Problems with the seat heating or seat ventilation
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
0050
0050Solutions The seat heating or seat
ventilation has switched
off prematurely or can-
not be switched on. The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical consum-
ers are switched on.
X Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as the
rear window defroster or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the seat heating or seat
ventilation will switch back on automatically. AIRSCARF (Roadster)

WARNING
When AIRSCARF is switched on, very hot air
can flow from the vents in the head restraints. This could result in burns in the immediate
vicinity of the air vents. There is a risk of injury.
Reduce the heater output before it becomes
too hot.
The AIRSCARF function warms the head and
neck area of vehicle occupants with warm air.
The warm air flows out of the holes in the head
restraints.
The three red indicator lamps in the button indi- cate the heating level you have selected. X
Make sure that the SmartKey is in position 0047
or 0048 in the ignition lock.
X To switch on: press button0043.
Three red indicator lamps in the button light
up. The blower starts up after a preheating
phase of seven seconds.
X Press button 0043repeatedly until the desired
heating level is set.
X To switch off: press button0043repeatedly
until all the indicator lamps go out.
Make sure that no objects enter the front outlet.
i The blower continues running for seven sec-
onds to cool down the heating elements.
i If the battery voltage is too low, AIRSCARF
may switch off. Seats

dent.
For this reason, always make sure of the
actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.

WARNING
After a short time, hill start assist will no lon-
ger brake your vehicle and it could roll away.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
Therefore, quickly move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Never
leave the vehicle when it is held by hill start
assist.
Hill start assist is not active if:
R you are pulling away on a level road or on a
downhill gradient
R the transmission is in position 005C
R the electric parking brake is applied
R ESP ®
is malfunctioning Rear axle steering
General notes Depending on the speed, rear axle steering
adapts the track of the rear axle to the position
of the front wheels. Together with the steering
angle of the front wheels, this results in greater mobility and stability than on vehicles without
rear axle steering.
Rear axle steering has the following character-
istics:
R reduced steering effort and turning circle,
resulting in reduced parking effort.
R improved driving stability, e.g. on curves.
R the vehicle has more direct steering. Control
of the vehicle is thereby increased. ECO start/stop function
Introduction The ECO start/stop function switches the
engine off automatically if the vehicle is stopped
under certain conditions.
The engine starts automatically when the driver
wants to pull away again. The ECO start/stop
function thereby helps you to reduce the fuel
consumption and emissions of your vehicle. Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the engine is switched off automatically and you exit the vehicle, the engine is restarted
automatically. The vehicle may begin moving. There is a risk of accident and injury.
If you wish to exit the vehicle, always turn off
the ignition and secure the vehicle against
rolling away.
General notes 0043
ECO start/stop display
If the engine has been switched off automati-
cally by the ECO start/stop function, the 00D6
ECO symbol is shown in the multifunction dis-
play.
The ECO start/stop function is only available in drive program C.
The ECO start/stop function is activated when-
ever you switch on the engine using the Smart-
Key or the Start/Stop button. This is the case if:
R the ignition was switched off for more than
four hours or
R the ECO start/stop function had been activa-
ted before the engine was switched off
Automatic engine switch-off The ECO start/stop function switches the
engine off automatically if:
R the ECO start/stop function is activated
(Y page 114) and
R you brake the vehicle to a standstill in trans-
mission position 005B
The ECO start/stop function is operational
when:
R the indicator lamp in the ECO button is lit
green
R the outside temperature and the atmospheric
air pressure is within the range that is suitable
