Technical Data
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*.

WARNING
•
Please note that the handbrake mu
st be fully released. A handbrake
which is only partially released can re
sult in the rear brakes overheating
which will have a negative effect on th
e operation of the brake system - risk
of accident! In addition this can result in premature wear of the rear brake pads.•
Never leave children unattended in th
e vehicle. The children might, for
example, release the handbrake or take
the vehicle out of gear. The vehicle
might then move off - risk of accident!
Caution
After the car has come to a stop, always firs
t of all apply the handbrake firmly before
then additionally engaging a gear (manual gearbox) or moving the selector lever into position
P (automatic gearbox).
Rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warning of obstacles behind the vehicle.The audible parking aid determines the distance between the rear bumper and an obstacle located behind the
vehicle with the aid of ultr
asound sensors. The tones
of the parking aid can be adapted in the menu of the information display* ⇒ page 30. The sensors are integrated in the rear bumper. Range of sensors The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 160 cm from the obstacle (area ⇒fig. 138
). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the
clearance is reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance
of approx. 30 cm (area ) - danger area.
You should not reverse any further after this signal sounds!
If the vehicle is
equipped with a factory-fitted towing device*, the border of the danger area starts - continuous tone - 5 cm further behind
the vehicle. The vehi
cle can be extended
through an installed deta
chable towing device.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio* or navigation*, the distance to the obstruction is shown graphically on the di
splay. On vehicles with a factory-fitted
towing device, the sensors are deactivated wh
en towing a trailer. The driver is also
informed of the radio* or the navigation
* by a graphic display (vehicle towing a
trailer) on the display. The radio* or navi
gation*, which is factory-fitted, can be set
so that the play function volume decreases when activating the parking aid, see Owner's Manual radio* or navigation*. This
improves the audibili
ty of the parking
aid. Activating The parking aid is activated automatically when
reverse gear
is engaged and the
ignition is turned on. This is confir
med by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating The parking aid is deactivated
by removing the reverse gear.
WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute fo
r the driver paying proper attention
and it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when parking the vehicle or carrying out similar manoeuvres.•
You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no
small obstacle, such as a rock, thin po
st, trailer drawbar etc., behind your

vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces
of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the parking aid. Thus, these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Note
•
The parking aid does not operate if you are towing a trailer (applies to models
which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).•
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 se
conds after switching the ignition on
and engaging reverse gear, and there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.•
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.Front and rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warning
of obstacles in front and behind
the vehicle.
The audible parking aid determines the dist
ance between the front or rear bumper
and an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The sensors are integrated in the front and rear bumper. The signal tones for the front parking aid sound higher as standard than for the rear parking aid. Th
e tones of the parking aid can be adapted
in the menu of the information display*
⇒page 30.
Range of sensors The distance warning begins at a distance
of about 120 cm from the obstacle in
front of the vehicle (area
⇒fig. 140
) and about 160 cm from the obstacle
behind the vehicle (area
⇒page 122, fig. 138
). The interval between the
warning signals becomes shorter as the clearance is reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance
of approx. 30 cm (area ) - danger area.
From this moment on do not continue driving!
If the vehicle is equipped with a
factory-fitted towing device*, the border
of the danger area
starts - continuous
tone - 5 cm further behind the vehicle.
The vehicle can be extended through an
installed detachable towing device. On vehicles equipped wi
th a factory-fitted radio* or na
vigation*, the distance to the
obstruction is shown graphically on the disp
lay. On vehicles with a factory-fitted
towing device, the rear sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The driver is also informed of the radio* or the navigation* by a graphic display (vehicle towing a trailer) on the display. The radio* or navi
gation*, which is factory-fitted, can be set
so that the play function volume decrea
ses when activating the parking aid, see
Owner's Manual radio* or navigation*. This
improves the audibility of the parking
aid.
