General notes It is possible to make use of the residual heat of
the engine to continue heating the stationary
vehicle for up to 30 minutesafter the engine has been switched off. The heating time depends on
the set interior temperature.
Switching on/off X
To switch on: press theÌorÁ button.
The indicator lamp in the ÌorÁ button
lights up.
i The blower will run at a low speed regardless
of the airflow setting.
i If you activate the residual heat function at

Residual heat is deactivated automatically:
R after approximately 30 minutes
R when the ignition is switched on
R if the battery voltage drops
R when the auxiliary heating is switched on Ionisation
Ionisation is used to purify and freshen the air in
the vehicle interior, which is conducive to a
pleasant climate.
The ionisation of the interior air is odourless and cannot, directly, be perceived in the vehicle inte-
rior.
You can switch ionisation on and off via the mul- timedia system (see the separate operating
instructions). 146
Operating the climate control systemClimate control

Flammable materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with:
R hot parts of the exhaust system
R the exhaust gas itself
There is a risk of fire.
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
make sure that:
R no flammable materials come into contact
with hot vehicle components
R the exhaust gas can escape from the
exhaust pipe unhindered
R the exhaust gas does not come into contact
with flammable materials.
The auxiliary heating is fitted under the front
wing on the left-hand side of the vehicle. The
emissions outlet is found behind the left front
wheel. ! Operating the auxiliary heating/ventilation
draws on the vehicle battery. After you have
heated or ventilated the vehicle a maximum of two times, drive for a longer distance.
Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly once a month for about ten minutes.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the vehicle
interior to the set temperature. This occurs with- out using the heat of the running engine. The
auxiliary heating is operated directly using the
vehicle's fuel. For this reason, the tank content
must be at least at reserve fuel level to ensure
that the auxiliary heating functions.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation
automatically adjusts to changes in tempera-
ture and weather conditions. For this reason,
the auxiliary heating could switch from ventila-
tion mode to heating mode or from heating
mode to ventilation mode.
The auxiliary heating switches off when the
engine is switched off. The auxiliary ventilation
switches off when you turn the key to position 2
(Y page 158).
The auxiliary heating switches off automatically after 50 minutes. This time limit can be altered.
To do this, visit a qualified specialist workshop.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to cool
the vehicle interior to a temperature lower than
the outside temperature. Before switching on X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 158).
X Set the desired temperature.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation can be activa-
ted even when climate control is set to manual.
Optimum comfort can be attained when the sys-
tem is set to automatic mode. Set the temper-
ature to 22 †.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation can
be switched on/off using the button on the
centre console or the remote control.
The on-board computer can be used to specify
up to three departure times, one of which may
be preselected (Y page 295).
Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on or off using the button on the
centre console General notes
The colours of the indicator lamps in button
:
mean the following:
R blue: auxiliary ventilation is switched on
R red: auxiliary heating is activated
R yellow: departure time is preselected
(Y page 295).

Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on or off using the remote control
General notes
Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls for
your vehicle. For more information, please con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
Store the remote control for the auxiliary heat-
ing so that the auxiliary heating cannot be
switched on unintentionally. In particular,
ensure that the remote control for the auxiliary
heating is kept out of the reach of children.
The remote control has a range of approximately
300 metres. This range is reduced by:
R sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control and
the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavourable
position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
If the remote control battery is low, the battery
symbol on the left of the display is shown as
empty. Replace the remote control battery and
observe the important safety notes when doing so (Y page 152).
