Problems with the side windowsGWARNING
If you close a side window again immediately
after it has been blocked or reset, the side
window closes with increased or maximum
force. The reversing function is then not
active. Parts of the body could be trapped in
the closing area in the process. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the
closing area. To stop the closing process,
release the switch or push the switch again to
reopen the side window.
Problem: a side window cannot be closed
because it is blocked by objects, e.g.
leaves in the window guide.
XRemove the objects.XClose the side window.
Problem: a side window cannot be closed
and you cannot see the cause. If a side
window is obstructed during closing and
reopens again slightly:

Panorama sliding sunroof
Important safety notes
In the following section, the term "sliding sun-
roof" refers to the panorama sliding sunroof.
GWARNING
While opening and closing the sliding sunroof,
body parts in close proximity could become
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the opening and closing pro-
cedures.
If somebody becomes trapped:
R release the switch immediately, or
R during automatic operation, push the
switch briefly in any direction
The opening or closing procedure will be stop-
ped.
GWARNING
If children operate the sliding sunroof they
could become trapped, particularly if they are
left unsupervised. There is a risk of injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle.
GWARNING
At high speeds the raised sliding sunroof auto-
matically lowers slightly at the rear. This could
trap you or other persons. There is a risk of
injury. Make sure that nobody reaches into
the sweep of the sliding sunroof whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
If somebody becomes trapped, reduce speed
immediately, paying attention to road and
traffic conditions. The sliding sunroof opens
again to its original position.
If the sliding sunroof is not completely raised,
you can then raise it further with the switch.
! Only open the panorama sliding sunroof
if it is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.
i Resonance noises can occur in addition
to the usual airflow noises when the sliding
sunroof is open. They are caused by minor

pressure fluctuations in the vehicle interior.
Change the position of the sliding sunroof
or open a side window slightly to reduce or
eliminate these noises.
Sliding sunroof reversing feature
The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If an object blocks or
restricts the sliding sunroof during the closing
process, the sliding sunroof opens again

ture is however only an aid and is no substi-
tute for your attention when closing the slid-
ing roof.

R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 4 mm of the closing movement
R during resetting
R when closing the sliding sunroof again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversing
This means that the reversing function cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
R release the switch immediately or
R press the switch in any direction during the
automatic closing process
The closing process is stopped.

malfunction or voltage supply interruption,
then the reversing function will malfunction or
not work. The sliding sunroof closes with
increased or maximum force. Parts of the

injury or even fatal injury.
In such or similar situations always make sure
that no parts of the body are in the closing
area. Always reset the sliding sunroof after a
malfunction or voltage supply interruption.
Problem: the sunroof cannot be closed
and you cannot see the cause. If the sliding
sunroof is obstructed during closing and
reopens again slightly:
XImmediately after it blocks, pull the 3
switch down again to the point of resist-
ance until the sliding sunroof is closed
The sliding sunroof is closed with increased

els, series and optional equipment for your

Overview of climate control systems
Important safety notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly
R switch on the cooling with air dehumidifi-
cation function
R switch on the defrost windscreen function
briefly, if required
THERMATIC automatic climate control/
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control
regulates the temperature and the humidity
of the vehicle interior and filters out undesir-
able substances from the air.
THERMATIC automatic climate control/
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control is
only operational when the engine is running.
Optimum operation is only achieved with the
side windows and panorama sliding sunroof
closed.
The residual heat function can only be acti-
vated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off ( Y page 135).
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (Y page 88). This
will speed up the cooling process and the
desired vehicle interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. With THERMOTRONIC auto-
matic climate control, gaseous pollutants
and odours will also be reduced. A clogged
filter reduces the amount of air supplied to
the vehicle interior. For this reason, you
should always observe the interval for
replacing the filter, which is specified in the
Service Booklet. As it depends on environ-
mental conditions, e.g. heavy air pollution,
the interval may be shorter than stated in
the Service Booklet.
i It is possible that the residual heat func-
tion may be activated automatically an hour
after the key has been removed in order to
dry the air-conditioning system. The vehicle
is then ventilated for 30 minutes.124Overview of climate control systemsClimate control
