Climate system
Introduction
Air conditioning
The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC). The climate control system cools, heats or
dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment.
NOTE
The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climate comfort in the passenger
compartment and to prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on.
In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is
condensation from the A/C system and is normal.
Sensor location
The sun sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard.
The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.
The outside temperature sensor is located on the door mirror.
The humidity sensor (option) is located in the interior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and moonroof
To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows, and the optional moonroof should be closed.

Climate system
Ventilated front seats (option)
The ventilation system consists of fans in the seats and backrests that draw air through the seat upholstery. The cooling
effect increases as the air in the passenger compartment becomes cooler.
The ventilation is controlled by the ECC system, which takes into account the seat temperature, sunlight in the
passenger compartment, and the ambient temperature.
The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating. For example, the function can be used to dry damp
clothing.
The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfort levels that produce
different cooling and dehumidification effects:
Level three: press the button once for maximum output - three indicator lights come on.
Level two: press the button twice for a lower output - two indicator lights come on.
Level one: press the button three times for the lowest output - one indicator light comes on.
Press the button a fourth time to switch off the function - the indicator light will go out.
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch
will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
NOTE
If the blower is turned off completely, the air conditioning is disengaged.

Current speed in mph (Canadian models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the car's current speed from km/h to mph.
Current fuel consumption (Instantaneous)
Current fuel consumption is calculated every second. The information on the display is updated every few seconds.
When the vehicle is stationary, "----" appears on the display.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the last reset. Reset using RESET.
Driving distance on current fuel reserve
The calculation is based on the average fuel consumption over the last 20 miles (30 km) and the remaining fuel in the
tank. This shows the approximate distance that can be driven with the fuel quantity remaining in the tank. When the
driving distance on the current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km), "----" is shown on the display.
Resetting
1. Select Average speed or Average fuel consumption.
2. Press and hold RESET for approx. 1 second to reset the selected function. If RESET is kept depressed for at 3 three
seconds, Average speed and Average fuel consumption are reset simultaneously.

Compass
Operation
The upper right corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which the
vehicle is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east), E (east), SE
(southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), W (west) and NW (northwest).
The compass is displayed automatically when the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II . To switch the compass
on/off use a pen or similar object and press in the button on the rear side of the mirror.
Calibration
ProCarManuals.com
Page 135 of 251
The compass may need to be calibrated if, for example, the vehicle is driven into a new magnetic zone. The characters
CAL are shown in the mirror's display if calibration is necessary.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, away from traffic.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror until CAL is shown again (after
approx. 6 seconds).
4. Drive as usual. CAL disappears from the display when calibration is complete. Alternative calibration method: Drive
slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 5 mph (8 km/h) until CAL disappears from the display when calibration
is complete.
Selecting a magnetic zone
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The correct zone must be selected for the compass to work correctly.
1. Put the ignition in mode II.
2. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror for at least 3 seconds. The number
for the current area will be shown.
3. Press the button repeatedly until the number for the required geographic area (1-15) is shown.

BLIS camera
Indicator light
BLIS symbol
The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is an information system that indicates the presence of another vehicle
moving in the same direction as your vehicle in the sideview mirror's "blind area."
WARNING
BLIS is an information system, NOT a warning or safety system.
BLIS does not eliminate the need for you to visually confirm the conditions around you, and the need for you to
turn your head and shoulders to make sure that you can safely change lanes.
As the driver, you have full responsibility for changing lanes in a safe manner.
The system is based on digital camera technology. The cameras
are located beneath the side-view mirrors.
When one (or both) of the cameras have detected a vehicle in the blind area (up to approximately 10 ft. (3 meters)
from the side of your vehicle, and up to approximately 31 ft. (9.5 meters) behind the side-view mirror), see the
illustration in the right column, the indicator light in the door panel
illuminates. The light will glow continuously to
alert the driver of the vehicle in the blind area.
NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the system has detected another vehicle. If
your vehicle is passed on both sides at the same time, both lights will illuminate.
BLIS has an integrated function that alerts the driver if a fault should occur with the system. For example, if one or
both of the system's cameras are obscured, a message (see the table on page 157
) will appear in the information
display in the instrument panel. If this occurs, clean the camera lenses. If necessary, the system can be temporarily
switched off (for instructions, see page 157
).

Check the level frequently. The fluid does not require changing. The fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks. For capacities and recommended fluid grade, see page 248.
WARNING
If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the vehicle has no electrical current and must be towed,
it is still possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep in mind that greater effort will be required to turn the steering
wheel.
CAUTION
Keep the area around the power steering fluid reservoir clean when checking.
