Economical use of the climate control
system
Economical use of the climate control system helps save
fuel.
When the climate control system is working in cooling mode,
engine performance is reduced and fuel consumption is
affected. To keep the time the climate control system is on as
short as possible, you should do the following:
- To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by pressing the AC
button (indicator light goes out).
- In addition, if you open the window while driving, turn off
cooling mode by pressing the AC button (indicator light
goes out).
- If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the heat of the sun,
briefly open doors and windows.
~ For the sake of the environment
When you save fuel, you reduce emissions from the vehicle. •
Applies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic climate cont rol plus
Deluxe automatic climate control plus -
basic settings
The basic climate control settings can be adjusted in the
radio or MM!*.
-Select: Function button (CAR]> Climate control switch.
Automatic recirculation
An air quality sensor detects increased concentrations of pollutants
in the outside air and automatically switches to recirculation mode. We recommend that you always keep automatic
recirculation ON to
prevent polluted outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
If the
air quality sensor located in the climate control system detects
polluted outside air, the sensor decides whether the air pollution can
be reduced by the factory-installed pollutant filter or whether it is
necessary to switch to recirculation. With heavy concentrations of
pollutants, the climate control system is switched automatically to
recirculation mode and the supply of outside air is blocked. As soon
as the concentration of pollutants in the outside air drops, fresh air is
supplied to the vehicle interior again.
In the event that the windows fog up during automatic recirculation,
press the
l@I button immediately.
Under certain operating conditions, automatic recirculation is
switched off automatically. When outside temperatures are below
about 50
°F ( + 10 °(), automatic recirculation is limited to
30 seconds. When outside temperatures are below about 30
°F (-
1 °C), automatic recirculation is limited to 15 seconds .
Synchronization
After Synchronization is set to on, all of the subsequent climate
control settings (except for seat heating*) for the driver are trans­
ferred to the front passenger .
Synchronization is canceled when settings are adjusted on the front
passenger's side .•

Electromechanical parking brake
Operation
The electromechanical parking brake replaces the hand
brake.

consol e: Par king brake
-Pull on the switch @~ fig. 110 to apply the parking
brake . The indicator light in the switch illuminates.
- Step on the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal and press
the switch at the same time to release the parking brake.
The indicator light in the switch goes out.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electromechanical parking brake.
The parking brake is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling
unintentiona lly and replaces the hand brake. In addition to the normal functions of a traditional hand brake, the
electromecha
nical parking brake provides various convenience and
safety functions.
When starting from rest
• The integral starting assist helps you when driving by automati­
cally releas ing the parking brake=>
page 111, "Starting from rest".
• When starting on inclines, the starting assist prevents the vehicle
from unintentionally ro ll ing back. The braking fo rce of the parking
brake is not released until sufficient driving force has been built up at
the whee ls.
Emergency brake function
An emergency brake ensures that the vehicle can be slowed down
even if the
normal brakes fail=> page 112, "Emergency braking" .
Indicator lights
• If the parking brake is closed with the ignition switched on the
ind icator lights come on:::, (USA models)/ ®) (Canada models) in the
instrument cluster and the switch.
• If the park ing brake is closed with the ign it ion
switched off the

& WARNING
If a gear or a drive range (automati c transmission ) is engaged
with the vehicle stationary and the engine running , you must in no
instance accelerate or release the clutch carelessly. Otherwise the
vehicle will start to move immediately -risk of an accident.
