150Climate controlAir 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
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check

Driving and operating157With touchscreen
The stop-start system can be
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 123.
If the system is deactivated during an
Autostop, the engine restarts
immediately.
AutostopVehicles with manual transmission
An Autostop can be activated at a
standstill or at speed below 12 mph.
Activate an Autostop as follows: ● Depress the clutch pedal.
● Set the selector lever to neutral.
● Release the clutch pedal.
The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on.Vehicles with automatic transmissionIf the vehicle is at a standstill with
depressed brake pedal or gear
selector in N, Autostop is activated
automatically.

● The driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened.
● The sliding doors are closed
● The vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition.
● The engine is warmed up.
● The ambient temperature is between 0 °C and 35 °C.
● 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 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.
Notice

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.
Restart of the engine by the driver
Vehicles with manual transmission
Depress the clutch pedal without
depressing the brake pedal to restart the engine.
Vehicles with automatic transmission Type A: The engine is restarted if
● the gear selector is in position D
with M activated or not and the
brake pedal is released● the gear selector is in position N,
the brake pedal is released and
the gear selector is moved to
position D with M activated or not
● the gear selector is in position P,
the brake pedal is depressed and the gear selector is moved to
position R, N or D with M
activated or not
● the reverse gear is engaged
Type B: The engine is restarted if ● the gear selector is in position A
or M and the brake pedal is
released
● the gear selector is in position N,
the brake pedal is depressed and and the gear selector is moved toA or M
● the reverse gear is engaged
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
The selector lever must be in neutral to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system:● depending on engine, vehicle speed exceeding 0.6 mph or
15 mph(manual transmission)
● vehicle speed exceeding 0.6 mph (automatic
transmission)
● stop-start system manually deactivated
● driver's door opened
● sliding door opened.
● driver's seat belt unfastened
● engine temperature too low
● charging level of vehicle battery below defined level
● brake vacuum not sufficient
● vehicle driven at least at walking speed
● climate control system requests engine start
● air conditioning manually switched on
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart might be noticeable.

Driving and operating205After the automatic cut-off, the tank
can be topped up by operating the
pump nozzle a maximum of two more
times.Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.
To close, turn the fuel filler cap
clockwise until it clicks.
Close the flap and allow it to engage.
Fuel filler cap
Only use genuine fuel filler caps.
Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler caps.
Trailer hitch
General information
Only use towing equipment that has
been approved for the vehicle.
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment.
Driving characteristics and towing tips
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate
the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reduce
snaking movements.
During trailer towing do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph. A maximum speed
of 60 mph is only appropriate if an
oscillation damper is used and the
permissible gross trailer weight does
not exceed the vehicle's curb weight.For trailers with low driving stability
and caravan trailers, the use of an
oscillation damper is strongly
recommended.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
If the outside temperature exceeds
37 °C, reduce the load on the trailer
to protect the engine of the vehicle.
At high outside temperatures it is
recommended to leave the engine
running for one or two minutes after
having stopped the vehicle in order to
faciliate cooling.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 271.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance of the vehicle. To limit the
heating of the brakes, it is
recommended to use the braking
effect of the engine.
