– Use the key to lock the vehicle from outside
and hold the key in the lock position for at
least one second. The one-touch function is
now ready for operation.
The buttons ››› Fig. 55 1 and
2 have two
levels for opening the window and two for
closing it. This makes it easier to open and
close windows to the desired position.
One-touch closing does not work when the
ignition has been switched off, even if the
key is in the ignition.
The automatic open and close function will
not work if the battery has been temporarily
disconnected, or if the battery is flat. The
function then has to be reactivated.
The one-touch function and roll-back function
will not work if there is a malfunction in the
electric windows. Contact a specialised work-
shop. Roll-back function The roll-back function reduces the risk of in-
jury when the electric windows close.
● If a window is obstructed when closing au-
tomatically, the window stops at this point
and lowers immediately ››› .
● If this happens, check immediately (within
10 seconds) why the window could not be
closed before attempting to close it again. Af-
ter 10 seconds the normal automatic func-
tion resumes.
● If the window is still obstructed, the win-
dow will stop at this point.
● If there is no obvious reason why the win-
dow cannot be closed, try to close it again
within 5 seconds.
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the win-
dow will open again fully when you operate
one of the buttons. One-touch closing is reac-
tivated.
The one-touch function and roll-back function
will not work if there is a malfunction in the
electric windows. Contact a specialised work-
shop. WARNING
● Incorrect use of the electric windows can
result in injury.
● Always take the ignition key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even if you only intend to be gone for a short time. Please ensure that
children are never left alone inside the vehi-
cle.
●
The electric windows will work until the key
has been removed from the ignition and one
of the front doors has been opened.
● Never close the rear lid without observing
and ensuring it is clear, to do otherwise could
cause serious injury to you and third parties.
Make sure that no one is in the path of a win-
dow.
● Never allow people to remain in the vehicle
when you close the vehicle from the outside.
The windows cannot be opened even in an
emergency. Note
The roll-back function is deactivated if the

wards to make the fitting of the mobile
storage compartment onto the mounting
plate easier.

when the engine is running and the blower is
switched on.
– Turn the temperature control knobs
››› Fig. 117 to adjust the temperature on the
l ef

air recirculation mode, if switched on, will
be switched off as soon as the defrost
function is switched on. At temperatures

Operation
A pleasant temperature is quickly reached in
automatic mode at a temperature of +22 °C
(+72 °F). Therefore, we recommend you not
to change this adjustment, except as neces-
sary to suit individual preferences or particu-
lar circumstances. It is possible to select inte-
rior temperatures from +18 °C (+64 °F) to
+26 °C (+80 °F). These are approximate tem-
peratures and the actual temperature may be
slightly higher or lower depending on out-
side ambient conditions.
Climatronic maintains a constant tempera-
ture. The temperature of the air supplied to the interior, the blower speed and the air dis-
tribution are regulated automatically. The
system also considers the sunlight radiation,
so there is no need for manual readjustment.
Therefore,
automatic mode
almo
s t always
provides the best comfort for the vehicle oc-
cupants throughout the year.
Automatic mode is switched off whenever an
adjustment is made using the buttons for the
air distribution, fan or  or the air recircula-
tion button  . The temperature will continue
to be regulated within the parameters man-
ually selected by the user. Note
There are two automatic modes:
● Automatic mode LO: this calculates the air
flow for two people.
● Automatic mode HI: this calculates the air
flow for more than two people. Manual mode

Air conditioning
In manual mode you can adjust the air tem-
perature, air flow and distribution as re-
quired.
Switching on manual mode – To enter manual mode, press one of the
buttons ››› Fig. 120 1 to
5 or press the
air flow control 10 . The selected function is
shown on the radio or navigator display.
Temperature
There are separate temperature selectors for
the left and right sides of the vehicle interior.
The selected temperature is displayed above
the selector. It is possible to select interior
temperatures from +18 °C (+64 °F) to +26 °C
(+80 °F). These are approximate tempera-
tures and the actual temperature may be
slightly higher or lower depending on the
outside ambient conditions.
If you select temperatures below +18 °C
(+64 °F), the indication: LO will appear on the
screen. In this setting the system runs at
maximum cooling output and the tempera-
ture is not regulated.
If a temperature above +26 °C (+80 °F) is se-
lected, the screen will show HI. In this setting
the system runs at maximum heating output
and the temperature is not regulated. Blower
The fan may be adjusted freely using the con-
trols
10 . Always have the blower running at a
low setting to ensure a constant flow of fresh
air into the vehicle. Pushing the button  to
the minimum -1, t urn
s the Climatronic off.
Air distribution
The air distribution is adjusted using the but-
tons  ,
 and
 . It is also possible to
open and close some of the air vents sepa-
rately.
Switching the air conditioning on and off
When the A/C button is on (LED lit), the air
conditioning system is on.
When the A/C button is off (LED off), the air
conditioning system is off.
When the A/C button is off, the air condition-
ing system is switched off to save fuel. The
temperature continues to self-regulate. The
set temperature can only be reached if it is
higher than the outside temperature.
Driver and passenger temperature control
The SYNC button controls the synchronisa-
tion of the 2 Climatronic climate zones.
When the SYNC button is off (LED off), the Cli-
matronic climate zone is personalised. For
example: driver side temperature +22 °C (+72 °F) and passenger side temperature +24
℃
(+23.89 ℃
).
When the S

YNC button is on (LED lit), the Cli-
matronic climate zone is synchronised. For
example: driver side temperature +22 °C
(+72 °F) and passenger side temperature +22
℃ (+22.22 ℃
).
If

the SYNC button is on and the passenger
side temperature is changed, the function is
automatically deactivated.
Air recirculation mode –
Press the button 
››› Fig. 120 5 to
switch air recirculation mode on or off. It is
switched on if the following symbol ap-
pears in the display .
Air recirculation mode prevents strong
odours or contaminated air from the outside
from entering in the vehicle, for example
when passing through a tunnel or in a traffic
jam.
With low outside temperatures, the air recir-
culation increases the effectiveness of the
heating system by heating the air inside the
vehicle rather than the air from outside.
With high outside temperatures, the air recir-
culation increases the effectiveness of the air
conditioning system by cooling the air inside
the vehicle rather than the ambient air. »
