Automatic climate control The 3-zone automatic climate control is only
available on vehicles for Canada.
The following contains instructions and
recommendations to enable you to get the
most out of your automatic climate control.
R Activate climate control using the 000Dand
000C buttons. The indicato rlamps above
the 000D and000C buttons light up.
R In automatic mode, you can also use the
0011 buttontos etac limate mode

R Set th etem peratur etof72‡ (22 †).
R Only use th e"Windshield defrosting"
function briefly until th ewindshield is clear
again.
R Only use air-recirculation mod ebriefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasan toutside odor sor
when in atunnel. The windows could
otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
int ot he vehicl einair-recirculation mode.
R Use th eZON Efunction to adopt the
temperature setting sonthedriver's side
for the front-passenger side and the rear
compartment as well. The indicato rlamp
above the 0010button goes out.
R Use the residual heat function if you want
to heat or ventilate the vehicle interior
when the ignition is switched off. The
residual heat function can only be activated
or deactivated with the ignition switched
off.

Points to observe before use In automatic mode, the set temperature is
maintained automatically at aconstant level.
The system automatically regulates the
temperature of the dispensed air, the airflow
and the air distribution.
The automatic mode functions optimally
when the "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function is activated. If necessary, cooling
with air dehumidification can be deactivated.
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-
dehumidification" function, the air inside the
vehicle will not be cooled. The air inside the
vehicle will also not be dehumidified. The
windows can fog up more quickly. Therefore,
deactivate the cooling with air-
dehumidification function only briefly.

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle,
they could:
R open the doors, thus endangering other
people or road users.
R get out and disrupt traffic.
R operate the vehicle's equipment.
Additionally, children could set the vehicle in
motion if, for example, they:
R release the parking brake.

gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There
is ar isk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave
the engine running in enclosed spaces
without sufficient ventilation. G
WARNING
Flammable materials introduced through
environmental influence or by animals can
ignite if in contact with the exhaust system or
parts of the engine that heat up. There is arisk
of fire.
Carry out regular checkstom ake sure that
there are no flammable foreign materials in
the engine compartmen torinthe exhaust
