The vehicle must be locked and unlocked with the same key to save the seat and exterior mirror position
to the key.
80Using the system
If a temperature lower than +18 °C is selected, a blue symbol lights up at the
start of the numerical scale.
If a temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, the
symbol lights up at the
start of the numerical scale.
At both end positions, Climatronic runs at maximum cooling/heating output
and the temperature is automatically not regulated.
Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adap-
ted to suit your particular needs.
If the blower speed is reduced to a minimum, Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the symbol button when the re-
spective number of indicator lights come on.
Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to demist the windows in the interior of the car.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button lights up, the Cli-
matronic operates in “HIGH”-mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of
the Climatronic.
Upon pressing the button again, the Climatronic switches to “LOW”-mode
and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses on-
ly in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air
conditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button again, it is changed to “HIGH”-mode.
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air dis- tribution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is
nevertheless regulated.WARNING■ Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.■Switch on the Climatronic system as soon as the windows mist up.Note■ Do not stick anything onto or cover the interior temperature sensorB » Fig. 113 as this could impair the functioning of the Climatronic.■
If the windscreen mists up, press the symbol button
. Press the button
once the windscreen has demisted.
■
During operation of the Climatronic, an increase in engine idle speed can oc-
cur under certain circumstances in order to ensure adequate heating comfort.
■
For vehicles with factory-fitted radio the Climatronic information also ap-
pears on its display. This function can be switched off, see » Radio manual .
Efficient handling of the cooling system
Read and observe
and on page 104 first.
The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when incooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the
interior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order
to allow the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.
For the sake of the environment
Pollutant emissions are also lower when fuel is being saved » page 140.
malfunctions
Read and observe
and on page 104 first.
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 214 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because
the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 31.
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.
109Heating and air conditioning
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on and off directly
111
System settings
111
Radio remote control
111
Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and venti-
lation), hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary 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 can be used when both when stationary, when the en-
gine is switched off, to preheat the vehicle and also while driving (e.g. during
the heating phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heater functions in connection with the air-conditioning system
or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating also warms up the engine.
The auxiliary heating warms up the coolant by combusting fuel from the vehi-
cle tank. This heats the air flowing into the passenger compartment (if the
blower is turned on).
The heater is switched on or off automatically depending on the ambient con-
ditions to give the best possible conditions for the engine running and the in-
terior heating.
For vehicles with gasoline engines, the automatic switching on and off of the
heater can be disabled in a specialist workshop.
WARNING■ The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-
es) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk
of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. If you want to use the heater, do not switch off the car in pla-
ces where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. -. risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ The running auxiliary heater consumes fuel from the vehicle tank and auto-
matically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the
fuel tank, the auxiliary heating switches 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 auxili-
ary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a longer peri-
od, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge the vehi-
cle battery.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
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 operat-
ing problem.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the aux-
iliary heating, you must maintain the comfort temperature normally selected
by you, leave the fan switched on and leave the air outlet vents in an open po-
sition. It is recommended to put the air flow in the position
or
.

button
» Fig. 114 on the operating part of the air-conditioning system , on the
operating part of the Climatronic system or via the radio remote con-
trol » page 111 .
If the auxiliary heating has not already been switched off, it switches off auto-
matically after the running time set in the Running time menu.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump still runs for a short
period.
System settings
Read and observe
and on page 110 first.
The following menu items can be selected from the Aux. heating menu item in
the MAXI DOT display (depending on the vehicle equipment). ■ Day of the wk. - set the current day of the week
■ Running time - Set the required running time in 5 minute increments. The
running 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. 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 settings - Restore factory settings
■ 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 activates at the set time, it is necessary to pre-set a
time again.
If the pre-set menu is closed by selecting the Back menu item or if no changes
are made on the display for more than 10 seconds, the set values are stored,
but the pre-set time is not activated.
An indicator light on the button is illuminated when the system is running.
The running system deactivates after expiration of the operating period or can
be deactivated earlier by pressing the button to directly switch on/off the aux-
iliary heating or by using the radio remote control.
