taking into consideration the distance travelled and the fuel used since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.

Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
A/C:coolingu:air recirculationHeated rear window Ü 3 37, Heated
seats ß 3 45.
Cooling (A/C)
Operated by pressing A/C and
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is a little above the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Notice
If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the ambient temperature is high, an Autostop
may be inhibited until the required
temperature in the passenger
compartment has been reached.
If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the engine is in an Autostop, the engine may
restart automatically.
Stop-start system 3 122.Air recirculation system
Operated by pressing u.9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up. The quality
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hotair can disperse quickly.
● Cooling A/C on.
● Air recirculation system u on.
● Set air distribution control to M.
● Set temperature control to coldest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Open all air vents.

● For simultaneous warming of the
foot well, set air distribution

Notice
If V is pressed while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be inhibited
until V is pressed again.
If V is pressed while the engine is
in an Autostop, the engine will restart
automatically.

The preselected temperature is
automatically regulated. In automatic
mode, the fan speed and air
distribution automatically regulate the
air flow.
The system can be manually adapted by use of air distribution and air flow
controls.
The electronic climate control system
is only fully operational when the
engine is running.
For correct operation do not cover the
sensor on the instrument panel.
Automatic mode
Basic setting for maximum comfort: ● Press AUTO ("AUTO" appears in
the display).
● Set desired temperature (the temperature appears in the
display).
● Open all air vents.
108Climate controlDuring automatic mode, the settings
for fan speed, air distribution, air
conditioning and air recirculation are
automatically regulated by the system and are not shown on the display.
Temperature preselection
Temperatures can be set to the
desired value with the 2 buttons
below the display.
For reasons of comfort, change
temperature only in small increments.red:warmblue:cold
Heating will not be fully effective until
the engine has reached normal
operating temperature.
If the minimum temperature of 15 ℃
is set, the electronic climate control
system runs at maximum cooling.
If the maximum temperature of 27 ℃
is set, the electronic climate control
system runs at maximum heating.
Notice
If the temperature is to be reduced
for climate comfort reasons, an
Autostop can be inhibited or the
engine will restart automatically
when cooling is switched on.
Stop-start system 3 122.
Fan speed
Fan speed can be increased or
decreased with the x buttons.
The selected fan speed is indicated
with x in the display.
If the fan is switched off the air
conditioning is also deactivated.

If V is pressed while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be inhibited
until V is pressed again.
If V is pressed while the engine is
in an Autostop, the engine will restart
automatically.

Combi
Additional air conditioning is supplied
to the rear passenger compartment
via the air vents located above the
driver and front passenger
compartment.
With the front passenger
compartment air conditioning system
switched on, adjust the air flow to
select the desired speed.
Ensure the air vents are open when in use, to prevent ice forming in the
system due to lack of air movement.
Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant
heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine
running.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat, set the
air distribution to V and turn the fan
on.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units
The timer or remote control unit turns the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.
