Information abou
tusing
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate
control
The following contains instructions and rec-
ommendations to enable you to get the most
out of your THERMOTRONIC automatic cli-
mate control.
R Activate climate control using the Ãand
¿ buttons. The indicato rlamps above
the à and¿ buttons light up.
R In automatic mode, you can also use the
ñ button to set a climate mode
(FOCUS/MEDIUM/DIFFUSE). The
MEDIUM level is recommended.
R Set the temperature to 22 †.
R Only use the demisting function briefly until
the windscree nis clear again.
R Only use the air-recirculation mode briefly,
e.g. if there are unpleasant outside odours
or when in a tunnel. The windows could
otherwise mist up as no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
R Use the ZONE function to adopt the tem-
perature settings on the driver's side for
the front-passenger side and the rear com-
partment as well.T he indicator lamp above
the á button goes out.
R Use the residual heat function if you want
to heat or ventilate the vehicle interior
when the ignition is switched off. The resid-
ual heat function can only be activated or
deactivated with the ignition switched off. Operating the climate control system
Switching climate control on/off
Points to observe before use i
If climate control is switched off, the air
supply and air circulation are also switched
off. Only use this setting for a brief period.
The windows could otherwise mist up.
i Switch on climate control primarily using
the à button (Y page 134). Switching on/off X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X To switch on: press theÃbutton on
the climate control operating panel.
The indicator lamp in the Ãbutton lights
up. Airflow and air distribution are set to
automatic mode.
or
X Press the ^button.
The indicator lamp in the ^button goes
out. The previous settings are reactivated.
X To switch off: press the^button.
The indicator lamp in the ^button lights
up. Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
Points to observe before use G
WARNING
If the "cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is deactivated, the air inside the vehicle
will not be cooled (during warm weather) or
dehumidified. The windows could mist up
more quickly. This may prevent you from
observing the traffic conditions, thereby caus-
ing an accident.
The cooling with air dehumidification function
is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selec-
ted.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This
is normal and not a sign that there is a mal-
function.
i The cooling with air dehumidification
function uses refrigerant R134a. This
refrigerant does not contain chlorofluoro-
carbons, and therefore does not damage
the ozone layer. Operating the climate control system
133Climate control Z

Switching on/off
X
To activate: press the¿button.
The indicator lamp in the ¿button lights
up.
X To deactivate: press the¿button.
The indicator lamp in the ¿button goes
out. The cooling with air dehumidification
function has a delayed switch-of ffeature.
Problems with the cooling with air
dehumidification function When you press the
¿button, the indica-
tor lamp in the button flashes three times or
remains off. You can no longer switch on the
cooling with air dehumidification function.
X Visit a qualified specialist workshop. Setting climate control to automatic
mode
In automatic mode, the set temperature is
maintained automatically at a constan tlevel.
The system automatically regulates the tem-
perature of the dispensed air, the airflow and
the air distribution.
Automatic mode will achieve optimal opera-
tion if cooling with air dehumidification is also
activated. If desired, cooling with air dehu-
midification can be deactivated.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Set the desired temperature.
X To activate: press theÃbutton.
The indicator lamp in the Ãbutton lights
up. Automatic air distribution and airflow
are activated.
i THERMOTRONIC automatic climate con-
trol: when automatic mode is activated, you
can select a climate mode (Y page 134).X
To select manually: press the_but-
ton.
or
X Press the IorK button.
The indicator lamp in the Ãbutton goes
out. Setting the climate mode
In automatic mode you can select the follow-
ing climate modes:
FOCUS high airflow that is set slightly cooler
MEDIUM medium airflow, standard setting
DIFFUSEl ow airflow that is set slightly
warmer and with less of adraught
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.

Operating the climate control systemClimate control

Example: roundabout
The current speed is maintained:
R
approximately ten seconds before the
roundabout/T-junction and for approx-
imately 1.5seconds when driving on the
roundabout
R approximately twelve seconds before
reaching a motorway exi tand approx-
imately fou rseconds after the motorway

PLUS is activated.
DISTRONIC PLUS must also never be oper-
ated, activated or deactivated by a passenger
or from outside the vehicle.
DISTRONIC PLUS does not replace the park-
ing brake and must not be used for parking.
The DISTRONIC PLUS braking effect is can-
celled and the vehicle can start moving if:
R DISTRONIC PLUS is deactivated using the
cruise control lever.
R you accelerate.
R there is a malfunction in the system or an
interruption in the power supply, e.g. bat-
tery failure.
R the electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses are tam-
pered with.
R the battery is disconnected. If you wish to leave the vehicle or park it,
deactivate DISTRONIC PLUS and secure the
vehicle against rolling away.
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle
in fron tis stopping, it brakes your vehicle until
it is stationary.
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress the
brake.
i Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle
in front.T he specified minimum distance is
set using the control on the cruise control
lever.
When DISTRONIC PLUS is activated, the
transmission is shifted automatically to posi-
tion Pif:
R the driver's door is open and the driver's
seat belt is unfastened.
