Heating and air conditioning system

An acoustic signal for depressed buttons
Simultaneous pressing of buttons and can be used to de-acti-
vate or activate this function.
A higher tone is heard when switching on this function, when increasing
the blower speed or when increasing the temperature.
A lower tone is heard when switching off this function, when decreasing
the blower speed or when decreasing the temperature.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off*
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh
air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode ” if the sun ray's
are sufficient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the
sliding/tilting roof deliver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the
interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 3 and 4 must be opened
⇒ page 112.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.Note
•If the air conditioning system has not been switched on for a lengthy
period, odours may be produced at the evaporator because of deposits.
Switch the air conditioning system on at least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes at the highest blower stage - also during the cold season
of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a window for a
short time.
•We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recir-
culating air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evap-
orator from the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of
the air conditioning system. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through
considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).

WARNING
•For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all
the windows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize
yourself about how to correctly operate the heating and ventilation
systems, how to demist and defrost the windows, as well as with
the cooling mode.
•You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer
period of time. “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and
passengers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to
mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recircu-
lated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.

Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a
constant temperature and to demist the windows in the
interior of the car.
Switching automatic mode on
– Set a temperature between +18 °C (64 °F) and +29 °C (86 °F).
– Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4 ⇒ page 112, fig. 103
upwards
– Press the button .
When the automatic mode is operating, AUTO appears in the display.
Automatic mode operates only within the control temperature range from
+18 °C (17,78 °C) up to +29 °C (30,00 °F). If you select the temperature
below +18 °C (17,78 °F), LO appears in the display. If you select a temper-
ature higher than +29 °C (30,00 °F), HI appears in the display. In both limit
positions the Climatronic operates at maximum cooling or heating
capacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this case.
If you press when the automatic mode is operating a desired button
(except buttons 15 and 16), the automatic mode is switched off.
ECON mode
The cooling system is switched off in the ECON mode -
heating and ventilation are regulated automatically.
Switching ECON mode on
