xHold down the button Ÿpage 100, fig. 59 with the tailgate open for at
least three seconds.
xThe opening angle is reset to the original factory setting.
WARNING
Unsuitable or careless closing and locking of the tailgate could cause
serious injuries.
xNever allow children to play inside or around the vehicle without super-
vision, especially if the tailgate is open. Children could enter the luggage
compartment, close the tailgate and become trapped. A locked vehicle can
be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on the
time of year, thus causing serious injuries/illness and even death.
WARNING
It is possible that the tailgate does not open completely or, if it is open,
closes alone if a large amount of snow has built up on it or if a luggage rack
is fitted. In this case, the tailgate must be supported.
Caution
xWhen using a trailer, ensure that there is sufficient space to open and
close the tailgate.
xBefore opening the tailgate, any kind of equipment carrier should be
removed, for example a bicycle carrier.
Caution
In case of repeated short-term use, the system is turned off to avoid over-
heating.
xWhen it has cooled, it may be used once again. During this time, the tail-
gate may be manually opened or closed applying a little more effort.
xIf the vehicle battery is disconnected or the fuse blows when the tailgate
is open, the tailgate system must be re-initialised. To do this, close the tail-
gate.
Note
Before closing the tailgate, make sure that the key has not been left inside the
boot.

Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning 184
Switching the Climatronic temperature measuring unit
Press and hold the and buttons to switch the temperature display
between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Heat
The maximum heat output required to defrost windows quickly is only avail-
able when the engine has reached its normal running temperature.
The air conditioning system does not switch on
If the air conditioning system cannot be switched on, this may be caused by
the following:
xThe engine is not running.
xThe fan is switched off.
xThe climate control fuse has blown.
xThe outside temperature is lower than approximately +3 °C (+38 °F).
xThe climate control system compressor has been temporarily switched off
because the engine coolant temperature is too high.
xAnother fault in the vehicle. Have the climate control system checked by
a qualified workshop.
Things to note
If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensation
can drip off the evaporator in the cooling system and form a pool underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak!
Dust and pollen filter
The dust and pollen filter with its activated charcoal cartridge serves as a
barrier against impurities in the ambient air.
For the climate control system to work with maximum efficiency, the dust and
pollen filter must be replaced at the intervals specified in the Maintenance
Programme.If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due to use in areas with very high
levels of air pollution, the filter must be changed more frequently than stated
in the Service Schedule.
Note
The climate control system must left running for a few minutes to reach the
set temperature in the vehicle interior.
Note
After starting it, any residual humidity in the climate control system could
mist over the windscreen.
Note
The air from the vents flows through the passenger compartment and out
through the outlets below the rear window. Do not cover these outlets with
items of clothing or other objects.

Fuses
Introduction
Due to the constant update of vehicles, fuse assignments depending on
equipment and the use of the same fuse for various electrical components, at
the time of printing this manual it is not possible to provide an up-to-date
summary of the electrical components fuse positions. For detailed informa-
tion about the fuse positions, please consult a qualified workshop.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various electrical components. Like-
wise, an electrical component can be protected by several fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the problem has been solved. If a newly
inserted fuse blows after a short time, you must have the electrical system
checked by a qualified dealership as soon as possible.
Additional information and warnings:
xWorking in the engine compartment Ÿpage 304
WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can give serious electrical
shocks, causing burns and even death!
xNever touch the electrical wiring of the ignition system.
xTake care not to cause short circuits in the electrical system.
WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or bridging a current circuit without
fuses can cause a fire and serious injury.
xNever use a fuse with a higher value. Only replace fuses with a fuse of
the same amperage (same colour and markings) and size.
xNever repair a fuse.
xNever replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple or similar.
Caution
xTo avoid damage to the vehicles electric system, before replacing a fuse
turn off the ignition, the lights and all electrical elements and remove the
keys from the ignition.
xIf you replace a fuse with higher-rating fuse, you could cause damage to
another part of the electrical system.
xProtect the fuse boxes when open to avoid the entry of dust or humidity.
Dirt and humidity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to the electrical
system.
Note
One single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Note
Several consumers could run over one single fuse.

Vehicle fuses
Only replace fuses with a fuse of the same amperage (same colour and mark-
ings) and size.Identifying fuses by colours
To open the dashboard fuse box
xReach behind the cover with your hand Ÿfig. 209 and pull forwards.
To open the engine compartment fuse box
xOpen the bonnet ’ Ÿpage 304.
xMove the attachment tabs forwards, in the direction indicated by the
arrow to release the fuse box cover Ÿfig. 210.
xThen lift the cover out.
xTo fit the cover, place it on the fuse box. Push the attachment tabs back,
in the opposite direction indicated by the arrow until they click audibly into
place.
In is possible that there are more fuses behind a cover in the lower left-hand
side of the luggage compartment.

Caution
xAlways carefully remove the fuse box covers and refit them correctly to
avoid problems with your vehicle.
xProtect the fuse boxes when open to avoid the entry of dust or humidity.
Dirt and humidity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to the electrical
system.
Note
In the vehicle, there are more fuses than those indicated in this chapter.
These should only be changed by a specialist workshop.
Replacing a blown fusePreparation
xSwitch off the ignition, lights and all electrical equipment.
xOpen the corresponding fuse box Ÿpage 357
Identifying a blown fuse
A fuse is blown if its metal strip is ruptured Ÿfig. 211.
Point a lamp at the fuse. This will make it easier to see if the fuse is blown.
To replace a fuse
xIf necessary, remove the plastic pincers from the fuse box cover.
xFor small fuses, insert the pincers from above Ÿfig. 212 .
xFor larger fuses, insert the pincers from one side of the fuse Ÿfig. 212
.
xRemove the relevant fuse.
xReplace the blown fuse by one with an identical amperage rating (same
colour and markings) and identical size Ÿ.
xReplace the cover.
