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 100.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun ray's are suffi-
cient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof de-
liver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be opened » Fig. 105
on page 99.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is fully closed.
Note■ We recommend that you have Climatronic cleaned by a specialist garage once
every year.■
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio or radio navigation system, the
Climatronic information is also shown on their displays. This function can be
switched off, see » operating instructions for the radio or navigation system .

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 107.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) can be switched on/off as follows.
Manually switching on using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Clima-
tronic. The warning light in the button lights up » Fig. 109;
by using the radio remote control » page 109.
Manually switching off
using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Clima-
tronic. The warning light in the button goes out » Fig. 109;
by using the radio remote control » page 109.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short period.
Automatic switching on/off
The following menu items can be selected from the Aux. heating menu item in
the information display » page 28 (depending on the vehicle equipment):
■ Day of the week - set the current day of the week;
■ Running time - Set the required running time in 5 minute increments. The run-
ning time can be 10 to 60 minutes.
■ Mode - Set the desired heating/ventilation mode;
■
Starting time 1 , Starting time 2 , Starting time 3 - for each pre-set time, the day
and the time (hour and minute) can be set for switching on the auxiliary heating
and ventilation. An empty position can be found between Sunday and Monday
when selecting the day. If this empty position is selected, the activation is per-
formed without taking into account the day.
■ Activate - Activate pre-set mode;
■ Deactivate - Deactivate pre-set mode;
■ Factory setting - Restore factory setting;
■ Back - Return to main menu
Only one programmed pre-set time can be active.
The last programmed pre-set time remains active.
After the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) automatically activates at the set time, it is necessary to pre-set a time again.
If the menu item Back is selected or no changes are made on the display for lon-
ger than 10 seconds, the set values are stored, but the pre-set time is not activa-
ted.
The system switches itself off at the end of the running time set under the menu item Running time .
Note
An indicator light on the button  » Fig. 109 is illuminated when the system is
running.
108Using the system

It is not necessary to disconnect the cables of the battery if you recharge the ve-
hicle battery using low amperages (for example from a mini-charger). Refer to the
instructions of the charger manufacturer .
A charging current of 0.1 multiple of the total vehicle battery capacity (or lower)
must be used until full charging is achieved.
It is necessary to disconnect both cables before charging the battery with high
amperages, known as “ rapid charging”.
The vent plugs of the vehicle battery should not be opened for charging.WARNING“Quick-charging” the vehicle battery is dangerous and requires a special
charger and specialist knowledge.
CAUTION
On vehicles with the START/STOP system, the pole terminal of the charger must
not be connected directly to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery, but only
to the engine earth » page 236, Jump-starting in vehicles with the START-STOP
system .
Note
We therefore recommend that vehicle batteries be rapid charged by a specialist
garage.
Replace
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 215.
When replacing a battery, the new vehicle battery must have the same capacity,
voltage, amperage and be the same size. Suitable vehicle battery types can be
purchased from a specialist garage.
We recommend having the battery replaced by a specialist garage, where the
new vehicle battery will be installed properly and the original battery will be dis-
posed of in accordance with national regulations.

Disconnecting or reconnecting
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 215.
On disconnecting and reconnecting the vehicle battery the following functions
are initially deactivated or are no longer able to operate fault-free.

ber» User manual of the radio
or » user manual of the naviga-
tion systemSetting the clock» page 13Data in the multifunction display are deleted.» page 25
Note
We recommend having the vehicle checked by a specialist garage in order to en-
sure full functionality of all electrical systems.
Automatic load deactivation
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 215.
The vehicle voltage control unit automatically prevents the battery from discharg-
ing when the battery is put under high levels of strain. This manifests itself by the
following.
› The idling speed is raised to allow the generator to deliver more electricity to
the electrical system.
› Where necessary, large convenience consumers such as seat heaters and rear
window heaters have their power limited or are shut off completely in the event of an emergency. 
