Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle
from getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a
tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recircul ated air mode on
– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button.
Switching recirculat ed air mode off
– Press again the button or the button - the warning light in the button goes out.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period
of time. “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and passen-
gers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to mist
up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated
air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Note
If the windscreen mists up, press the button ⇒page 130, fig. 122 .
After the windscreen has been demisted, press the button .
Setting temperature
You can separate the interior temperature for the left and right
side separately.
– You can set the temperature for both sides after switching on the ignition with the control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial .
If the temperature for the right side was set via the control dial , it can
no longer be set via the control dial - temperature for both sides. This
is only possible if you press the button for about 2 seconds.
You can set the interior temperature between +16 °C (60 °F) and +29.5
°C (85 °F). The interior temperature is regulated automatically within this
range. If you select the temperature below +16 °C (60 °F), “LO” appears
in the display. If you select the temperature higher than +29.5 °C (85 °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.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (in partic-
ular at the leg area) and large differences in temperature, for example
when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically
in line with the interior temperature. You can also, however,
adapt the blower stages manually to suit your particular needs.

WARNING
•Bulbs H7 and H1 are pressurised and may burst when changing
the bulb - risk of injury!
•It is recommended to wear gloves and eye protection when
changing a light bulb.
•Gas discharge bulbs* (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage,
professional knowledge is required - danger to life!
Caution
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
serviette or something similar.
Note
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is
assumed that no major complications will arise. Other light bulbs should
be changed by your specialist garage.
