Heated rear window Ü 3 38.
The preselected temperature is
automatically regulated. In the
automatic mode the fan speed and air distribution automatically regulate the
air flow.
The system can be manually adapted by use of air distribution and air flow
controls.
Data is shown on the Info-Display.
Setting modifications are briefly
shown in the Info-Display,
superimposing over the currently
displayed menu.
The electronic climate control system
is only fully operational when the
engine is running.
Do not cover the sensor on the

Activation
Briefly press the m button: the current
speed is stored and maintained.
Vehicle speed can be increased by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed is resumed.
The speed is saved until the ignition
is switched off.
To resume the saved speed, briefly
press the g button at a speed above
30 km/h.
Increase speed
With cruise control active, hold down
button m or briefly press it repeatedly:
speed is increased continuously or in small increments.
When button m is released the

speed is reduced continuously or in
small increments.
When button g is released the current
speed is stored and maintained.

Parking assist
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles. It
is the driver, however, who bears full
responsibility for parking.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in each of the front
and rear bumpers.

Vehicle care191
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 225.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The tyre pressure monitoring system
continually checks the pressure of all
four wheels when vehicle speed
exceeds a certain limit.
All wheels must be equipped with
pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Otherwise, the tyre pressure will be monitored by the deflation detection
system 3 191.
Note
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Info-Display 3 116.
Vehicle messages, tyre pressure
3 111.
Control indicator w 3 99.
If a complete set of wheels without
sensors is mounted (e.g. four winter
tyres), no error message will be
displayed. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational.
Retrofitting of sensors is possible.
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved systems can be used.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.System initialisation
After a wheel change, the system
must be initialised: inflate the tyres to
the prescribed pressure, switch on
the ignition, then press and hold the
DDS button for approx. 4 seconds;
control indicator w flashes three
times.
Tyre deflation detection
system
The tyre deflation detection system
continually checks the rotation speed
of all four tyres.
