Tyre pressure monitoring*Introduction
The tyre pressure monitoring system constantly checks the
pressure of the tyres.The system warns the driver in the event of a loss of pressure by means of
symbols and messages in the instrument panel display. The system works
with the help of the ABS sensors in the wheels.
Please bear in mind that the tyre inflation pressure is also influenced by the
temperature of the tyre. Tyre pressure increases about 0.1 bar for each 10 °C
in tyre temperature increase. The tyre heats up while the vehicle is being
driven and the tyre pressure will rise accordingly. Therefore, you should only
adjust the tyre pressures when they are
cold (i.e. approximately at ambient
temperature).
To ensure that the tyre pressure monitoring system works reliably, you should
check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressures at regular intervals and
store the correct pressures (reference values) in the system.
A tyre pr essure i nfor ma ti on lab e l is a tta che d to t he insi de o f the fu el ta nk f lap.
WARNING
•Never adjust tyre pressure when the tyres are hot. This may damage or
even burst the tyres. Risk of accident!•An insufficiently inflated tyre flexes a lot more at high speeds and
causes significant heating of the tyre. Under these conditions, the tyre
bead may be released or the tyre may burst. Risk of accident!For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres lead to increased fuel consumption and tyre wear.
Note
•Responsibility for ensuring that the tyres are correctly inflated remains
with the driver; the system can only provide assistance.•Pressure can only be adjusted when the tyres are at ambient
temperature.

The heated rear window switches off automatically after about 10 minutes if
the outside temperature is above 0 °C.
Depending on the outside temperature, the exterior mirrors are also heated
while the heated rear window is turned on. The exterior mirror heating is not activated in temperatures above approxi-
mately 20 °C.
For the sake of the environment
Switch off the heated rear window as soon as the rear window has demisted.

Air conditioning
166Defrosting
The windscreen and side windows are defrosted or demisted
as quickly as possible.– To enable this mode, press the ⇒page 164, fig. 141 button.
– To disable, press the button again or select the button.The temperature is regulated automatically. The air output is increased to
maximum and most of the air comes out of outlets 1 and 2 ⇒page 169.
The air recirculation and ECON modes are switched off when the button is
pressed.Air recirculation: manual activation
The air recirculation setting prevents fumes etc. from entering
the interior.Activating air recirculation mode
–Press button ⇒page 164, fig. 141 ⇒ .
Deactivating air recirculation mode
– Press the button again or
– Press the button or
–Press button .In this setting, the air in the vehicle is constantly recirculated. We recommend
using the air recirculation mode in the following circumstances:
•When driving through a tunnel or in traffic congestions, to prevent
exhaust gas entering the interior of the vehicle.WARNING
Do not drive for too long with the air recirculation mode enabled because,
if the compressor is disconnected, the windscreen may mist up because no
fresh air is entering the interior of the vehicle, with the subsequent risk of
accidents.ECON Mode (economy)
ECON mode helps save fuel.– To activate, press the button ⇒page 164, fig. 141 .
– To deactivate, press the button again or select the button.Air cooling is disconnected in ECON mode. The heating and the blower are
adjusted automatically. “ECON” stands for “Economy”. Disconnecting air
cooling (compressor) reduces fuel consumption.
Please note that the interior temperature must not be lower than the outside
temperature in ECON mode. The blower does not cool or dehumidify the air in
the interior. The windows could therefore mist up.
In diesel vehicles, the auxiliary heater is switched off in ECON mode to save
fuel.
Note
If the diode on the ECON button continues to light up when the ECON mode
has been switched off (i.e. the air conditioner has been switched on) this is

170Each of the three buttons has a specific function. The numbers relate to the
air outlets ⇒page 169, fig. 143.
Air directed to windows
This setting directs all the air to outlets 1 and 2. Unlike in setting , the
volume of air delivery remains the same.
Air to the driver/front passenger
All the air comes from outlets 3 and 4 in the dash panel and from the rear of
the centre console.
Air to the footwells
Most of the air emerges from outlets 5 and the outlets under the front seats.
Some of the air will also be issued from outlets 3 and 4.
Note
In all of the above air distribution settings, a small amount of air will still
come from the other outlets.Economical use of the air conditioner
Economical use of the air conditioner will help save fuel.Engine power is reduced and fuel consumption increases when the
air conditioner is in co oling mode. To ensure that the system is only
switched on when it is really necessary, please note the following
points:
– Select ECON mode if you wish to save fuel.
– S e le c t ECO N m o d e i f yo u d e ci d e t o o p e n t h e w i n d o w s o r su n r o o f * while driving. – If the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun, open the
windows and doors for a short time to cool the vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
By saving fuel you also reduce the amount of pollutants emitted from your
vehicle.Key settings
When the ignition is switched on, the air conditioner settings
assigned to the key are selected automatically.The air conditioner settings selected are automatically stored and assigned
to the key in use. When the vehicle is started, the air conditioner automati-
cally selects the settings assigned to the key. Hence, every driver automati-
cally obtains his/her preferred settings without having to select them manu-
ally.
Note
Should another driver use the key and enter other settings, the previous
settings will be deleted.

from the sunroof. Please ensure that outlets 3 and 4 are open ⇒page 169,
fig. 143 to ensure the best possible ventilation.
The blower only works when the sunroof is closed or tilted open at the rear.
If the air recirculation mode is on when you switch off the engine, the air
conditioner will automatically switch to fresh air ventilation.Auxiliary heater*Diesel vehicles are fitted with an auxiliary heater
2) to raise the temperature of
the interior as quickly as possible. At outdoor temperatures below +5 °C and
with the engine running, the auxiliary heater will switch on and off automati-
cally depending on the temperature of the coolant.
In order to save fuel, the auxiliary heater can be can be switched off by briefly
pressing the button on the air conditioner.
Seat heating*
The surface and backrest of the front seats can be electrically
heated.Turn thumbwheel or ⇒fig. 144 to switch on and adjust the
