Climate control
Heating and ventilation system,
air conditioning system
Ventilation, heating and cooling are
combined into one unit that is designed to
provide comfort regardless of the season,
weather or outside temperature.
When cooling is activated, the air is cooled
and dehumidified (dried).
The heating unit heats the air as required in
all operating modes, depending on the
position of the temperature rotary knob.
The air supply can be adjusted to suit
personal requirements by means of the
fan.
Air conditioning system - see page 109.
Electronic Climate Control (ECC) 3
Provides the greatest amount of comfort in
the vehicle interior, regardless of the
weather, outside temperature or season.
To ensure a constant and comfortable
climate in the vehicle, the temperature of
inflowing air, the air flow rate, air
distribution mode, air recirculation mode
and air conditioning are automatically
adapted based on the climate conditions
outside the vehicle and the current
temperature of the vehicle interior.

Driving and operation143
Control indicator for park pilotControl indicator r illuminates while
driving if there is a fault in the system.
If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times
continuously when there are no obstacles
near the front or rear bumper, there is a
fault in the system.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a
workshop. To ensure the safety of other road users
and people in the vicinity and to avoid
damage to the vehicle, remember:
z
The park pilot should only be considered
as a supplementary function. Normal
precautions should be maintained when
reversing. Check the rear view and use
the mirrors when reversing.
z Do not push, scratch or otherwise
damage the sensors.
z Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners to
clean the sensors. Clean only with a soft
sponge and clean water.
Automatic level control 3
Automatic level control makes it possible to
keep the height of the vehicle constant
when subjected to different loads in the
rear (e.g. when passengers are occupying
the rear seats or when towing a caravan/
trailer). This significantly improves driving
conditions.
The vehicle is automatically raised at the
rear to its previous unloaded level,
increasing spring travel and ground
clearance.
Headlamp range adjustment -
see page 97.
In the event of malfunctions, do not utilise
the vehicle’s full load capacity. Have the
cause of the fault remedied by a workshop
without delay.

Driving and operation170
Block the wheels of both the caravan/trailer
and the vehicle when parking and always
apply the hand brake firmly. If possible, do
not park on slopes. Parking on inclines
If parking on an incline is unavoidable,
depress the foot brake, have someone
place wheel blocks under the caravan/
trailer wheels and release the foot brake
until the blocks have absorbed the load.
Depress foot brake again, apply
hand brake, engage first gear on uphill
gradients or reverse gear on downhill
gradients (automatic transmission 3 in P)
and finally, release foot brake. Starting on inclines
Depress the foot brake and hold it down,
start the engine, shift into gear and release
the hand brake.
Release foot brake and drive slowly until
the caravan/trailer is clear of the wheel
blocks. Stop the vehicle and have someone
pick up the blocks. If possible, the engine
speed should not drop during this
procedure.
For vehicles with automatic transmission
3
in automatic mode, apply sufficient
throttle.
Before starting-off under extreme
conditions (e.g. high combination weight,
mountainous terrain with steep inclines),
switch off all unnecessary electrical loads
(e.g. heated rear window, air conditioning
system, heated front seats 3).
9 Warning
Have someone provide assistance when
removing blocks. Always remove blocks
from wheels while standing to one side.
Do not remove blocks while standing
behind the caravan/trailer; risk of injury
and damage to both the vehicle and
caravan/trailer.
