Instruments and controls105Fuel economy rating (ecoScoring)
If equipped, a rating of 0 to 100 is
shown in the Infotainment system
display screen, to help evaluate fuel
efficiency, based on your driving
style.
Higher ratings indicate better fuel
economy.
Tips to improve fuel economy are also given in the display. Journeys can be
saved in the system memory,
enabling you to compare
performances. Refer to Infotainment
manual for further information.

Journey record
When the engine is switched off, a record of the last journey may be
shown in the Infotainment system
display screen.
The following information is
displayed:
● average fuel consumption
● trip odometer
● fuel saved in milesRefer to Infotainment manual for
further information.
Interruption of power supply
If the power supply has been
interrupted or if the vehicle battery
voltage has dropped too low, the
values stored in the trip computer will be lost.Tachograph

Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
A/C:coolingu:air recirculationHeated rear window Ü 3 39, Heated
seats ß 3 48.
Cooling (A/C)
Press A/C 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 A/C again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is a little above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Notice
If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the ambient temperature is high, an Autostop
may be inhibited until the required
temperature in the passenger
compartment has been reached.If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the engine is
in an Autostop, the engine may
restart automatically.
Stop-start system 3 135.
Air recirculation system Press u to activate air recirculation
mode. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate activation.
Press u 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. The quality
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hotair can disperse quickly.

Cooling
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) when outside
temperature is above a specific level. Therefore condensation may form
and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
press A/C OFF to switch the cooling
system off, thus saving fuel.

Rear heating system
If the engine is switched off, the rear
compartment can be heated by the
additional heating, through low level
vents.
By programming values using the
control panel, the user can adjust the
time, day and temperature settings.
Heating will cease to operate if the
vehicle fuel level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
Notice
If the rear heating system is
activated while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be
inhibited.
To ensure efficient performance, the low level air vents in the rear
passenger compartment must not be obstructed.

Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).

Stop-start system 3 135.
Combi
Additional air conditioning is supplied to the rear passenger compartment
via the air vents located above the
driver and front passenger
compartment.
With the front passenger
compartment air conditioning system
switched on, adjust the air flow to
select the desired speed.
Ensure the air vents are open when in
use, to prevent ice forming in the
system due to lack of air movement.
Auxiliary heaterCoolant heater
The engine-independent, fuel-
powered coolant heater provides
rapid heating of the engine coolant to
enable heating of the vehicle interior
without the engine running.
Notice
Depending on version, an additional
coolant heater may be switched on
automatically to speed up heating
when the ignition is on and the
outside temperature is below 5 ℃.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat, set the
air distribution to V and turn the fan
on.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
