Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system becomes active
when the driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and re‐
leases the locks on the following:
▷Doors.▷Trunk lid.▷Fuel filler flap.
Operating from the outside
▷Via the remote control.▷Via the driver's door lock.▷Via the door handles.▷Via the button in the trunk lid.
The following takes place simultaneously when
locking/unlocking the vehicle via the remote
control:
▷Depending on how the vehicle is equipped,
the theft protection is activated/deactivated.
Theft protection prevents the doors from
being unlocked using the lock buttons or the
door opener.Seite 33Opening and closingControls33

Climate control functions in detail
Manual air distribution Press the button repeatedly to select a
program:▷Upper body region.▷Upper body region and footwell.▷Footwell.▷Windows and footwell: driver's side only.▷Windows, upper body region and footwell:
driver's side only.
If the windows are fogged over, press the AUTO
button on the driver's side to utilize the conden‐
sation sensor.
Temperature Turn the wheel to set the desired
temperature.
The automatic climate control achieves this
temperature as quickly as possible, if necessary
with the maximum cooling or heating capacity,
and then keeps it constant.
Avoid rapidly switching between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate control
will not have sufficient time to adjust the set
temperature.
AUTO program Press the button.
Air flow, air distribution, and tempera‐
ture are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity, and outside influences, the air is di‐
rected to the windshield, side windows, upper
body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function, refer to page 156, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO pro‐
gram.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program so as to prevent window con‐
densation as much as possible.
Intensity of the AUTO program
With the AUTO program switched on, automatic
control of the air flow and air distribution can be
adjusted.
Press the left or right side of the button:
decrease or increase the intensity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.
Air flow, manual
To be able to manually adjust the air flow, switch
off the AUTO program first.
Press the left or right side of the button:
decrease or increase air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the display of
the automatic climate control.
The air flow of the automatic climate control may
be reduced automatically to save battery power.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
Press the button.
Ice and condensation are quickly re‐
moved from the windshield and the front side
windows.
The air flow can be adjusted when the program
is active.
If the windows are fogged over, you can also
switch on the cooling function or press the
AUTO button to utilize the condensation sensor.
Maximum cooling Press the button.
The system is set to the lowest tem‐
perature, maximum air flow and recirculated-air
mode.Seite 155Climate controlControls155

Air flows out of the vents for the upper body re‐
gion. Open them for this purpose.
Air is cooled as quickly as possible:▷At an external temperature of approx.
32 ℉/0 ℃.▷When the engine is running.
The air flow can be adjusted when the program
is active.
Automatic recirculated-air control/
recirculated-air mode
You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
Press the button repeatedly to select
an operating mode:
▷LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.▷Left LED on, automatic recirculated-air con‐
trol: a sensor detects pollutants in the out‐
side air and controls the shutoff automati‐
cally.▷Right LED on, recirculated-air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked.
If the windows are fogged over, switch off the
recirculated-air mode and press the AUTO but‐
ton on the driver's side to utilize the condensa‐
tion sensor. Make sure that air can flow onto the
windshield.
Continuous recirculated-air mode
The recirculated-air mode should not be
used for an extended period of time, as the air
quality inside the vehicle deteriorates steadily. ◀
Cooling function
The passenger compartment can only be
cooled with the engine running.
Press the button.
The air is cooled and dehumidified and, depend‐
ing on the temperature setting, warmed again.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water, refer to page 176, develops
that exits underneath the vehicle.
Rear window defroster Press the button.
The rear window defroster switches off
automatically after a certain period of time.
ALL program The current settings on the driver's side
for temperature, air flow, air distribu‐
tion, and AUTO program are transferred to the
front passenger side and to the left and right
rear.
The program is switched off if the settings on
the front passenger side or in the rear are
changed.
Residual heat
The heat stored in the engine is used to heat the
interior.
Functional requirement▷Up to 20 minutes after the engine has been
switched off.▷Warm engine.▷The battery is sufficiently charged.▷External temperature below 77 ℉/25 ℃.

ture, or adjusting the rate of heating or cooling
of the passenger compartment fuel consump‐
tion can be economized.
The outputs of the seat heater and the exterior
mirror heating are also reduced.
ECO PRO potential
The percentage of potential savings that can be
achieved with the current configuration is dis‐
played.
