Air Conditioning (A/C) System Health and Safety Precautions
WARNINGS:
Only qualified technicians are allowed to
work on air conditioning (A/C) systems.
Air conditioning (A/C) system components
can become particularly hot or cold.
Make sure that the air conditioning (A/C)
system is at ambient temperature before
carrying out any repair.
When handling refrigerants, always wear
protective goggles and gloves made of
fluoroelastomer. Leather or fabric gloves
are not suitable.
SKIN CONTACT: If liquid refrigerant comes
into contact with the skin, it produces
severe frostbite. Immediately flush affected
areas with plenty of cold running water for
15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: If refrigerant comes into
contact with the eyes, immediately flush
the eyes with plenty of running water for
15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
INHALED: Toxic gases generated when
refrigerant is heated are hazardous to
health. The gases have an irritating smell
and can cause lung damage. The
symptoms can continue for a long time
after having been in contact with the gases.
The gases can cause lung damage even if
the amount of gas in the air is too small to
smell.
Refrigerant is flammable and explosive.
Make sure that refrigerant bottles are not
exposed to temperatures greater than 45°C.
Make sure that the local regulations
regarding work on air conditioning (A/C)
systems are adhered to.
Make sure that refrigerant bottles are
closed properly.
Gaseous refrigerant has a higher density
than air. There is a danger of suffocation
when working close to the ground or in
workshop pits.
Provide adequate ventilation when
handling refrigerant.
Never release refrigerant into the
atmosphere.
Only use special tools, equipment and
lubricants that are approved for the type
of refrigerant being used.
Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for the correct servicing unit
operating procedure.
CAUTIONS:
Do not mix refrigerant oils for different
types of refrigerant.
Never mix different types of refrigerant or
equipment intended for them.
Only use refrigerant in gas form when
filling the system through the low-pressure
connection.
Only use refrigerant in liquid form when
filling the system through the
high-pressure connection.
Refrigerant attacks certain plastics. Only
use seals suitable for refrigerant.
If the air conditioning (A/C) compressor is
damaged, the fixed orifice tube can
become blocked with metal particles.
Any sort of blockage in the refrigerant
circuit will damage the air conditioning
(A/C) compressor irreparably.
If the air conditioning (A/C) system has
been opened for a period greater than 2
hours, a new receiver drier must be
installed and the evacuating time to be
increased by a minimum of 2 hours.
NOTE: New air conditioning (A/C) compressors
are delivered prefilled.
NOTE: Refrigerant oil in new air conditioning (A/C)
compressors can contain Teflon, visible as white
particles, which will not harm the system.

System Operation
Parking Aid WARNING: It is the driver's responsibility
to stay alert during reversing procedures.
The system may fail to detect small
children or animals.
CAUTION: The driver is responsible for
detecting obstacles and judging the
distance between these and the vehicle.
The system may fail to detect some
hanging objects, barriers, narrow obstacles
or painted surfaces, which could damage
the vehicle. Always pay attention when
parking.
The parking aid provides an audible warning to the
driver if there are any obstacles in front of or behind
the vehicle during reverse parking maneuvers.
At low speeds, the parking aid module uses the
parking aid sensors to monitor the area around the
vehicle. If an object is detected within a monitored
area, the parking aid module emits a warning tone
using the respective parking aid speaker.
The rear parking aid is switched on with the
ignition. However, it is only enabled when reverse
gear is selected.
The front and rear parking aid is always switched
off when the ignition is switched on. It is switched
on when reverse gear is selected or if the parking
aid switch in the center console is actuated up to
a speed of 16 km/h.
The parking aid is switched off when the vehicle is
travelling forwards at more than 16 km/h or if the
parking aid switch in the center console is actuated
again.
When the parking aid module activates the system,
the parking aid switch LED is illuminated. If the
vehicle is only fitted with the rear parking aid, there
is no switch.
The parking aid sensors emit a series of ultrasonic
impulses and switch to receiver mode to receive the echo reflected by an obstacle within the
detection range. The received echo signals are
amplified and converted from an analog signal to
a digital signal by the sensor. The digital signal is
passed to the parking aid module and compared
with pre-programmed data stored in an EEPROM
within the module. The module calculates the
distance to the obstacle by measuring the time
taken between the emitted and received impulses.
If no objects are detected there are no further
warning tones. If an object is detected, repeated
audible tones are emitted from either parking aid
speaker(s) as appropriate. The time delay between
the tones decreases as the distance between the
object and the vehicle decreases, until at
approximately 250 mm (10 inches), the audible
tone becomes continuous.
If the distance between the obstacle and the
vehicle does not decrease, the warning tone
remains constant if the object has been detected
by an internal parking aid sensor. If the obstacle
was detected by an external sensor and the
distance remains unchanged, the warning tone
stops after 3 seconds.
The parking aid module continues to monitor the
distance and will resume the warning tones if a
decrease in distance is detected.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, a signal is
sent to the GEM (generic electronic module) via
the trailer relay. This signal is sent to the parking
aid module via the MS CAN bus. When the parking
aid module detects that a trailer is connected to
the vehicle, the rear parking aid sensors are
disabled to prevent constant warnings due to the
close proximity of the trailer.

