88Using the system

When the ignition is switched off, the seat heating and seat ventilation is also
switched off. If the engine is started again within 10 minutes, the driver's seat
heating and seat ventilation is automatically turned on again at the last set-
ting.WARNINGIf you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through
medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we rec-
ommend not to use the seat heating. There may be difficult to heal burns. If
the seat heating is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your
journey when driving long distances, so that the body can recuperate from
the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate
your specific condition.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed to avoid damage to the seats.■Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■
Do not turn on any of the seat heaters if seats are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the relevant seat heating if the seats have objects attached
to or placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc.
■
When there are additional protective covers or protective covers mounted on
each of the seats, do not turn the seat heating on.
Note
If the on-board voltage decreases, the seat heating and ventilation switches
off automatically » page 216, Automatic load deactivation .

99WARNING■ Do not place anything on the dash panel. These objects might slide or fall
down when driving (when accelerating, cornering or with an incorrect driv-
ing action) and may distract you from concentrating on the traffic – there is
the risk of an accident.■
When driving, ensure that no objects from the centre console or from oth-
er storage compartments can get into the driver's footwell. You would not
be able to brake, operate the clutch pedal or accelerate - danger of causing
an accident!
■
No objects should be placed in the storage compartments nor in the
drinks holders; the vehicle occupants could be endangered if there is sud-
den braking or the vehicle collides with something.

Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
120
Climatronic - automatic operation
121
Air distribution control
122
Air outlet vents
122
The heating and air conditioning ventilate and heat the vehicle interior. The air
conditioning system also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower is switched on.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
the cold season of the year.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling
effect » page 122 .
Health protection
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the
use of the cooling system are to be observed. ▶ The difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor air temper-
ature should not be greater than about 5 ° C.
▶ The cooling system is to be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
▶ Once a year, disinfection of the manual air conditioner or the Climatronic is to
be carried out by a specialist company.
118Using the system

WARNING■For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-
dows are free of ice, snow and misting. The blower should always be on to
prevent the windows from misting up.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.

The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met
» page 118 .
The warning light below the button
» Fig. 154 illuminates after activation,
even if not all of the conditions for the function of the cooling system have
been met. The lighting up of the indicator light in the button signals the opera-
tional readiness of the cooling system.
When the air distribution control is turned to position
the cooling system is
activated.
Note
During operation of the manual air conditioning, an increase in engine idle
speed may occur under certain circumstances in order to ensure sufficient
heating comfort.
