in the instrument cluster.
● the stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high
● the ambient temperature is not too low
● the defrosting function is not activated
● the climate control system does not inhibit an Autostop
● the rear air conditioning system is
not activated
● the brake vacuum is sufficient● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
3 143
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
An Autostop may become
unavailable as the ambient
temperature approaches freezing
point.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may also inhibit an Autostop.
See "Climate control" chapter for
further information 3 117.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 135.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.Restart of the engine by the driverManual transmission
With the selector lever in neutral,
depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Note
If any gear is selected, the clutch
pedal must be fully depressed to
restart the engine.
If the engine does not restart first
time, depress clutch pedal fully again.Manual transmission automated
With the selector lever in position N
(or A/M ) and the parking brake
released, release the brake pedal to
restart the engine.
Engaging reverse gear or depressing the accelerator pedal may also restart the engine.
The green control indicator Ï will
extinguish in the instrument cluster
when the engine is restarted. If
certain conditions are not fulfilled, a
restart will not take place; start using
the ignition key.
Starting the engine 3 136.
196Vehicle carePlace the fuse extractor on the
various types of fuse from the top or
side, and withdraw fuse.
