Air heater
Quickheat is an electric auxiliary air
heater which automatically warms up
the passenger compartment more
quickly.Air vents
Adjustable air vents
Air vents in the instrument panel
Direct the flow of air by tilting and
swivelling the slats.
To close the vent, swivel the slats
inwards.
Driving and operating135Starting the vehicle at lowtemperatures
Starting the engine without additional
heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C for petrol
engines. Required is an engine oil
with the correct viscosity, the correct fuel, performed services and a
sufficiently charged vehicle battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C the
automatic transmission requires a
warming phase of approx. 5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in position
P .
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully
protect the engine.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle
is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator pedal is released.Depending on driving conditions, the
overrun cut-off may be deactivated.
Stop-start system
The stop-start system helps to save
fuel and to reduce the exhaust
emissions. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as the
vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam.
Activation The stop-start system is available as
soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.
The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the button Ò is not
illuminated. To activate the system
when the system is deactivated,
press Ó.
If the stop-start system is temporarily
not available and the button Ò is
pressed, the LED in the button
flashes.Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing Ò. The
deactivation is indicated when the
LED in the button illuminates.
Autostop
Vehicles with manual transmission
An Autostop can be activated at a
standstill.
Activate an Autostop as follows: ● Depress the clutch pedal.
● Set the selector lever to neutral.
● Release the clutch pedal.
136Driving and operatingThe engine will be switched off while
the 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.
Climate control 3 120.
Immediately after higher speed
driving an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 131.
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.
140Driving and operatingCaution
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.
The typical AdBlue consumption is
approx. 0.85 l per 1000 km, but can
also be higher depending on driving
behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).
Level warnings
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.
1. The first possible warning is Top
up emissions additive: Starting
prevented in 2400 km .
When switching on the ignition,
this warning will show up once
briefly with the calculated range.
Additionally, control indicator u
will illuminate and a chime will
sound. Driving is possible without
any restrictions.
When driving, the message is
displayed every 300 km until the
additive tank has been topped-up.
2. The next warning level is entered with a range below 600 km. Themessage with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Additionally, control indicator u
will flash and a chime will sound.
Refill AdBlue before entering the
next warning level.
When driving, the message is
displayed every 30 seconds until
the additive tank has been
topped-up.
3. The last warning level is entered when the AdBlue tank is empty.
Restart of the engine is not
possible. The following warning
message will be displayed:Top up emissions additive:
Starting prevented
Additionally, control indicator u
will flash and a chime will sound.
Refill the tank to a level of at least
5 l of AdBlue, otherwise restarting
of the engine is not possible.
High emission warnings In the event of a fault with the
emissions control system, different
messages are displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The messages
and the restrictions are a legal
requirement.
1. If a fault is detected for the first time, the warning Emissions fault
is displayed.
Additionally, control indicators u,
C and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound. Driving is
possible without any restrictions.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next
journey, after self-diagnosis of the emissions control system.
2. If the fault is confirmed by the emission control system, the
190Driving and operatingapplication of the special servicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
For more information, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.Caution
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure
or diluted, domestic fuel etc.) is
strictly prohibited (risk of damage
to the engine and fuel system).
Note
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the
B715000 standard.
Low temperature operation
At temperatures below 0 °C, some
diesel products with biodiesel blends may clog, freeze or gel, which mayaffect the fuel supply system. Starting
and engine operation may not work
properly. Make sure to fill winter
grade diesel fuel at ambient
temperatures below 0 °C.
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
in extreme cold temperatures below
-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor starting or damage on the fuel
injection system.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
ignition and any external heaters
with combustion chambers.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
A label with symbols at the fuel filler
flap is indicating the allowed fuel
types. In Europe the pump nozzles of the filling stations are marked with
these symbols. Refuel only the
allowed fuel type.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Fuel filler flap is located at right rear
side of vehicle.
