Automatic dimming*Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the rearview mirror. The controlfor manual dimming is not available on mir-rors with automatic dimming. The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one forward facing and one rearward facing -that work together to identify and eliminatedazzling light. The forward facing sensordetects ambient light, while the rearward fac-ing sensor detects the light from vehicleheadlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors orobjects in the seats or in the cargo area insuch a way that light is prevented fromreaching the sensors, then the dimmingfunction of the interior rearview and doormirrors is reduced.
The compass (p. 97) can only be specified for a rearview mirror with automatic dimming.

Compass*
The rearview mirror contains an integrated display that shows the compass direction inwhich the front of the car is pointing.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that showsthe compass direction in which the front ofthe car is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with English abbreviations:
N(north), NE (north east), E (east), SE (south
east), S (south), SW (south west), W (west)
and NW (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when the car is started or when key position II is
active, see Key positions - functions at differ-ent levels (p. 70). To deactivate/activate thecompass - press in the button on the under- side of the mirror using a paper clip for exam-ple.
CalibrationThe compass may need calibrating to showthe correct compass direction. The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass should be calibrated if the caris moved across several magnetic zones. Proceed as follows to perform calibration:
1. Stop the car in a large open area free
from steel structures and high-voltage power lines.
2. Start the car and switch off all electrical equipment (air conditioning, wipers, etc.)and ensure that all doors are closed.
NOTE
Calibration may fail or not start at all if electrical equipment is not switched off.
3. Hold the button on the underside of therearview mirror depressed approx. 3 seconds. The number of thecurrent magnetic zone is shown.

General information on climate control
The car is equipped with electronic climate
control (p. 121). The climate control systemcools or heats as well as dehumidifies the airin the passenger compartment.
NOTE
Air conditioning (AC) (p. 124) can be switched off, but to ensure the best possi-ble climate comfort in the passenger com-partment, and to prevent the windowsfrom misting, it should always be switchedon.
To bear in mind
• To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows and sunroof*should be closed.
• Total airing function (p. 166) opens/closes all side windows simultaneouslyand can be used for example to quicklyair the car during hot weather.
• Remove ice and snow from the climatecontrol system air intake (the grillebetween the bonnet and the windscreen).
• In warm weather, condensation from theair conditioning may drip under the car.This is normal.
• When the engine requires full power, e.g.for full acceleration or driving uphill with atrailer, the air conditioning can be tempo-rarily switched off. There may then be a temporary increase in temperature in thepassenger compartment.
• Remove misting on the insides of the win-dows primarily by using the defrosterfunction (p. 125). To reduce the risk ofmisting, keep the windows clean and usewindow cleaner.
Cars with Start/Stop*With an auto-stopped (p. 279) engine certain equipment may have its function temporarilyreduced, e.g. climate control fan speed (p.123).
Cars with ECO*Certain equipment may have its function tem-porarily reduced or deactivated when theECO (p. 288) function is activated, e.g. the airconditioning (p. 124).
NOTE
When the ECO function is activated, sev- eral parameters in the climate control sys-tem's settings are changed, and severalelectricity consumer functions are reduced- a press of the
AC button resets the cli-
mate control system, but then withreduced AC function.

Electronic climate control - ECC
ECC (Electronic Climate Control) maintains the temperature selected in the passengercompartment and can be set separately forthe driver's side and passenger side.
The auto function is used to automaticallycontrol temperature, air conditioning, fanspeed, recirculation and air distribution.

WARNING
Heated seats must not be used by people who find it difficult to perceive an increasein temperature due to a lack of sensationor who otherwise have problems operatingthe controls for the heated seats. Other-wise they may suffer burn injuries.

Fan
The fan should always be activated in order to avoid misting on the windows.
NOTE
If the fan is fully switched off then the air conditioning is not engaged - which cancause a risk of misting on the windows.
Fan knobTurn the knob to increase or decrease fan speed. If
AUTO
is selected, then the fanspeed is regulated automati-cally (p. 123) - the fan speedpreviously set is disengaged.

Auto-regulation
The auto function automatically regulates temperature (p. 124), air conditioning (p.124), fan speed (p. 123), recirculation (p. 126)and air distribution (p. 119).
If you select one or moremanual functions, the otherfunctions continue to becontrolled automatically. Allmanual settings are disen-gaged when AUTO is
pressed. The display screen
shows
AUTO CLIMATE.
Fan speed in automatic mode can be set in the menu system MY CAR. For a description
of the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103).

Temperature control in the passenger compartment
When the car is started, the most recent tem- perature setting is resumed.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher or lower temperaturethan the actual desired temperature.
Current temperature for each side is shown in the centre console's display screen.The temperature can be adjusted with the knob -separately for the driver'sside and the passenger side.

Air conditioning
The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies incoming air as required.
When the lamp in the AC
button illuminates, the airconditioning is controlled bythe system's automatic func-tion. When the lamp in the AC
button is switched off the air conditioning is disconnected. Other functions are still con-trolled automatically. When the max.defroster function (p. 125) is activated, the airconditioning is switched on automatically sothat the air is dehumidified at the maximumsetting.

Demisting and defrosting the windscreen
Heated windscreen* and max. defroster are used to quickly remove misting and ice fromthe windscreen and side windows.
The selected setting is shown in the centre con- sole's screen.
Electric heating*
Max. defroster
The light in the defroster but- ton illuminates when thefunction is active. Press the button repeatedly in order to activate the func-tion.
For cars without heated windscreen:• Air flows to the windows - symbol (2) illu- minates in the screen.
• Switch off the function - no symbol illumi-nates.
For cars with heated windscreen:
• Start the heating for the windscreen 2
-
symbol (1) illuminates in the screen.
• Start the heating for the windscreen 2
and
air flow to the windows - symbols (1) and(2) illuminate in the screen.
• Switch off the function - no symbol illumi-nates.
NOTE
Heated windscreen and IR window (p. 17) may have an impact on the performance oftransponders and other communicationequipment.
NOTE
A triangular area at the end of each side of the windscreen is not electrically heated,where de-icing may take longer.
NOTE
Electrically heated windscreen is not avail- able when the engine is auto-stopped (p.279).
The following also takes place in order to pro- vide maximum dehumidification in the pas-senger compartment:
• the air conditioning is automatically engaged
• recirculation and the air quality systemare automatically disengaged.
NOTE
The noise level increases as the fan is operating at max.
When the defroster is switched off the climate control returns to the previous settings.

Air distribution - table
Three buttons are used to select the distribu- tion (p. 119) of the air.
Air distributionUse
Air to windows. Some air flows from the air vents. The air is not recirculated. Air conditioning is always engaged.to remove ice and misting quickly.
Air to windscreen, via defroster vent, and side windows. Some air flows from the air vents.to prevent misting and icing in a cold and humid climate, (not at too low fan speed to enable this).
Airflow to the windows and from the dashboard air vents.to ensure good comfort in warm, dry weather.
Airflow to the head and chest from dashboard air vents.to ensure efficient cooling in warm weather.
