18In briefParking9Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake. Activate the parking
brake without pressing the
release button. Apply as firmly
as possible on a downhill slope
or uphill slope. Depress brake
pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector
lever to position P before
removing the ignition key. On
an uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position P before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close the windows and the sunroof.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. For vehicles
with automatic transmission,
the key can only be removed
when the selector lever is in
position P.
Turn the steering wheel until
the steering wheel lock is felt to engage.
● Lock the vehicle with e on the
radio remote control.
Activate the anti-theft alarm
system 3 29.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 179.
Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx.30 seconds before switching off, in
order to protect the turbocharger.

Climate control127Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
n:cooling4:air recirculation
Cooling n
Press n to switch on cooling. The
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation. Cooling is only
functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press n again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
may inhibit Autostops.
Stop-start system 3 138.
Air recirculation system 4
Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. The LED in the button illuminates to indicate activation.
Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.9 Warning
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.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen may mist
up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and deactivate l.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
● Switch on cooling n.
● Air recirculation system 4 on.
● Press air distribution switch M.
● Set temperature control to coldest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Open all vents.
Climate control129Automatic mode AUTOBasic setting for maximum comfort: ● Press AUTO: the air distribution
and fan speed are regulated
automatically.
● Open all air vents.
● Press n to switch on cooling.
● Set the desired temperature.
Temperature preselection
Temperatures can be set to the
desired value.
If the minimum temperature is set, the climate control system runs at
maximum cooling.
If the maximum temperature is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum heating.
Notice
If the temperature is to be reduced for climate comfort reasons, an
Autostop may be inhibited or the
engine will restart automatically
when cooling is switched on.
Stop-start system 3 138.The temperature can be adjusted
separately for driver and front
passenger side.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows V
● Press V.
● Temperature and air distribution are set automatically and the fan
runs at high speed.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü.
● To return to previous mode: press V, to return to automatic
mode: press AUTO.
Notice
If V is pressed while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be inhibited
until V is pressed again.
If l is pressed with the fan switched
on and the engine running, an
Autostop will be inhibited until l is
pressed again or until the fan is
switched off.If V is pressed while the engine is
in an Autostop, the engine will restart automatically.
If l is pressed with the fan switched
on while the engine is in an
Autostop, the engine will restart
automatically.
Stop-start system 3 138.

Eco appears in the display when
cooling is deactivated.
Air recirculation mode 4
Press 4 once to activate the
manual air recirculation mode.9 Warning
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.
Vehicle care179Vehicle checks
Performing work9 Warning
Only perform engine compartment
checks when the ignition is off.
The cooling fan may start
operating even if the ignition is off.
9 Danger
The ignition system and Xenon
headlights use extremely high
voltage. Do not touch.
Bonnet
Opening
Pull the release lever and return it to
its original position.
Move the safety catch sideways to the left vehicle side and open the bonnet.
Vehicle care181The engine oil filler cap is located on
the camshaft cover.Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out.
Capacities 3 231.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Engine coolant The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -30 °C. In
northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolant
provides frost protection down to
approx. -40 °C.
Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
Coolant and antifreeze 3 218.
Coolant levelCaution
Too low a coolant level can cause
engine damage.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be above the
filling line mark. Top up if the level is
low.
9 Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up use a 1:1 mixture of
released coolant concentrate mixed
with clean tap water. If no coolant
concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have
the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Power steering fluid
Caution
Extremely small amounts of
contamination can cause steering
system damage and cause it to not work properly. Do not allow
contaminates to contact the fluid
side of the reservoir cap/dipstick or
from entering the reservoir.
