Heating and air conditioning system
98Recirculated air mode In recirculated air mode air is sucked
out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air
outside the vehicle from getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a
tunnel or when standi
ng in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button
⇒page 96, fig. 108
.
Switching recirculated air mode off– Press again the button - the warning light in the button goes out. The recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution control is in position
⇒page 96, fig. 108
. You can also switch recirculated air mode on
again from this setting by re
peatedly pressing button .
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 atten-tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.Climatic* (semi-automatic air conditioning system)Description The Climatic is a combined cooling and heating system. It makes it possible to optimally control the air
temperature at any season of the
year.Description of the Climatic It is important for your safety and for your
driving comfort that the Climatic is operating
properly.
The cooling only operates if button
⇒page 99, fig. 109
is pressed, and the
following conditions are met:•
engine running,
•
outside temperature above approx. +2°C and
•
blower switch switched
on (positions 1 to 4).
If the cooling system is switched on, th
e temperature and air humidity drops in the
vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of the car is enhanced as a result of this partic- ularly at high outside temperatures and a high air humidity. The system prevents the windows misting up during the cold season of the year. The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. It is possible to briefly activate recirculat
ed air mode in order to enhance the cooling
effect
⇒
.
Air at a temperature of about 5°C may flow
out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operatin
g. Lengthy and uneven distribution of the
air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons. The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order to ensure that the heating and cooling systems operate properly. After switching on the cooling
Condensation
from the evaporator of the air condi-
tioning may drip down and form a puddle be
low the vehicle. This is quite normal and
not an indication of a leak!
WARNING
•
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the
windows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about how to correctly operate
the heating and ventilation systems, how to demist
and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.•

We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evapor
ator of the air conditioning system. This
produces a permanent odour when the air co
nditioning system is operating which can
only be eliminated through considerable
effort and expense (replacement of
compressor).Using the systemFig. 109 Climatic: Control elementsSetting temperature– Turn the control dial

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 atten- tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.Using the air conditioning system economicallyThe compressor on the air conditioning syst
em uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption. It recommended to open the windows or the
doors of a vehicle for which the interior
has been strongly heated through the effect
of direct sunlight in order to allow the
heated air to escape. The cooling system should not be switched
on while travelling when the window is
open.
The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching in the cooling system just by switching to fresh air mode.
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 233.
•
The cooling system has switched off auto
matically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot
⇒page 17.
If you are not able to rectify the operational
problem yourself, or if the cooling capacity
decreases, switch the cooling system off. Contact a specialist garage.Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description The Climatronic system is a combination of an automatic heating, fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the occu-pants 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 elim- inates the need to alter the settings manually. The
automatic mode

– Press the button . In the right or left top corner a warning light lights up,
depending on which unit was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button lights up, the Climatronic operates in “HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of the Climatronic. When pressing again the button , the Cl
imatronic changes into the “LOW” mode
and the warning light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking
into account the no
ise level, this is
more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air conditioning system is reduced particularly if th
e vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing again the button , yo
u change into the “HIGH” mode.
The automatic mode is switched off by pres
sing the button for the air distribution or
increasing or decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is nevertheless regulated.

the function of the ventilation remains
active when no lower temperature than the outside temperature can be reached.
Setting temperatureYou can separate the interior temperature for the left and right side separately. – You can set the temperature for both sides
after switching on the ignition with the
control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial . The
warning light in the button lights up,
this indicates that differing tempera-
tures for the left and right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button lights up, the temperature for both sides cannot be set with the control dial . You can
reinitiate this functi
on by pressing the
button . The warning light in the button which indicates the possibility to set differing temperatures for the left and right side, goes out. You can set the interior temperature between +18°C and +26°C. The interior temper- ature is regulated automatically within this
range. If you chose a temperature 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 positions the Climatroni
c operates at maximum cooling or heating
capacity, respectively. The temperatur
e is not controlled in this case.
Lengthy and uneven distri
bution 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 distribution 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 tunn
el 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 co
ntrol is switched on, the air distribution
control will temporarily be switched off. If
the concentration of po
llutants decreases to
the normal level, the air distribution 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.
