Automatic air distribution control*
When the automatic air distribution control is switched on, an air
quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn
in air.
If a considerable increase in concentr ation of pollutants is recognized by
the air quality sensor, the air distribution control will temporarily be
switched off. If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal
level, the air distribution control is au tomatically switched off so that fresh
air can be guided into the vehicle interior.
Switch on automatic air distribution control
– Press the button repeatedly * until the warning light on the right side of the button lights up.
Switch off automatic air distribution control temporarily
– If the air quality sensor does not switch on automatically when there is a nauseating smell, you can switch it on yourself by pressing the
button *. The warning light lights up in the button on the left side.
Switch on automatic air distribution control again
– Hold the button pressed * for more than 2 seconds and on the right side of the button the warning light lights up.
Switch off automatic air distribution control
– Press again the button * until the warning lights in the button go out.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci- dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
•If the windscreen mists up, press the button
⇒page 102, fig. 113 .
After the windscreen has been demisted, press the button .
•The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature
is higher than approx. 2°C.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the bl ower stages automatically in line
with the interior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower
stages manually to suit your particular needs.
– Press again the button
on the left side (reduce blower speed) or on
the right side (increase blower speed).
If you switch off the blower, th e Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the button
when the respective
number of warning lights come on.
WARNING
•“Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce
attention levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an
accident increases.
•Do not switch the Climatronic syst em off for longer than necessary.
•Switch the Climatronic system on as soon as the windows mist up.

Radio remote control
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) can be
switched on or off with the remote control.
– For switching on, press the button .
– For switching off, press the button .
The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control.
The receiver is located in the interior of the car.
If the battery is properly charged, the ef fective range is up to 600 m. For switching
on or off the auxiliary heating, hold the remote control vertically with the antenna
⇒ fig. 117 towards the top. You must not cover over the antenna with the
fingers or the palm of th e hand. Obstacles between the remote control and the
vehicle, bad weather conditio ns and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on or off with the remote control, if the
distance between the remote control and the vehicle is at least 2 m. Warning light in the remote control
The warning light in the remote control
⇒fig. 117 indicates after a keystroke if the
remote control signal was received by th e auxiliary heating and if the battery is
adequately charged.Caution
There are electronic components in the remote control, protect the remote control
against water, severe shoc ks and direct sun rays.
Changing the battery of the radio remote control
If the warning light of the remote control indicates a weak or discharged
battery, ⇒fig. 117 , it must be replaced. The battery is located under a
cover on the back of the remote control.

Communication
138
Note
In the memory of the control unit, up to three users can be stored, whereby the
handsfree-system can only communicate actively with one user. In the case of
mutual connection with a fourth mobile phone, you must erase one user.
•If the telephone book of the mobile phone contains more than 1 000 entries,
the system announces a failure while loading the telephone book .
•When connecting to the control unit, follow the instructions on your mobile
phone.
•Note that the range of the Bluetooth® connection to the handsfree-system is
optimized in the vehicle interior. The rang e is dependent on local factors, e.g.
obstacles between the devices and interferences with other devices.
Operation of the telephone on the multifunction steering wheel*
The driver can set the basic functions of the telephone by simply operating the
buttons located on the steering wheel so th at he can concentrate on the traffic situ-
ation without being distracted as little as possible by operating the telephone
⇒ fig. 142 .
This applies only if your vehicle has been equiped with the telephone preinstalla-
tion at the factory.
If the side lights are switched on, the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel
are illuminated.
