Using the air conditioning system economically
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 77.
The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the inte-rior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order to al-
low the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be switched on if the windows are open.
For the sake of the environment
Pollutant emissions are also lower when fuel is being saved » page 104.
Operational problems
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 77.
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C,
there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.
› One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 191 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 11.
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.

We recommend that you leave the air outlet vents 3 » Fig. 80 on page 77 in the
open position in all operating modes.
Note
If the air distribution is set only to the windows, the entire volume of air is used
to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell. This can limit
the heating comfort.
Recirculated air mode
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 78.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle getting into
the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a
traffic jam.

WARNINGNever leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale air”
can cause fatigue of the driver and the passengers, reduce attention levels
and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increa-
ses. Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.

Setting the air conditioning system
82
Recirculated air mode
82
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 81.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approximately +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to en-
sure that the engine cools down.
CAUTION
■ Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.■
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist
garage once every year.80Operation

The Climatronic in automatic mode ensures the best-possible setting of the tem-
perature of the outflowing air, the blower stage and air distribution.
The system also takes sunlight into account, which eliminates the need to alterthe settings manually.
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 83.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approximately +2 °C.
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to en- sure that the engine cools down.
Note
We recommend that you have Climatronic cleaned by a specialist garage once ev-
ery year.Control elementsFig. 83
