28Keys, doors and windowsManual locking
Manually lock the doors, tailgate and
fuel filler flap by inserting and turning the key in the lock cylinder of the
driver's door.
Automatic locking Automatic locking after driving off
This system allows automatic locking of the doors and the tailgate as soon
as the speed of the vehicle exceeds
6 mph.
If one of the doors or the tailgate is
open, the automatic central locking
does not take place. This is signalled
by the sound of the locks rebounding, accompanied by illumination of N in
the instrument cluster, an audible
signal and the display of an alert
message.
This function can be activated or
deactivated at any time. With the
ignition on, press - until an audible
signal starts and a corresponding
message is displayed.
The state of the system stays in
memory when switching off the
ignition.
Automatic relock after unlocking
This feature automatically locks all
doors, load compartment and fuel
filler flap a short time after unlocking
with the remote control or electronic
key, provided no door has been
opened.
Child locks9 Warning
Use the child locks whenever
children are occupying the rear
seats.
Storage91● Do not place any objects on therear luggage cover or the
instrument panel, and do not
cover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or
hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate) and the EC kerb weight.
Identification plate 3 264.
To calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph.

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.
In case of vehicles with automatic
transmission of type B, an Autostop
can also be activated at a speed below 12 mph.The engine will be switched off while
the ignition stays on.
Indication
An Autostop is indicated by control
indicator ñ.
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 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
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 3 140.

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.
