Climate control119Air vent in the glovebox
The air vent can be opened or closedby turning.
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.
Cabin air filter
Change filter regulary for maximum
effect.
More frequent passenger
compartment air filter replacement
may be needed, if you drive in areas
with heavy traffic, poor air quality,
areas with high dust levels or which
are sensitive to environmental
allergens.
Passenger compartment air filter
replacement may also be needed if
there is reduced air flow, windows
fogging up, or odors.
Your dealer can help to determine
when it is the right time to replace the
filter.
Air conditioning regularoperation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when the
outside temperature is too low.
Service For optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended to annually check the
climate control system, starting 3
years after initial vehicle registration, including:
Driving and operating127The engine will be switched off whilethe ignition stays on.Vehicles with automatic transmission
If the vehicle is at a standstill with
depressed brake pedal, Autostop is
activated automatically.
The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.
The stop-start system will be disabled
on inclines of 12% or more.
Indication
An Autostop is indicated by control
indicator D.
During an Autostop, the heating and
brake performance will be
maintained.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled.
● The stop-start system is not manually deactivated.
● The driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened.
● The vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition.
● The engine is warmed up.
● The engine coolant temperature is not too high.
● The engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load.
● The ambient temperature is not too low or too high.
● The climate control system allows an Autostop.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.
● The self-cleaning function of the exhaust filter is not active.
● The vehicle was driven at least at
walking speed since the last
Autostop.
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.Note
The Autostop may be inhibited for
several hours after a battery
replacement or reconnection.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
Climate control chapter for more
details 3 110.
If an autostop is temporarily not
available, D flashes green 3 86.
Immediately after driving at a higher
speed an Autostop may be inhibited.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features such as auxiliary electric
heater or rear window heating are
disabled or switched to a power
saving mode. The fan speed of the
climate control system is reduced to
save power.
Driving and operating131Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork withAdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
Level warnings
The AdBlue consumption is approx.
1.5 l per 1000 km. The consumption
can be higher depending on driving
behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).
Depending on the calculated range of
AdBlue, different messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The messages and the
restrictions are a legal requirement.
The first possible warning message
appears at an AdBlue range below
2400 km, shows up at each start and
each 300 km range reduction:
Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible in 2400 km
Additionally, control indicator Y
illuminates continuously and a chime
sounds with every message pop-up.
At an AdBlue range below 600 km,
the following warning message is
being displayed, shows up at each
start and each 20 km range reduction:
Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible in
600 km
Additionally, control indicator Y
flashes continuously and a chime sounds with every message pop-up.
Note
In case of high AdBlue consumption, the Driver Information Centre may
display this warning without the
previous warning stages.
The last warning level is entered
when the AdBlue tank is empty.
Restart of the engine is not possible.
The following warning message is
being displayed and cannot be
dismissed:
Top up AdBlue: Starting impossibleAdditionally, control indicator Y
flashes continuously and engine cannot be restarted until AdBlue tank
is being filled with at least 5 l.
High emission warnings
If the exhaust emission rises above a certain value, warnings similar to the
range warnings will be displayed in
the Driver Information Centre.
Requests to have the exhaust system
checked and finally the
announcement of the prevention of
an engine restart are displayed.
These restrictions are a legal
requirement.
Consult a workshop for assistance.
Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
