gine, please read the following notes for the dif
ferent temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the left-hand range of the
display, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine
loads.
Normal temperature
In normal operation the LEDs will settle some
where in the centre of the dis play once the en
gine has reached operating temperature. The
LEDs may also extend further into the right-hand
range of the display when the engine is working

at high outside temperatures. This is no
cause for concern provided the warning lamp.

the red LEDs reach the right-hand part of the dis
play and the warning lamp.
appears in the dis
play, the coolant temperature is too high
¢page 12.
CD CAUTION
- Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assistance.
� Note
Diesel engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.

Fuel gauge
The gauge @ only works when the ignition is
switched on. If there is less than 7 litres of fuel in
the tank, the LED at the bottom of the dial will
light up in red and the indicator lamp tD will ap
pear c:::>page 16. The LED at the bottom of the
dial will flash in red if the fuel level is very low.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section c:::> page 258.
CD CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys
tem. This can lead to overheating and dam
age to the catalytic converter.
Warning and indicator
lamps
Description
The warning and indicator lamps light up or flash
in the instrument cluster. Their purpose is to in
dicate functions or faults.
Some of the warning and indicator lamps may be
accompanied by a driver message and a warning
tone. The warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages on the display can be masked by fur
ther displays. To display a warning or message
again, use the controls on the multi-function
steering wheel to select the display tab for warn
ing/indicator lamps and messages c:::> page 18.
If several malfunctions have occurred, you can
use the thumbwheel to scroll through them on
the display.
Some of the warning lamps may be displayed in
different colours.

warning and indicator lamps light up briefly to

-L /? Cooling system
• Switch off engine and check coolant level
The coolant level is too low.
Switch off the engine and do not drive on. Check
the coolant level¢ page 224.
- If the coolant level is too low, add more coolant
¢ page 225. Do not drive on until the warning
lamp has gone out.
- If the coolant level is correct, the overheating
may be caused by a malfunction of the radiator
fan. Do not drive on. Obtain professional assis
tance.
• Coolant temperature: too high. Let engine
run with vehicle stationary
Let the engine cool down by running it at idling
speed for a few minutes.
A WARNING
- Never open the bonnet if you can see or hear
steam or coolant escaping from the engine
compartment; there is a risk of being scal
ded. Wait until you can no longer see or
hear escaping steam or coolant.
- The engine compartment of any motor vehi
cle is a dangerous place. Before carrying out
any work in the engine compartment,
switch off the engine and allow it to cool
down. Please observe the important safety
warnings ¢ page 220, Working on compo
nents in the engine compartment.
CD CAUTION
Do not drive on if the warning lamp. lights
up; other wise there is a risk of engine dam
age.

Air conditioner
Description
The air conditioner heats, cools and dehumidifies
the air inside the vehicle. It operates most effec
tively with the windows closed. If the vehicle has
been standing in the sun, it may cool down faster
if you open the windows briefly to let the hot air
escape.
The pollution filter removes impurities, such as
dust and pollen, from the air.
@ For the sake of the environment
If you wish to save fuel, switch off the cooling
mode on the air conditioner by pressing the
Controls for manual air conditioner
Applies to vehicles: with manual air conditioner
Fig. 64 Manual air conditioner: Controls
The rotary controls and switches are used to con
trol the functions. The LED in the corresponding
button lights up when the function is switched
on.
For a comfortable climate inside the vehicle:
- In the summer, adjust the temperature to just
a few degrees below the outside temperature
- Do not turn the blower up too high
- Do not point the air outlets directly at the occu-

!AJC! button in the rotary control @. This will
also reduce emissions.
ijJ} Note
- Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, ice and leaves to
ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and
to prevent the windows misting over.
- Condensation can drip off the air cooling
system and form a pool underneath the ve
hicle. This is normal and does not indicate a
leak.
- If you notice, for instance, that the seat* or
rear window heating is not working, it may
have been temporarily switched off by the
power management function. These sys
tems will be available again as soon as suffi
cient electrical power is available.

assigned to the remote control key in use.

The windows may mist up as a result. The air

tion is switched off, but can be switched on again
manually by pressing the� button.
The round air outlets in the dashboard can be ad
justed ¢ page 56.
To prevent the front side windows from misting
up in wet weather, it's a good idea to open the
side air outlets and point them to the side.
G;l Switching air recirculation on/off
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interior
of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
54 setting
prevents fumes etc. from entering the in
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or
in traffic queues ¢,&..
The air recirculation mode is switched off when
the control is in the defrost position�-
I@ REAR!
Switching rear window heating on/
off
If rear window heating is activated with the igni
tion switched on, the battery management deter
mines whether or not the battery charge level is
sufficient for the rear window heating to be
switched on. Otherwise the rear window heating
operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about
10 -20 minutes, depending on the outside tem
perature.
To switch on the rear window heating permanent
ly, press and hold the llllil REAR! button for at least
two seconds. This setting will be stored for ap
proximately 15 minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
_&. WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave the
air recirculation switched on for too long. This
mode prevents fresh air from entering the ve
hicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can cause
an accident.

for automatic air conditioner
Applies to vehicles: with automatic air conditioner
Fig. 65 Automatic air conditioner: Controls
The rotary controls, the buttons in the rotary con
trols and the switches are used to control the
functions. The functions can be switched on and
off by pressing the buttons. The LED in the corre
sponding button lights up when the function is
switched on.
We recommend pressing the !AUTO! button and
setting the temperature to 22 °C (72 °F). The air
conditioner is fully automatic, and will maintain
the desired temperature at a constant level. The
temperature of the air supplied to the interior,
the blower speed and the air distribution are
regulated automatically. When the heater is on,
the blower normally only switches to a higher
speed once the coolant has warmed up suff icient
ly (this does not apply to the defrost setting).
Key-coded settings: The automatic air condition
er settings are automatically stored and assigned
to the remote control key which is being used.
� Adjusting the blower speed
The rotary control (D can be used to adjust the
blower speed in small steps. You should leave the
