Outside temperature 3
The outside temperature is shown in
the odometer display when the
ignition is switched on.If outside temperature drops to near
freezing point (0 °C), the symbol:
illuminates in the odometer display as
a warning for icy road surfaces.
Power outlets
Located on the instrument panel,
below the climate control switches.Operational with ignition switch in
positions ACC or ON.
Pull the cap out to use the accessory
socket, and replace it when not in
use.
The use of non-authorised
accessories may cause damage to
the socket.
Use of accessory sockets while the
engine is not running will discharge
the battery.
The maximum power requirement of
electrical accessories must not
exceed 120 watts.
Do not connect any current delivering
accessories, e.g. electrical charging
devices or batteries.
Connected electrical accessories
must comply with the EC standard in
terms of electromagnetic
compatibility requirements laid down
in DIN VDE 40 839, otherwise vehicle
malfunctions may occur. Release Ö for approx. 5 seconds to
set minute display.
Hour display flashes.
Press Ö to set hours.
Release Ö for approx. 5 seconds to
set hour display.
9 Warning
The road surface may already be
icy, even though the display
indicates a few degrees above
0°C.

Climate controlsClimate control system
Ventilation, heating and cooling 3 are
combined into one unit that is
designed to provide comfort
regardless of the season, weather or
outside temperature.
Button for cooling n (or A/C) is only
present in version with air

Air flow
Four fan speeds:
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan. The fan should therefore be
switched on during driving.
Air distribution Window demisting and
defrosting
To clear misted or icy windows, e.g.
due to damp weather, damp clothing
or low outside temperatures:
„Turn air recirculation mode 4 off.
„Set air distribution rotary knob
toV.
„Turn temperature rotary knob to
red area for warm air.
„Set fan to 4.
„Open adjustable side air vents and
direct them towards door windows.
„Switch on heated rear window Ü. x=Off
4= Maximum air flow
M= To head area via centre and
side air vents
L= To head area via centre and
side air vents and to footwell
K= To footwell
J= To windscreen, front door
windows, side air vents and
to footwell
V= To windscreen, front door
windows and side air vents

8-3 Climate controls
For simultaneous warming of the
footwell, set air distribution rotary
knob to J.
Switch on air conditioning 3 to
improve defrosting efficiency when
position J or V is selected.
Air recirculation mode 3
During ’normal’ operation, the
heating, ventilation and air
conditioning system 3 uses outside
air. To prevent fumes or unpleasant
odours from entering the vehicle
when in stationary traffic and when
rapid heating or cooling of the
passenger compartment is required, press button 4; control indicator in
the button illuminates and air is
recirculated.
Press button 4 again to turn air
recirculation mode off; control
indicator in the button extinguishes
and outside air is drawn into the
vehicle.
Air conditioning system 3
Operational only with engine running
and with the fan switched on:
Control indicator in the button
illuminates when air conditioning is
enabled and extinguishes when the
system is switched off.
Cooling switches off automatically at
low outside temperatures.
Switch off cooling when not required,
in order to save fuel.
9 Warning
Air recirculation mode should only
be used for brief periods, due to
gradual deterioration in air quality
and an increase in humidity,
causing windows to mist up.
Driving with air recirculation mode
on for extended periods may
cause vehicle occupants to feel
drowsy.
Press button n (or A/C) = On
Press button again = Off

8-4Climate controls
Even with air conditioning on, if
temperature rotary knob is set to
warm, the vehicle will still produce
warm air in the passenger
compartment.
To improve efficiency of the air
conditioning, always close the
windows, to prevent chilled air from
escaping.
In very high temperatures, before
starting the engine, allow hot air to
escape from the vehicle by opening
the windows and switching on the
fan.
When the air conditioning system is
switched on, open adjustable side air
vents so that the evaporator does not
ice up due to lack of air movement.
When cooling (air conditioning
compressor) is switched on,
condensation forms, which is
expelled from the underside of the
vehicle.
To ensure continuously efficient
performance and prolong the life of
the air conditioning system, it must be switched on for a few minutes once a
week, irrespective of the weather and
time of year.
Malfunctions in the system must not
be rectified by the owner: seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Maximum cooling
Open windows briefly and switch fan
on so that warm air can escape
rapidly.
„Press button n (or A/C)
(to switch on air conditioning
system).
„Activate air recirculation mode 4.„Set air distribution rotary knob to M.
„Turn temperature rotary knob all
the way to blue area for cooling.
„Set fan to 4.
Air vents
Centre air vents
The air flow can be directed as
desired by tilting the slats up, down
and sideways using the central
adjuster.
The air supply is increased by
switching on the fan.

8-5 Climate controls
Side air vents
To open and close side air vents, turn
horizontal knurled wheel to the left or
right.
Open side air vents when air
distribution rotary knob is set to
position M or L.
The air flow can be directed up and
down by tilting the slats up and down
using the central adjuster. Air flow is
directed sideways by turning the
horizontal knurled wheel to the left or
right.Depending upon the position of the
temperature rotary knob, cold or
heated air will be directed into the
vehicle via these air vents.
The air supply is increased by
switching on the fan.
Door window defroster vents
Air distribution rotary knob set to
lorV; cooled or heated air will be
directed onto the windscreen and
onto the door windows (mainly in the
area of the exterior mirrors).
Heated rear window,
heated exterior mirrors3
Operational only with engine running.
Control indicator in the button
illuminates when heating is
operational and extinguishes when
heating is switched off.
Turn off heating as soon as vision is
clear.
Rear window and exterior mirror
heating is switched off automatically
after approx. 15 minutes.
To avoid discharging the battery, do
not operate when you are just starting
the vehicle, or if there is a build up of
snow or ice.
Do not use sharp instruments or
abrasive cleaners on rear window or
exterior mirrors, and avoid scratching
or damaging their heating elements.
