switched on.
If the cooling system is switched on, the 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 c
oolant 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
⇒page 104.
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. The AC compressor is switched off at a hi
gh coolant temperature in order to provide
cooling at a high load of the engine. After switching on the cooling
Condensation
from the evaporator of the air condi-
tioning may drip down and form a puddle be

•
Move the air outlet vents
3 and
4, so that the air flow is
directed slightly upwards.
WARNING
•
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the
windows are free of ice, snow and mistin
g. Please familiarize yourself about
how to correctly operate th
e heating and ventilation systems, how to demist
and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.•
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 accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Note
•
If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may
be produced at the evaporator because of
deposits. Switch the cooling system on at
least once a month for approximately 5 minut
es at the highest blower stage - also
during the cold season of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a window for a short time.•
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 conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable
effort and expense (replacement of
compressor).•
The used air streams out through the air
removal openings in the luggage compart-
ment.•
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted
radio* or navigation*, 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*.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)*Description and important information The auxiliary heating (auxiliary he
ating and ventilation) heats or
supplies the interior of the vehicl
e with fresh air independent of the
engine.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the Climatic or Climatronic. It can be used when stationary, when engi
ne is switched off for preheating of the
vehicle as well as while driving (only during the heating phase of the engine). The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) wa
rms up the coolant during the combustion
of fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant warms up the air, which (if the blower speed is not set to zero) flows into the occupant compartment. Auxiliary ventilation The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively decreased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).

WARNING
•
The auxiliary heating must never be op
erated in closed rooms - risk of
poisoning!•
The auxiliary heating must not be runn
ing during refueling - risk of fire.
•
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of the
vehicle. Therefore do not place the vehicl
e, if you wish to operate the auxiliary
heating, in such a way that the exhaust
gases of the auxiliary heating can come
easily into contact with inflammable materi
als (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflam-
mable substances (e.g. fuel run out).
Note
If the auxiliary heating runs, the fuel co
nsumption comes from the vehicle tank. The
auxiliary heating automatically controls the filling level in the fuel tank. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the fuel tank, the function of the auxiliary heating is blocked.•
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of the
vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.•
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is
running, the vehicle ba
ttery discharges. If
the auxiliary heating and ventilation has be
en operated several times over a longer
period, the vehicle must be driven a few ki
lometers in order to recharge the vehicle
battery.•
The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.•
At low outside temperatures, this can result
in a formation of water vapour in the
area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.•
After switching off the auxiliary heating,
the coolant pump runs for a short period.
•
The auxiliary heating and ventilation does no
t switch on or comes on, if the vehicle
battery indicates a low loading state.•
The auxiliary heating (auxilia
ry heating) does not switch on, if the following was
shown in the information display or before switching off the ignition:
Please refuel!.
.
•
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must
be free of ice, snow or leaves in order
to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
•
So that warm air can flow in
to the vehicle after switching on the auxiliary heating,
you must maintain the temperature normally selected by you (we recommend 22°C for Climatic, Climatronic and for the heat
ing turn the regulator A to the right
⇒ page 96, fig. 108
). It is recommended to put the air flow in the position
.
•
On vehicles with DPF (diesel particle filt
er) the warm coolant heats up the engine.
Direct switching on/offThe auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and vent
ilation) can be switched on or off at any
time
directly
using the button on the operating part of the Climatic, Climatronic or
heating
⇒fig. 111

more than 3 seconds.
WARNING
•
Please note that the handbrake must be fully released. A handbrake which
is only partially released can result in the rear brakes overheating which will have a negative effect on the 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 the 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 di
stance between the rear bumper and an
obstacle located behind the ve
hicle with the aid of ultras
ound sensors. The tones of
the parking aid can be adapted in th
e menu of the information display*
⇒page 27.
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. 117
). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the clear-
ance 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 furt
her behind the vehicle. Th
e vehicle can be extended
through an installed deta
chable towing device.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted
radio* or navigation system*, the distance
to the obstruction is shown graphically in the display. On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, the sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The driver is informed about this by a graphic display (vehicle towing

Activating The parking aid is activated automatically when
reverse gear
is engaged and the igni-
tion is turned on. This is confirme
d by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating The parking aid is deactivated
by removing the reverse gear.
WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute for 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, befo
re reversing, that there is no small
obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, 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 re
cognised 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 seconds after switching the ignition on and
engaging reverse gear, and there is no obstac
le close to your vehicle, 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.Fig. 118 Activating the
parking aid / detection range of the front sensors
The audible parking aid determines the distan
ce 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 fr
ont parking aid sound higher as standard
than for the rear parking aid. The tones of the parking aid can be adapted in the menu of the information display*
⇒page 27.
Range of sensors The distance warning begins at a distance
of about 120°cm from the obstacle in front
of the vehicle (area
⇒fig. 118
) and about 160 cm from the obstacle behind the
vehicle (area )
⇒page 113, fig. 117
. 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 vehi
cle can be extended through an installed
detachable towing device. On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted
radio* or navigation system*, the distance
to the obstruction is shown graphically in the
display. On vehicles with a factory-fitted

The external sound source of the park
assist and the parking aid can be
disruptively influenced and under unfavourable conditions, objects or people cannot be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Caution
•
If other vehicles are parked behind or on
the kurb, the park assist guides your
ve hicle be yond the kurb or onto it. Make s ure that the whee ls or the whe el rims of yo ur vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.•
You should satisfy yourself before parking that there is no small obstacle, such as a
rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front
or behind your vehicle. Such an obstacle
might not be within the range detected by the sensors.•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or st
ructures of certain objects such as wire
mesh fences, powder snow etc..., ca
nnot be recognised by the system.
•
The evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure depends on the
circumference of the wheels. The system does not function correctly if your vehicle is mounted with wheels of non-permissible
size, snow chains or a temporary spare
wheel (in order to reach the nearest workshop). If the tyres other than those excepted by the manufacturer are mounted, the resulting position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. The parking assistant system automatically performs the correction of the wheel circumference when driving.•
The accuracy of the evaluation for the parking space can be influenced by the
incorrectly determined outside temperature if
the later is influenced by the thermal
radiation of the engine i.e for stop and go in a traffic jam.•
In order to avoid damaging th
e sensors while cleaning wi
th high-pressure cleaners
or steam jets, the sensors must only be
directly sprayed for short periods while a
minimum distance of 10 cm must be observed.
Note
•
A component of the park assist is the front and rear parking aid*.
•
The electronic stability programme (ESP*)
must always be switched on for the
parking procedure.
•
Only the front parking aid operates if yo
u are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factory-fitted towing de
vice*). This is why it is not possible to
park backwards with the help of the
park assist when towing a trailer.
