Buttons for the rear and front window heating system: manual air
conditioning / Climatronic
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 55.
Explanation of graphic.Switch the rear window heater on/off
Switching the windscreen heater on/off
When heating is switched on, a lamp within the button lights up
The windscreen and rear window heater only operates when the engine is run-
ning.
The windscreen and rear window heater automatically switches off after approxi-
mately 10 minutes.
For the sake of the environmentThe heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free from
mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel econ-
omy » page 133 , Saving electrical energy .
Note
■
If the on-board voltage drops, the windscreen and rear window heater switches
off automatically, to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine con-
trol » page 210 , Automatic load deactivation .■
If the light is flashing inside the button, the heater is off due to low battery.
■
The position and shape of the switch may vary according to the equipment fit-
ted.

Operational problemsFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 91.
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 236 .
› 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.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Radio remote control

Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (Aux. heating and ventilation),
hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating (Aux. heating).
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon 
is not lit in the display of the
instrument cluster).
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) can be used when stationary, when the engine is switched off to preheat the vehicle and also while driving (e.g. during
the heating phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heater (parking heater) functions in connection with the air-condi-
tioning system or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) also warms up the engine.
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) warms up the coolant by combusting fuel
from the vehicle tank.
The coolant warms up the air, which (if the blower speed is not set to zero) flows into the passenger compartment.WARNING■ The auxiliary heater (independent vehicle heater) must never be operated in
closed rooms (e.g. garages) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) must not be allowed to run during re-
fuelling – risk of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located underneath the vehicle.
Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating), do
not park the vehicle in such a way that the exhaust gases can come into con-
tact with highly flammable materials (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflammable sub-
stances (e.g. spilt fuel) – risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ The running auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) consumes fuel from the vehicle
tank and automatically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is
present in the fuel tank, the auxiliary heater switches itself off.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of
the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
■
If the auxiliary heating is running, the vehicle battery discharges. If the auxiliary
heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a longer period, the
vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge the vehicle battery.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.■
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem. 

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 97.

Aerial
Warning light
Turn on auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
Turn off auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
The effective range of the radio remote control when the battery is charged is up
to 600 m. Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather
conditions and a weakening battery can reduce the range significantly.
To switch the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) on or off, hold the remote control
vertical, with the aerial
A
» Fig. 97 pointing upwards. The antenna must not be
covered with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio remotecontrol, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at
least 2 m.

CAUTION
The radio remote control comprises electronic components and must therefore be
protected against water, severe impacts and direct sunlight.
99Heating and air-conditioning

For tightening purposes, we recommend, for example, using the wheel wrench,
towing eye from another vehicle or a similar object that can be pushed through
the eye.›
Unscrew the towing eye against the direction of the arrow
3
.
CAUTION
The towing eye must always be screwed in fully and firmly tightened, otherwise
the towing eye can tear when towing in or tow-starting.
Vehicles with a tow hitch
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 228.
On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, there is no mount for the screw-
in towing eye behind the cap.
Use the built-in detachable ball rod for towing » page 152, Towing device .
Towing the vehicle using the towing device is a viable alternative solution to us-
ing the towing eye.
If the towing device is removed completely, it must be replaced with the standard
reinforcement of the rear bumper which is part of the mount for the towing eye.
If this procedure is not observed, the vehicle may not meet the national legal pro- visions.
CAUTION
The detachable ball rod and/or the vehicle can be damaged if an unsuitable tow
bar is used.
Note
The detachable ball rod must always be in the vehicle so that it can be used for
towing, if necessary.
