Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 26). Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R activate air-recirculation mode only briefly
R activate the "Cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion" function
R activate the windscreen demisting function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature
and air humidity in the vehicle interior. The air
filter cleans the air, thus improving the inte-
rior climate.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning. Optimum climate control is only ach-
ieved with the side windows and roof closed.
The residual heat function can only be acti-
vated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off (Y page 147).
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (Y page 100).
This will speed up the cooling process and
the desired interior temperature will be
reached more quickly. i
The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pol-
lutants and odours. A clogged filter reduces the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason, you should alwaysobserve the interval for replacing the filter,
which is specified in the Service Booklet. As this depends on environmental conditions,
e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval may be shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i It is possible that the blower may be acti-
vated automatically 60 minutes after the
key has been removed depending on vari-
ous factors, e.g. the outside temperature.
The vehicle is then ventilated for
30 minutes to dry the automatic climate
control. 138
Overview of climate control systemsClimate control

X Set the air distribution using COMAND
Online (see the separate operating instruc-
tions).
The indicator lamp in rocker switch Ã
goes out.
In automatic mode, if you adjust the airflow or
air distribution manually, the indicator lamp
on the Ãrocker switch goes out. The func-
tion which has not been changed manually,
however, continues to be controlled automat- ically. When the manually set function
switches back to automatic mode, the indi-
cator lamp on the Ãrocker switch lights
up again. Setting the climate mode
In automatic mode you can select the follow-
ing airflow settings for the driver's and front- passenger areas:
FOCUS high airflow, slightly cooler setting
MEDIUM medium airflow, standard setting
DIFFUSE low airflow, slightly warmer and draught-free setting
X To set: set the climate mode using
COMAND Online (see the separate operat- ing instructions). Setting the temperature
General notes You can set the temperature separately for
the following areas:
R front footwells, left and right
R driver and front passenger area
Setting the temperature X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock (Y page 161).
X To increase or reduce: press thew

Climate control can be set centrally using the synchronisation function. The settings for
temperature, air distribution and airflow on
the driver's side are adopted for the front-
passenger side.
X To activate/deactivate: activate or deac-
tivate the synchronisation function using
COMAND Online (see the separate operat- ing instructions).
The synchronisation function switches off, if
