AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
The system controls the temperature,
amount and distribution of the air flow
automatically and adjusts them according
to the driving and weather conditions.
Pressing the
AUTObutton once switches
on the auto mode.
The system in your vehicle is dual-zone
automatic climate control. When the
system is in mono mode, all the
temperature zones are linked to the
driver's zone. When you switch mono
mode off, the dual-zone system allows
you to set different temperatures for the
driver's and front passenger's side. Note:Avoid adjusting the settings when
the vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The automatic climate controladjusts to the current circumstancesautomatically. For the system to functionproperly, the side and centre vents shouldbe fully open.
Note:The sunload sensor is located on
top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor with any objects.
Note:At low outside temperatures, when
the system is in auto mode, the air stream will be directed to the windscreen and theside windows as long as the engine iscold.

Note:For information on the automatic
climate control, on vehicles fitted with a combined Navigation and automaticclimate control system, see separatehandbook.
Setting the temperature You can set the temperature between
16ºC and 28ºC in steps of 0.5ºC. In
position
LO(below 16ºC) the system will
switch to permanent cooling, in HI(above
28ºC) to permanent heating, and not
regulate a stable temperature.
Mono mode
In mono mode, the temperature settings
for both the driver’s and passenger’s side
are linked. If you adjust the temperature
using the rotary control on the driver’s
side, the settings will be adjusted to the
same setting on the passenger’s side. In
mono mode, MONO appears in the
display. To switch mono mode off
Select a temperature for the passenger’s
side with the rotary control on the
passenger’s side. Mono mode will switch
off and
MONO disappears from the
display. The temperature for the driver’s
side will remain unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver and passenger side
temperatures independently of each
another. The temperature settings for
each side are shown in the display. You
can set a temperature difference of up to
4ºC.
Note:
If you set a temperature of greater
than 4°C, the temperature on the other side will be adjusted so that the differenceremains 4°C.
Note:If you set one of the sides to HIor
LO, both sides will be set to HI or LO.
To switch mono mode back on To switch mono mode back on, press the
MONO
button.MONO reappears in the
display and the passenger’s side
temperature will be adjusted to the
driver’s side temperature.

AUXILIARY HEATER
Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only
operate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and theambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). The heater will not operate if thebattery is low.
Note:The heating depends on the
outside air temperature.
Note:When the parking heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This isnormal.
Note:On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, airdistribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates
independently of the vehicle heater by
heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is
fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can
also use it while the vehicle is in motion to
help the vehicle heater warm up the
interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater
provides the following benefits:
• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in
the event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating
temperature sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has
performed one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only
be carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.

the vehicle interior on vehicles with a
diesel engine. It is switched on or off
automatically depending on the outside
air temperature, the coolant temperature
and the alternator load.
Fuel operated heater
(depending on country)
The fuel operated heater aids in warming
the engine and the vehicle interior on
vehicles with a petrol or diesel engine. It
is switched on or off automatically
depending on the outside air temperature
and the coolant temperature, unless you
have deactivated it. When the fuel
operated heater is operating, a message
appears in the information display. See
Information displays (page 68).
