Air conditioning
129Activating/deactivating air-recircula-
tion mode
You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasant odours are entering the vehicle
from outside. The air already inside the vehi-
cle will then be recirculated. G
Risk of accident
Only switch over to air-recirculation mode
briefly at low outside temperatures. Other-
wise, the windows could mist up, thus
impairing visibility and endangering your-
self and others. This may prevent you from
observing the traffic conditions, thereby
causing an accident.

It is possible to make use of the residual heat
of the engine to continue heating the station-
ary vehicle for up to 30 minutes after the

Risk of injury
Children could injure themselves if they
operate the sliding/tilting sunroof.
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. Always take the key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even if you are only
leaving it for a short time. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trap-
ped when you are opening and closing the
sliding/tilting sunroof. If there is a risk of
entrapment, release the switch and push it
briefly in any direction to stop the sliding/
tilting sunroof. G
Risk of injury
If you are not wearing a seat belt, there is
a risk that you could be thrown through the
opening in the event of the vehicle over-
turning. Therefore, always wear a seat belt
to reduce the risk of injuries.
! Only open the sliding/tilting sunroof if it
is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur. Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding/tilting sunroof. The seals could oth-
erwise be damaged.
i Resonance noises can occur in addition
to the usual airflow noises when the slid-
ing/tilting sunroof is open. They are caused
by minor pressure fluctuations in the vehi-
cle interior.
Change the position of the sliding/tilting
sunroof or open a side window slightly to
reduce or eliminate these noises.
i It is also possible to open and close the
sliding/tilting sunroof from the outside
using the "Summer opening" and "Conve-
nience closing" features respectively. Controls
