Caution
Please ensure that the heating elements of the rear window heater and the foldable
luggage compartment cover are not damaged as a result of objects placed in this
area.Variable loading floor* (Combi)The variable loading floor makes it easier to handle bulky goods and creates an even
luggage compartment floor when the rear seats are folded forward. The maximum
permissable surface load of the variable loading floor is 75 kg.
Removing the variable loading floor– Unlock the loading floor by turning the lo cking bolts by approx. 90° to the left
 fig. 73 .
– Fold together the loading floor and take it out by moving in direction of arrow.Remove carrier rails– Unlock the carrier rails by turning the arbor-mounted fixing eyes to the right by approx. 90° and take out the carrier rails.Install carrier rails– Place the carrier rails in the original po sition and attach them with the aid of the
mountable fixing eyes by turning to the left by approx. 90° at the fixed eyes of
the body.Installing the variable loading floor– Place the loading floor once folded together onto the carrier rails.
– Fold open the loading floor.
– Lock the loading floor by turning the locking bolts by approx. 90° to the right.
WARNING

WARNING

The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably
attached - risk of accident!

You must on no account exceed the pe rmissible roof load, the permissible
axle loads and the permissible gross weight of your vehicle - risk of accident!

Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle change when you
transport heavy or bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity an d the increased wind attack area - risk
of accident! You must absolutely adapt your style of driving and the speed of
the vehicle to the sp ecific circumstances.
Cup holder in front centre consoleAfter pressing in direction of arrow, the cup holder slides out and opens up fig. 81 .

they may spill - risk of scalding!

Do not use any cups or beakers which are made of brittle material (e.g.
glass, porcelain). You might be injured by them in the event of an accident.
Caution
Do not open the beverages in the cup holder while driving. They may spill when
braking and while doing so damage the vehicle.Note holderThe note holder is designed e.g. for attaching a car park ticket in parking areas.

Heating and air conditioning systemAir outlet ventsFig. 94 Air outlet ventsOpen air outlet vents– Turn the vertical thumbwheel (not when in the end position).Close air outlet vents– Turn the vertical wheel into the end position.Redirecting air flow– Swivel upward or downward the grille of the vents in order to change the direction
of the air flow using the vert ically arranged thumbwheel.
– Turn the horizontal thumbwheel on the vent to the right or left in order to change
the air flow to the appropriate side.
You can set the air supply to the individu al air outlet vents using the control
 fig. 95 . Air outlet vents 3 and 4  fig. 94 can also be opened or closed individually.
Unwarmed or cooled air will flow out of the opened air outlet vents according to the
setting of the control dial fig. 95 and according to outer atmospheric
conditions.
HeatingUsing the system
The heating system delivers air into the interior of the vehicle and
warms it as required.Setting temperature– Turn the control dial fig. 95 to the right in order to increase the temperature.
– Turn the control dial to the left in order to increase the temperature.Controlling blower– Turn the blower switch into one of the po sitions, 1 to 4, in order to switch the
blower on.
– Turn the blower switch into position 0 in order to switch the blower off.
– If you wish to shut off the fresh air su pply, use the button - recirculated air
mode .Control for air distribution– You can adjust the direction of the air flow using the air distribution control
 page 77.

Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standi ng in a traffic jam.Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button page 77, fig. 95 .Switching recirculated air mode off– Press again the button - the warning light in the button goes out.
The button cannot be pressed if the control dial is in the position
 or close
to this position.
WARNING
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 atten-
tion 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.Air conditioning system*Description
The air conditioning system is a combined cooling and heating system.
It makes it possible to optimally control the air temperature at any
season of the year.Description of the air conditioning system
It is important for your safety and for your driving comfort that the air conditioning
system is operating properly. The air conditioning only operates if button
page 80, fig. 96 is pressed and
the following conditions are met:

engine running,

outside temperature above +5 °C and

blower switch switched on (positions 1 to 4).
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  .
Air at a temperature of about 5°C may flow out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven distribution of the
air flow out of the vents (in particular at the leg area) and large differences in temper-
ature, for example when getting out of the ve hicle, can result in chills in sensitive
persons.
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.
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air condi-
tioning may drip down and form a puddle be low the vehicle. This is quite normal and
not an indication of a leak!
WARNING

For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the
windows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about
how to correctly operate the 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
