CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM OPENING AND CLOSING Ð FROM OUTSIDE
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The doors, the tailgate and the fuel
filler door are unlocked or locked.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated:
>
From outside via the remote control as
well as via the door lock
>
From inside by pressing a button.
If operated from outside, the anti-theft
system is activated at the same time. This
prevents the doors from being unlocked via
safety lock buttons or door handles.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically. The
hazard warning system and interior lamps
are also switched on.
Via remote control
The remote control gives you an exception-
ally convenient method for unlocking and
locking your vehicle. It also offers another
function:
To open the tailgate, refer to page 24.
The tailgate will open slightly, regardless of
whether it was locked or unlocked.
Whenever you unlock (lock) the vehicle,
you simultaneously deactivate (activate)
the anti-theft system, and switch the inte-
rior lamps on (off).
If the vehicle has been properly locked
using the remote control, the hazard
warning system lights up once.
When the vehicle is unlocked, the hazard
warning system does not react.
Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. Always take
the vehicle keys with you so that the
vehicle can be opened again from the
outside at any time.

AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM Air supply
You can select blower speeds
from 1 to 4. Position 0: blower is
switched off. The button for
recirculated-air mode fully blocks
the supply of air from outside.
Heating and ventilation operate as of posi-
tion 1.
Temperature
Turn to the right (red) to increase
the temperature of the
passenger compartment.
Rapid heating: turn to the
extreme right. Then select a pleasant inte-
rior temperature.
Air distribution
Air distribution in upper body
region , upper body region
and footwell , footwell ,
footwell and windows and
windows .
All intermediate positions are possible, see
illustration and overview on page 64.
Rear window defroster
Rear window defroster switched
on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
As long as the indicator lamp is lit, the
heating operates at high power output
(rapid defrosting).
Indicator lamp goes out.
The heating continues to run with reduced
power output and then switches itself off
automatically.
Windshield heating*
Windshield heating switched on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
As long as the indicator lamp is
lit, the heating operates at high power
output (rapid defrosting).
Indicator lamp goes out.
The heating continues to run with reduced
power output and then switches itself off
automatically.
Air conditioner
Air conditioner operation
switched on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
The air is cooled and dehumidified and Ð
depending on the temperature setting Ð
rewarmed.
After the engine start, the windshield can
fog over briefly.
Condensation forms in the air condi-
tioner system during operation, and
then exits under the vehicle. Traces of
condensed water under the vehicle are
therefore normal.<
Recirculated-air mode
Supply of outside air into the
vehicle is blocked: indicator lamp
lights up.
The air within the vehicle is recirculated.
Do not run the recirculated-air mode
for longer than approx. 30 minutes,
as otherwise the air quality in the interior
will deteriorate.

If the windows fog over in the recir-
culated-air mode, switch the recircu-
lated-air mode off and increase the air
supply as required.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
*
Automatic air distribution and supply
Automatic program (AUTO):
Indicator lamp lights up.
Automatic adjustment of the air distribu-
tion and the air supply and adaptation of
the specified temperatures to external
influences (outside temperature and
sunlight).
In the automatic program (AUTO), the air
conditioner is activated automatically.
Switching the automatic climate
control on/off
The blower, heating and air condi-
tioner are switched off.
To switch the automatic climate control on
again:
Press any button of the automatic climate
control.
Air conditioner
Air conditioner switched on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
The air is cooled and dehumidified and Ð
depending on the temperature setting Ð
rewarmed.
In the automatic program (AUTO), the air
conditioner is activated automatically.
After the engine start, the windshield can
fog over briefly. Switching on the air condi-
tioner reduces condensation on the
windows.
Condensation forms in the air condi-
tioner system during operation, and
then exits under the vehicle. Traces of
condensed water under the vehicle are
therefore normal.
vehicle is blocked:
Indicator lamp lights up.
The air within the vehicle is recirculated.
In the automatic program (AUTO) in hot
weather conditions, the recirculated-air
mode is activated temporarily to enable
faster cooling.
Do not run the recirculated-air mode
for longer than approx. 30 minutes,
as otherwise the air quality in the interior
will deteriorate.<
If the windows fog over in the recir-
culated-air mode, switch the recircu-
lated-air mode off and increase the air
supply as required.<
Rear window defroster and windshield
heating*
Rear window defroster and wind-
shield heating switched on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
As long as the indicator lamp is lit, the
heating operates at high power output
(rapid defrosting).
Indicator lamp goes out.
The heating continues to run with reduced
power output and then switches itself off
automatically.
Temperature
Setting the temperature:
Move or turn the wheel in the
appropriate direction to increase
the temperature step by step.
The figures in the display provide a general
indication of interior temperature. When
you start the vehicle, the system ensures
that the selected temperature is achieved
as quickly as possible and then maintained.
Permanent heating with maximum
power output at temperature selec-
tion "HI". Permanent cooling at "LO".<
