The LEDs on the Climatronic controls indicate that the selected function has
been activated.
In addition, the radio or radio and navigation displays mounted at factory
briefly display the current settings of the Climatronic if any are modified.
The symbols used on the radio or radio and navigation displays are the same
as the symbols used for the Climatronic controls.
Automatic mode
In automatic mode air temperature, air flow and distribution
are automatically regulated so that a specified temperature is
attained as quickly as possible and then maintained.The temperature can be adjusted separately for the left and right
sides of the vehicle interior.
Switching on automatic mode
–Press the ⇒
page 149, fig. 111 button. “AUTO High” is
shown on the radio display (high fan speed).
– Press the button again ⇒page 149, fig. 111 . “AUTO Low”
is shown on the radio display (low fan speed).Depending upon the version and finish, the vehicle may include:
When a temperature of 22°C (72°F) is set in automatic mode a comfortable
interior climate is quickly reached. Therefore, we recommend you not to
change this ad just m en t, excep t as ne ce ssa r y to sui t in di vid ua l pre fe re nces o r
particular circumstances. The compartment temperature can be set between
+18°C (64°F) and +26°C (80°F). These are approximate temperatures and the actual temperature may be slightly higher or lower depending on the ambient
conditions.
Climatronic maintains a constant temperature. The temperature of the air
supplied to the interior, the blower speed and the air distribution are regu-
lated automatically. The system also considers the sunlight radiation, so
there is no need for manual readjustment. Therefore,
automatic mode almost
always provides the best comfort for the vehicle occupants throughout the
year.
Automatic mode is switched off whenever an adjustment is made using the
buttons for the air distribution, air flow or or the air recirculation button . The temperature will continue to be regulated within the parameters
manually selected by the user.
Note
There are two automatic modes:•Automatic mode LO: This calculates the air flow for two people.•Automatic mode HI: This calculates the air flow for more than two
people.

containing solvents. Solvents cause the surface to become porous. If the
airbag triggered, disintegrating plastic parts could cause substantial inju-
ries.
Caution
Cleaning products which contain solvents will damage the material.Wooden trim cleaning*– Clean the wooden trim with a water-moistened clean cloth.
– If this does not provide satisfactory results, use a gentle soap
solution.
CautionCleaning products which contain solvents will damage the material.
Cleaning the radio and climate controlsTo clean the radio and/or climate controls, use a soft damp cloth. For more
resistant dirt, a neutral soap solution may be used.Cloth seat covers and fabric trim cleaningCloth seat covers and fabric trim on the doors, headlining etc. can be cleaned
with a special interior cleanser or with dry foam and a soft brush.Leather cleaning*Normal cleaning

Checking and refilling levels211
Safety First
Controls and equipment
Practical tips
Technical Data
– Screw on the cap of the gas filler neck .
– Close the tank flap.When the hose is removed from the tank, a small amount of LPG may spill out
⇒.
The LPG tank ⇒fig. 140 in the spare wheel well has a capacity of 39 litres. If
the outside temperatures are very low, it may not be possible to completely
fill the LPG tank.
Pump attachments
There are a variety of types of LPG pump, and the methods of use may vary.
Therefore, let the pump operator fill the tank when refuelling for the first time
or fill from another pump.
Noises when refuelling with LPG
When refuelling with LPG, noises may be heard. These noises are insignifi-
cant.
WARNING
Failure to refuel or handle LPG in the correct way could result in a fire, cause
an explosion or lead to injury.•LPG is a highly explosive and inflammable substance. It may cause
severe burns and other injury.•Switch off the engine before refuelling.•Always disconnect mobile phones and any other radiophony appli-
ances, as electromagnetic waves may produce sparks and cause a fire.•Do not remain in the vehicle while refuelling. If it is absolutely neces-
sary to enter the vehicle, close the door and touch a metal surface before
touching the attachment again. This will prevent the generation of static
electricity and any possible fires while refuelling.
•Small quantities of LPG may leak out after refuelling. If LPG comes into
contact with skin, there is a risk of freezing.•Do not smoke and always keep bare flames away from the tank during
refuelling. Failure to do so may lead to an explosion.