Vehicles with upgraded audio system.
The upgraded audio system is available with the
following equipment:
• • Radio/individual CD player with MP3
• • Radio/individual CD player with MP3 and
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
• • Radio with integrated 6x CD changer with MP3
• • Radio with integrated 6x CD changer with MP3
and DAB
DAB radio
DAB is a procedure for digital transmission of radio
programs.
The DAB system was developed in Europe within
the framework of a European development program
and in recent years has been introduced in many
European countries.
The audio signals from up to 12 radio stations are
packaged into a multiplex and bundled into a single
data stream. This is then broadcast via one or more
terrestrial transmitters. This means that individual
transmitters are no longer needed for each radio
station.
In addition to the much larger range of stations that
can be provided to radio listeners through DAB,
there are also several big technical advantages
over the current FM, MW, LW and SW
transmission:
• Provided the receiver can receive the signal from the DAB transmitter, sound reproduction
is guaranteed. There is no fading, as is typical
for AM and mobile FM reception.
• Interference, such as crackling noises caused by high voltage lines, is filtered out by the DAB
receiver. • With DAB, there is no overlapping of different
stations.
• If the transmission signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings while en route, this
causes interference with FM. With DAB,
however, reception is significantly improved by
this.
Service linking
As soon as the audio device no longer receives
the FM signal in sufficient quality, it automatically
switches to the corresponding DAB transmitter, but
the FM display in the audio device remains active.
When the FM signal becomes available again in
sufficient quality, the device automatically switches
back.
AUX port
The audio systems have an auxiliary device input
(AUX IN) which enables the playback of auxiliary
devices such as MiniDisc or MP3 players via the
vehicle's audio system. Sounds is played back
through the vehicle loudspeakers.
Radio remote control. The following functions can be controlled with the
remote control:

System Operation
Anti-theft warning system
Three anti-theft alarm systems are available,
depending on the market and model version:
• The system with perimeter monitoring detects whenever the doors, the hood, the folding rear
window and the liftgate are opened.
• The system with perimeter and interior monitoring in addition detects unauthorised
access, for example, through a broken window.
• A Thatcham category I anti-theft alarm system (mainly for the British market) is fitted with a
horn that has its own battery power supply; it
also uses slightly different detection strategies.
The anti-theft alarm system outputs an acoustic
and visual signal if unauthorised persons attempt
to gain access to the vehicle.
As a visual warning, the system switches on the
hazard warning lights, whilst the acoustic warning
is done with the anti-theft alarm system horn or the
horn with its own battery power supply.
When the ignition is switched off, the anti-theft
alarm system is activated 20 seconds after any
latch is activated, i.e. the hood, all doors, the
folding rear window and the liftgate are alarmed,
provided that they are fully closed. If the hood, one of the doors, the folding rear
window or the liftgate is not completely closed, it
can be opened without the alarm being triggered
since the system was not activated.
The anti-theft alarm system can be switched off by
unlocking the vehicle either via the remote controls
or the door lock.
NOTE:
To switch off the alarm on a Thatcham
category I anti-theft alarm system, the ignition must
be switched on within 12 seconds of the door being
unlocked with the key.
If the folding rear window or the liftgate is opened
via the remote control, the anti-theft alarm system
blocks the trigger for the alarm system or the
interior monitoring (if fitted) for 20 seconds after
closing.
NOTE: If a window is not fully closed, there is a
risk that a false alarm will be triggered. G1065780en

Component Description
Interior scanning sensors
The interior monitoring is an additional security
system that triggers the alarm if unauthorised
access to the vehicle is detected in the area of the
windows.
The transceivers work ultrasonically. The
transmitter transmits at a specific frequency into
the monitoring area. The receiver receives the
corresponding echo signal. Here, the signals are
converted into digital values and compared with
the values from the signals received previously. If
there are significant differences between the two,
a trigger signal is sent to the GEM.
As the period during which no movement is
detected increases, so the sensitivity of the sensors
increases.
Anti-theft alarm horn with integral battery
A special horn is installed for vehicles that have to
comply with the Thatcham category I (CAT 1)
insurance standard. This horn has its own voltage
supply from an integrated battery. This ensures that the alarm horn will still be
powered even if the vehicle battery has been
disconnected.

System Operation
Passive Anti-theft System
The passive anti-theft system PATS (passive
anti-theft system) is based on an electronic engine
immobiliser.
The driver does not need to intervene in any way
to protect the vehicle, since PATS is automatically
activated when the ignition is switched off.
Component Description
Keyless vehicle module (KVM) The PATS functionality is saved in the KVM. After
pressing the start/stop button, the KVM activates
the interior antennas, which then transmit a signal.
If there is a valid passive key in the vehicle interior,
it sends an encrypted signal to the radio frequency
receiver. The radio receiver forwards this signal to
the KVM via a fixed wire. The KVM then forwards
a corresponding identification query via the HS
CAN (controller area network) to the PCM.
If a valid code was received to this query, then the
engine can be started. Interior antennas
The four interior antennas transmit an LF signal
which is identified by the passive key.
