Technical Data
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you
also reduce pollutant emissions.
Operational problemsIf the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be:•
The fuse on the air conditioning system
has blown. Check the fuse, replace it if
necessary
⇒page 256.
•
The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot
⇒page 18.
If you are not able to rectify the operat
ional problem yourself, or if the cooling
capacity decreases, switch the cooling sy
stem off. Contact a specialist garage.
Air outlet ventsFig. 125 Air vents at the front
Fig. 126 Air vents at the rearOpen air outlet vents – Turn the rotary knob to position
.
Close air outlet vents – Turn the rotary knob to position
0.
Redirecting air flow – The horizontal as well as the vertical direction of the air flow is set with
the handle in the middle of the air outlet vents.
The air outlet vents
2, 3 ⇒fig. 125
and
5 ⇒fig. 126
can be closed and opened indi-
vidually. Unwarmed or cooled air will flow out of the opened air outlet vents according to the setting of control dial and the outside atmospheric conditions.
Note
The air outlet vents
1 ensure in the ventilation and cooling mode for a comfortable
(no-draught) ventilation of the interior of
the vehicle, also if the air outlet vents
3
are closed.

The whole heat output will be needed to
unfrost the windscreen
and side windows.
No warm air will be fed to the footwell. Th
is can lead to restriction of the heating

Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description The Climatronic system is a combin
ation of an automatic heating,
fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the occupants of the car.The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sunlight which eliminates the need to alte
r the settings manually. The
automatic mode

⇒ page 110 ensures maximum wellbeing of th
e occupants at all times of the year.
Description of Climatronic system The cooling operates only if the following conditions are met:•
engine running,
•
outside temperature above approx. +2°C,
•
switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a hi
gh coolant temperature in order to provide
cooling at a high load of the engine. Recommended setting for al
l periods of the year:
•
Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C.
•
Press the button
⇒fig. 128
.
•
Move the air outlet vents
2 and
3 so that the air flow is directed slightly upwards.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off* On vehicles fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with solar cells* the fresh air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun rays are sufficient after switching off the ignition. The solar
cells on the sliding/tilting roof deliver
power for the fresh air blower
. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents
2 and
3 must be opened
⇒ page 105, fig. 125
.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Note
On vehicles equipped with a
factory-fitted radio* or navi
gation*, the information of
the Climatronic is also shown on the display. This function can be switched off, see operating instructions of the ra
dio* or the navigation system*.

Technical Data
You can set the interior temperature between +18°C and +26°C. The interior temperature is regulated automatically with
in this range. If you chose a tempera-
ture lower than +18°C, a blue symbol lights
up at the start of the numerical scale. If
you chose a temperature higher than +26°C,
a red symbol lights up at the end of
the numerical scale. In both limit positio
ns the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. Th
e temperature is not controlled in this
case. Lengthy and uneven distribution
of the air flow out of the
vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.Recirculated air mode In recirculated air mode air is sucked
out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior
. When the automatic air distribu-
tion control is switched on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn-in air.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam. If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognized by the air quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is switched on, the air distribution control will temporarily be switched off. If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distributi
on control is automatically switched
off so that fresh air can be guided into the vehicle interior. Switching recirculated air mode on – Press the button repeatedly until the warning light on the left
side of the button lights up.
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 the air distribution control
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.
Switching recirculated air mode off – Press the button or press the button repetitively, 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 109, fig. 128
.
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).
