Automatic mode

Basic setting for maximum comfort:

● Press AUTO ("AUTO" appears in

the display).

● Set desired temperature (the

temperature appears in the

display).

● Open all air vents.

During automatic mode, the settings

for fan speed, air distribution, air

conditioning and air recirculation are

automatically regulated by the system

and are not shown on the display.

Temperature preselection

Temperatures can be set to the

desired value with the two buttons

below the display.
For reasons of comfort, change

temperature only in small increments.
red : warm

blue : cold
Heating will not be fully effective until

the engine has reached normal

operating temperature.

If the minimum temperature of 15 ℃

is set, the electronic climate control

system runs at maximum cooling.
If the maximum temperature of 27 ℃

is set, the electronic climate control

system runs at maximum heating.

Note

If the temperature is to be reduced

for climate comfort reasons, an

Autostop can be inhibited or the

engine will restart automatically

when cooling is switched on.
Stop-start system 3 137.

Fan speed

Fan speed can be increased or

decreased with the x buttons.
The selected fan speed is indicated

with x in the display.
If the fan is switched off, the air

conditioning is also deactivated.
To return to automatic mode: Press

AUTO.

Demisting and defrosting the

windows

Press V; LED illuminates.

Temperature and air distribution are

set automatically, air conditioning is

switched on and the fan runs at a high

speed.
Heated rear window, heated exterior

mirrors are also switched on

automatically. Press Ü to switch off

without deactivating demisting/

defrosting of the windows. The fan

speed can also be decreased.
To return to automatic mode: press

V

 or AUTO.

Note

If V is pressed while the engine is

running, an Autostop will be inhibited

Cooling

The air conditioning system cools and

dehumidifies (dries) when outside

temperature is above a specific level.

Therefore condensation may form

and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,

press A/C OFF to switch the cooling

system off, thus saving fuel.

"A/C OFF" appears in the display.

Manual air recirculation mode

Press u to switch on air recirculation;

u

 appears in the display.

9 Warning

The exchange of fresh air is

reduced in air recirculation mode.

In operation without cooling the air

humidity increases, so the

windows may mist up. The quality

of the passenger compartment air

deteriorates, which may cause the

vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.

To return to automatic mode: press

u

 or AUTO.

Rear heating system

If the engine is switched off, the rear

compartment can be heated by the

additional heating, through low level

vents.
By programming values using the

control panel, the user can adjust the

time, day and temperature settings.
Heating will cease to operate if the

vehicle fuel level drops too low.
During operation, power from the

vehicle battery is used. For short

journey times, check the vehicle

battery regularly and recharge if

necessary.

Note

If the rear heating system is

activated while the engine is

running, an Autostop will be

inhibited.

To ensure efficient performance, the

low level air vents in the rear

passenger compartment must not be

obstructed.

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.

Air vents

Adjustable air vents

At least one air vent must be open

while cooling is on in order to prevent

the evaporator from icing up due to

lack of air movement.

Centre air vents

Press the vent to open.
Direct the flow of air by swivelling the

vent.
Push vent to close.

Side air vents

Press the vent to open.
Direct the flow of air by swivelling the

vent.
Depending upon the position of the

temperature control, air will be

directed into the vehicle via the side

air vents.

9 Warning

Do not attach any objects to the

slats of the air vents. Risk of

damage and injury in the event of

an accident.

to the appropriate seat.

Fixed air vents

Additional air vents are located

beneath the windscreen and door

windows and in the foot wells.

Glovebox cooler

The air conditioning system can also

keep the contents of the glovebox

cool.

Maintenance

Air intake

The air intake in front of the

windscreen in the engine

compartment must be kept clear to

allow air intake. Remove any leaves,

dirt or snow.

Pollen filter

The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,

pollen and spores from the air

entering the vehicle through the air

intake.

Air conditioning regular

operation

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 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 operating

Driving hints

Driving economically

ECO mode

ECO mode is a function that

optimises fuel consumption. It affects

engine power and torque,

acceleration, gear shift indication,

heating, air conditioning and electrical

consumers.

Activation

Press ECO. Control indicator

illuminates when activated and a

corresponding message appears in

the Driver Information Centre 3 103.
During driving, it is possible to

temporarily disable ECO mode, e.g.

to increase engine performance, by

depressing the accelerator pedal

firmly.
ECO mode is reactivated when

pressure is reduced on the

accelerator pedal.

Deactivation

Press ECO again. Control indicator

extinguishes.

Control of the vehicle

Never coast with engine not

running (except during Autostop)

Many systems will not function in this

situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power

steering). Driving in this manner is a

danger to yourself and others. All

systems function during an Autostop,

but there may be a controlled

reduction in power steering assist and

vehicle speed is reduced.

Stop-start system 3 137.

Pedals

To ensure the pedal travel is

uninhibited, there must be no mats in

the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats which fit properly

and are fixed by the retainers on the

driver's side.

Driving downhill

Engage a gear when driving downhill

to ensure that sufficient brake

pressure is available.

Steering

If power steering assist is lost

because the engine stops or due to a

system malfunction, the vehicle can

be steered but may require increased

effort.
