Outside Air
Keep the air intakes in front of thewindscreen free from obstruction (snow,leaves etc.) to allow the climate controlsystem to function effectively.
Recirculated Air
WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to mist up. If thewindows mist up, follow the settingsfor demisting the windscreen.
The air currently in the passenger'scompartment will be recirculated. Outsideair will not enter your vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.
Air Conditioning
Note:The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).
Note:If you use the air conditioning, thefuel consumption of your vehicle will behigher.
Air is directed through the evaporatorwhere it is cooled. Humidity is extractedfrom the air to help keep the windows freeof mist. The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of your vehicle andit is therefore normal if you see a smallpool of water under your vehicle.
General Information on Controllingthe Interior Climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the Interior
Direct the air toward your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some ofthe air toward the windscreen and the doorwindows.
Cooling the Interior
Direct the air toward your face.

You can set the temperature between 61°F(16°C) and 82°F (28°C) in steps of 1°F(0.5°C). In position low, the system willswitch to permanent cooling. In positionhigh, the system will switch to permanentheating.
Note:If you select either position low orhigh, the system will not regulate a stabletemperature.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to fog up.
Note:A small amount of air may be feltfrom the footwell air vents regardless of theair distribution setting.
Note:To reduce humidity build-up insideyour vehicle, do not drive with the systemswitched off or with recirculated air alwaysswitched on.
Note:Do not place objects under the frontseats as this may interfere with the airflowto the rear seats.
Note:Remove any snow, ice or leaves fromthe air intake area at the base of thewindscreen.
Manual Climate Control
Note:To reduce fogging of the windscreenduring humid weather, adjust the airdistribution control to the windscreen airvents position. Increase the temperatureand fan speed to improve clearing, ifrequired.
Automatic Climate Control
Note:Do not adjust the settings when yourvehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. Thesystem automatically adjusts to thepreviously stored settings. For the systemto function efficiently, the instrument paneland side air vents should be fully open.
Note:At low ambient temperatures withAUTO selected, the air stream is directedtoward the windscreen and side windowsfor as long as the engine remains cold.
Note:When the system is switched off,outside air is prevented from entering yourvehicle.
Note:When the system is in AUTO modeand the interior and exterior temperaturesare high, the system automatically selectsrecirculated air to maximize cooling of theinterior. When the selected air temperatureis reached, the system automatically selectsoutside air.
Note:When you select windscreendefrosting and defogging, the instrumentpanel and footwell level functionsautomatically switch off and air conditioningswitches on. Outside air flows into yourvehicle.

5.Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to removeit.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:The amount of usable fuel in theempty reserve varies and should not berelied upon to increase driving range. Whenrefuelling your vehicle after the fuel gaugeindicates empty, you might not be able torefuel the full amount of the advertisedcapacity of the fuel tank due to the emptyreserve still present in the tank.
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures arederived from laboratory tests according toRegulation (EC) 715/2007 and subsequentamendments are carried out by all vehiclemanufacturers.
They are intended as a comparisonbetween makes and models of vehicles.They are not intended to represent the realworld fuel consumption you may get fromyour vehicle. Real world fuel consumptionis governed by many factors including:driving style, high speed driving, stop-startdriving, air conditioning usage, theaccessories fitted, payload, towing, etc.
The advertised capacity is the indicatedcapacity and the empty reserve combined.Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in a full tank and a tankwhen the fuel gauge indicates empty.Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in thetank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fueltank:
•Switch the ignition off before fuelling.An inaccurate reading results if youleave the engine running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than two automaticshut-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1000 miles (1600 km) of driving (thisis your engine’s running-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2000 - 3000 miles (3200 - 4800 km).Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups orfuel gauge readings are not accurate waysto measure fuel economy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the tank, record theamount of fuel added.

WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to drive with duecare and attention.
If your vehicles has a trailer towmodule not approved by us, thesystem may not correctly detectobstacles.
The sensors may not detect objectsin heavy rain or other conditions thatcause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objectswith surfaces that absorb ultrasonicwaves.
The system does not detectobstacles moving away from yourvehicle. They will only be detectedshortly after they start to move towardyour vehicle.
Take particular care when reversingwith a tow ball arm or rear fittedaccessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, asthe rear parking aid will only indicate thedistance from the bumper to the obstacle.
If you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray thesensors briefly from a distance notless than 8 inches (20 centimetres).
Note:If your vehicle has a tow ball arm, thesystem is switched off automatically whenany trailer lamps (or lighting boards) areconnected to the 13-pin socket via a trailertow module we have approved.
Note:Keep the sensors free from dirt, iceand snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note:The system may emit false tones ifit detects a signal using the same frequencyas the sensors or if your vehicle is fully laden.
Note:The outer sensors may detect theside walls of a garage. If the distancebetween the outer sensor and the side wallremains constant for three seconds, thetone will switch off. As you continue, theinner sensors will detect rearward objects.
PARKING AID
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, readand understand the limitations of thesystem as contained in this section.Sensing is only an aid for some (generallylarge and fixed) objects when moving inreverse on a flat surface at parking speeds.Traffic control systems, inclementweather, air brakes and external motorsand fans may also affect the function ofthe sensing system. This may includereduced performance or a false activation.
To help avoid personal injury, alwaysuse caution when moving in reverseand when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed toprevent contact with small or movingobjects. The system is designed toprovide a warning to assist the driver indetecting large stationary objects to avoiddamaging the vehicle. The system may notdetect smaller objects, particularly thoseclose to the ground.
Certain add-on devices such as largetrailer hitches, bike or surfboard racksand any device that may block thenormal detection zone of the system, maycreate false audible warnings.
Note:Keep the sensors located on thebumper or fascia free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. If the sensorsare covered, the system’s accuracy can beaffected. Do not clean the sensors withsharp objects.
