Sliding/tilt sunroof with glass moonroof
*
To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt
sunroof and keep it in your field of
vision until it is shut.
Before leaving the vehicle, switch off
the electric sunroof mechanism by
removing the ignition key. Do not leave
children unattended in the vehicle with
access to vehicle keys. Use of the key
can result in starting of the engine and
operation of vehicle systems such as
the power sunroof, etc. Unsupervised
use of these systems can result in
serious personal injury.<
For the convenience mode via the door
lock or the remote control, refer to
page 31 or 33.
Lifting Ð Opening Ð Closing With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher, press the switch or slide it in the
desired direction until you feel resis-
tance.
The headliner slides back somewhat
when you raise the sunroof. When the
sunroof is opened the headliner retracts
with it. It remains open, and it is possible
to slide it back and forth as long as the
sunroof is not completely open.
The headliner insert cannot be
closed with the sliding/tilt sunroof
in its raised position.<
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sliding/tilt
sunroof as long as neither of the front
doors has been opened. 530de247

Automatic climate control
*
Tips for pleasant drivingUse the automatic system; that is press
AUTO button 6. Select an interior
temperature that is comfortable for you.
Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.
Your vehicle is set in such a
manner that, when you unlock the
vehicle via remote control with your
personalized key, your own setting for
the automatic climate control is initi-
ated.< Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program
assumes the adjustment of
the air distribution and the air supply for
you and also adapts the temperature to
external influences (summer, winter) to
meet preferences you can specify.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting
specific air distribution
patterns for your personal
comfort, the automatic air
supply remains in operation. You can
direct air to flow onto the windows ,
toward the upper body , and into the
footwell . You can reactivate the
automatic air distribution mode by
selecting the AUTO button.
Temperature
You can make individual
temperature settings on the
driver's side or the front
passenger side. Your settings will be
shown in the display 9. The displayed
temperatures are reference values for
the interior temperature. We recom-
mend +72 7 (+22 6) as a comfortable
setting, whether the air conditioner is
operating or not. When you start the
vehicle, this system ensures that the
selected temperature is achieved as
quickly as possible. It then maintains
this temperature, regardless of the
season.
Air supply
In the AUTO program, the
air supply is controlled
automatically. AUTO will appear in the
display 9, refer to the overview on
page 106. Use "+" and "Ð" to vary the
air supply. When your setting is
displayed by bars, the automatic air
supply is switched off. Automatic air
distribution maintains its setting. You
can reactivate the automatic air supply
by pressing the AUTO button.
When you press "Ð " during operation at
minimum blower speed all displays are
canceled: the blower, heating and air
conditioner are switched off. The out-
side air supply is closed. You can
switch the system back on by pressing
any button of the automatic climate
control.
To defrost windows and remove
condensation
This program quickly
removes ice and conden-
sation from the windshield and the side
windows.
