(I] Tips
If the climate control is running in cooling mode, air flows mainly
from vents @ and @. To achieve adequate cooling, you should never
close these vents completely. •
Applies to vehicles: with Deluxe automatic cl imate control plus
Rear air vents
The rear air vents are located in the center console.
- Rotate the thumbwheel to open and close the vents .
- To adjust the direction of the airflow from the outlet,
move the tab in the center of the outlet in the desired
direction . The direction of the air delivered from the vents
can be adjusted horizontally and vertically.
The air vents are actuated either automatically or manually
depending on the operating mode selected. Heated or unheated
fresh air, or cooled air flows from the vents .
The air vents to heat the rear footwell are located under the front
seats.
(I] Tips
If the climate control is operating in cooling mode, air flows primarily
from the vents in the center console. To achieve adequate cooling,
you should never close these vents completely. •

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 or the panoramic
sliding/tilting sunroof* 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. •

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.
I n the event that the windows fog up during automatic recirculation ,
press the
l<:wl button immediately.
Under certain operating conditions, automatic recirculation is
switched off automatically. When outside temperatures are below
about
50 °F ( +10 °C), automatic recirculation is limited to
30 seconds. When outside temperatures are below about 30 °F (-
1 °C),
automatic recirculation is limited to 15 seconds.•

Select distance
The distance at which the adaptive cru ise control follows a vehicle in
front is determined by
time intervals . A time interval to a vehicle in
front is estab lished and maintained. This produces a speed-depen­
dent interval. The higher the speed, the greater the safety interval in
yards (meters) ~

Th e distances provided are specified values. These distances may
exceed or fall short of these target distances, depending on the
driving situation and the driving style of the vehicle ahead.
Distance 1 ~-~ ---
Thi s sett ing is ideal for brisk driving i n bumper-to-bumper traffic. The
distance is one second. This is the equivalent of, for instance,

Switching on/off
The rear view camera switches on automatically together
with the acoustic park assist when you put the vehicle in
reverse.
Switching on
- Put the vehicle in reverse gear, the acoustic parking
system with rear view camera is activa ted automatically .
Activation of the acoustic parking system is confirmed by
a brief acknowledgement sound.
Switching off
-Drive faster than 6 mph (10 km/h), or
- take the vehicle out of reverse gear. The acoustic parking
system is immediately deactivated, and the rear view
camera picture is deact ivated automatically after a period
of about 15 seconds, or
- switch off the ignition.
T he delay in deactivating the camera provides an uninterrupted view
behind the vehicle espec ially when maneuver ing in tight parking
spaces and prevents the picture from tu rning off the every time you
shift out of reverse .
If the warning message appears in the display but not the rear view
came ra pict ure, read and confi rm the warning message . T he acoustic
distance s ignal is always active. If
you press a function button on the MMI control console, the rear
view came ra pictu re disappears. The rear view camera pict ure reap­
pears the next time you park .
Further information on the warning message and the MMI control
conso le can be found in the MMI instruction booklet.
[I] Tips
• The rear view came ra pi cture is avai lable as soon as the MM I
Display or the MMI is switched on, or the start-up phase is completed.
• Keep the sensors in the rear bumper and the rear view came ra lens
clean and free of snow and ice, so that the parking system can work
properly . P lease follow the additional notes on~

& WARNING
• Never use the Homelink'"' transmitter with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and rever se feature as
required by fed eral safety standards. This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April
l , 1982 .
• A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling
the door to stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety
standards . Using a garage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death.
& WARNING (cont inu ed )
• For safety reasons never release the parking brake o r start the
engine while anyone i s standing in front of the vehicle .
• A ga rage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set in
motion when the Homelink ® remote control is being
programmed. If the device is repeatedly activated, this can over­
s train motor and dam age its electri cal components · an over­
heated motor is a fi re hazard!
• To avoid pos sible injurie s
or property damage , plea se always
make absolutely certain that no persons or objects are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated.
