Instruments and controls93Fuel gauge
Displays fuel level in the tank.
Depending on vehicle content are
different designs used.
Control indicator Y illuminates and a
warning chime sounds if the level in
the tank is low. Refuel immediately
3 263.
Never run the tank dry.
Diesel fuel system bleeding 3 276.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
AdBlue gauge
AdBlue gauge shows the current
AdBlue fluid level remaining in the
tank.
Control indicator ú 3 101 illuminates
and a warning chime sounds if the
level in the tank is low. Refill AdBlue
as soon as possible to avoid
prevention of engine starts.
AdBlue 3 234.
Engine coolant temperature
gauge
Displays the coolant temperature.

Control indicator W illuminates red if
the temperature is too high 3 101.
If W illuminates red in combination
with C, stop vehicle and switch off
engine as soon as possible 3 100.
94Instruments and controlsCaution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
engine. Danger to engine. Check
coolant level.
For physical reasons, the coolant temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature only if the coolant level is adequate.
Service display
Select the service page in the Driver
Information Centre, when the ignition
is switched on without running
engine. Press and hold one of the
buttons on end of wiper lever for
approx. 5 seconds 3 108. The
distance and time to the next service are displayed. Pressing then lower
botton, shows the information for the
next engine oil change.
When the ignition is switched on, the
remaining distance or time before the next service is due may be shown
briefly in the Driver Information
Centre. Based on driving conditions,
the interval at which a service will be
indicated can vary considerably.
When the remaining distance before
the next service is less than
1500 km or 1 month, a message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
When the distance reaches 0 km or
the service date is due, control
indicator j illuminates and a
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
The vehicle needs a service. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Resetting the service display After a service or an engine oil
change, the values must be reset:
select the relevant information in the
Driver Information Centre, then press
and hold one of the buttons on end of wiper lever for approx. 10 seconds
until the distance is displayed
continuously.

Illuminates briefly when the ignition is
switched on.
Illuminates permanently when the
system is switched off.
A warning chime sounds in
conjunction with Q when the system
recognises an unintended lane
change.

Flashing during driving
The system is actively engaged.
Engine output may be reduced and
the vehicle may be braked
automatically to a small degree
3 248.
Illuminates during driving
The system is unavailable.
May illuminate together with control
indicator j 3 99. A corresponding
message also appears in the Driver

If W illuminates red (possibly in
combination with control indicator
C ), stop vehicle and allow the engine
to idle for 2 minutes. W should
extinguish, if not then switch off
engine.Caution
Coolant temperature too high.
Check coolant level 3 272.
If there is sufficient coolant, consult a workshop.
Preheating

Preheating is activated. Only
activates when outside temperature
is low.

Instruments and controls105Displays
Driver Information Centre
The Driver Information Centre is
located in the instrument cluster.
Depending on vehicle configuration,
the following items appear by
pressing one of the buttons
repeatedly on end of wiper lever:
● outside temperature 3 87
● clock 3 88
● odometer, trip odometer 3 92
● fuel gauge 3 93
● AdBlue gauge 3 93
● engine coolant temperature gauge 3 93
● service display 3 94
● vehicle messages 3 106
● trip computer 3 108
● active emergency braking 3 253
Some of the displayed functions differ
when the vehicle is being driven or at a standstill. Some functions are only
available when the vehicle is being
driven.
Info Display The central display in the
Infotainment system displays the time
(and / or outside temperature,
depending on version) and
Infotainment system information.
Press X to switch the Infotainment
system on. Alternatively, it automatically switches on when the
ignition is switched on.
Depending on system, the
Infotainment system is operated via buttons and rotary knobs on the
Infotainment system fascia, the
steering column controls, the voice
recognition system (if available) or via the touchscreen display.
216Climate controlCombi
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 heater Coolant 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.
Note
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.
Control units
The timer or remote control unit turns the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.

unavailable as the ambient
temperature approaches freezing
point.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may also inhibit an Autostop.
See "Climate control" chapter for
further information 3 208.
Immediately after motorway driving
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.
Restart of the engine by the driverManual transmission
With the selector lever in neutral,
depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
Note
If any gear is selected, the clutch
pedal must be fully depressed to
restart the engine.If the engine does not restart first
time, depress clutch pedal fully again.Manual transmission automated
With the selector lever in position D,
M or N and the parking brake
released, release the brake pedal to
restart the engine.
Engaging reverse gear or depressing the accelerator pedal may also restart
the engine.
The control indicator Ï will extinguish
in the instrument cluster when the
engine is restarted. If certain
conditions are not fulfilled, a restart will not take place. Start using the
ignition key.

The engine is restarted automatically
when operating the power sliding
door switch on the instrument panel
during an Autostop.
