Electronic climate control - ECC

ECC (Electronic Climate Control) maintains

the temperature selected in the passenger

compartment and can be set separately for

the driver's side and passenger side.

The auto function is used to automatically

control temperature, air conditioning, fan

Heated front seats*

The front seat heating has three positions for

increasing the comfort for driver and passen-

ger when it is cold.

Current heat level is shown in the centre console

display screen.

The button has a different

location depending on

Press the button repeatedly in order to acti-

vate the function:

•

Highest heat level - three orange fields

illuminate in the centre console's screen

(see figure above).

•

Lower heat level - two orange fields illu-

minate in the screen.

•

Lowest heat level - one orange field illu-

minates in the screen.

•

Switch off the heat - no field illuminates.

WARNING

Heated seats must not be used by people

who find it difficult to perceive an increase

in temperature due to a lack of sensation

or who otherwise have problems operating

the controls for the heated seats. Other-

wise they may suffer burn injuries.

Automatic start of driver's seat heating
With the automatic start of the driver's seat

heating activated, the driver's seat will have

the highest heat level when the engine is

started.
Automatic start takes place when the car is

cold and the ambient temperature is lower

than approx. +10 °C.
It is possible to activate/deactivate the func-

tion in the menu system MY CAR. For a

description of the menu system, see MY CAR

(p. 116).

•

Ventilated front seats*

The ventilation can be used at the same time

as seat heating. For example, the function can

be used to dry damp from clothing.

The ventilation system consists of fans in the

seats and backrests that draw air through the

seat upholstery. The cooling effect increases

the cooler the passenger compartment air

becomes. The system can be activated when

the engine is running.
The ventilation is regulated from the climate

control and takes seat temperature, solar

radiation and outside temperature into consi-

deration.

Current comfort level is shown in the centre con-

sole display screen.

For button location, see the

illustration (p. 136).
Press the button repeatedly

in order to activate the func-

tion.

There are three comfort levels that produce

different cooling and dehumidification out-

puts:

•

Comfort level III: Highest output - three

blue fields illuminate in the centre con-

sole's screen (see figure above).

•

Comfort level II: Lower output - two blue

fields illuminate in the screen.

•

Comfort level I: Lowest output - one blue

field illuminates in the screen.

•

Switch off the function - no field illumi-

nates.

Heated rear seat is not specified with the option for integrated two-stage booster seat (p. 50).

The seat ventilation should be used care-

fully by people sensitive to draughts. Com-

fort level I is recommended for long-term

use.

IMPORTANT

The seat ventilation cannot be started

when the passenger compartment tem-

perature is below 5 °C. This is in order to

avoid cooling down the seat occupant.

Air conditioning

The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies

incoming air as required.

When the lamp in the AC

button illuminates, the air

conditioning is controlled by

When the lamp in the AC

button is switched off the air conditioning is

disconnected. Other functions are still con-

conditioning is switched on automatically so

that the air is dehumidified at the maximum

setting.

Air distribution - recirculation

Select recirculation to shut out bad air,

exhaust gases etc. from the passenger com-

partment, i.e. no outside air is taken into the

car when this function is activated.

When recirculation is

engaged the orange lamp in

the button illuminates.

IMPORTANT

If the air in the car is recirculated for too

long then there is a risk of misting on the

insides of the windows.

Timer
With the timer function activated the system

will exit manually activated recirculation mode

according to a time that depends on the out-

side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,

misting and bad air.

Engine block heater and passenger

compartment heater*

Preconditioning prepares the heater, engine

and passenger compartment before depar-

ture so that both wear and energy needs dur-

ing the journey are reduced.
The heater can be started directly (p. 146) or

with a timer (p. 147).

The heater cannot start if the outside tem-

perature exceeds 15 °C. At –5 °C or lower the

maximum running time of the heater is 50

minutes.

WARNING

Do not use the fuel-driven heater indoors.

Exhaust gases are secreted.

When the fuel-driven auxiliary heater is

active there may be smoke from the right-

hand wheel housing, which is perfectly

normal.

WARNING

Fuel which spills out could be ignited.

Switch off the fuel-driven auxiliary heater

before starting to refuel.
Check in the combined instrument panel

that the heater is switched off. The heat

symbol is shown when it is operating.

Parking on a hill
If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of

the car should point downhill to ensure that

there is a supply of fuel to the fuel-driven

heater.

Battery and fuel
If the battery has insufficient charge or the

fuel level is too low, the heater will be

switched off automatically and a message

appears on the information display. Acknowl-

stalk (p. 113) OK button once.

IMPORTANT

Repeated use of the heater combined with

short journeys leads to the battery dis-

charging and consequential starting prob-

lems.
The car should be driven for the same time

as the heater is used to ensure that the

car's battery is recharged adequately to

replace the energy consumed by the

heater when it is used on a regular basis.

The heater is used for a maximum of 50

minutes each time.

In cold climate zones

an additional heater

A fuel-driven additional heater (p. 151) is fit-

ted in cars with diesel engines.

In a semi-cold

climate zone diesel-driven

cars have an electric additional heater

(p. 152) instead of a fuel-driven version.

Cars with certain petrol engines

have an

electric additional heater integrated into the
