Outside temperature
A drop in temperature is indicated
immediately and a rise in temperature
after a time delay.
If outside temperatures drop to 3 °C, the °C flashes in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) as a
warning for icy road conditions. This
will continue to flash until
temperatures rise above 3 °C.
9 Warning
The road surface may already be
icy even though the display
indicates a few degrees above 0
°C.
Clock
Depending on vehicle, the current
time may appear in the central
information display and/or the Driver

● Set temperature control to warmest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Set air distribution control to V.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü.

windows.
● For simultaneous warming of the
foot well, set air distribution
control to J.
Heated rear window 3 41.
Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
A/C:cooling4:air recirculation
Heated seats 3 46.
Cooling (A/C)
Press A/C to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by illumination
of the LED in the button. Cooling is
only functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is
switched on.
Press A/C again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
may inhibit an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 119.
Notice
Air conditioning performance is
reduced when ECO mode has been
activated 3 114.
Air recirculation system 4
Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. Activation is indicated by
illumination of the LED in the button.Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.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 from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and avoid the use
of air distribution settings J and V.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.
● Cooling A/C on.
● Air recirculation system 4 on.
● Set air distribution control to M.

106Climate controlIf the minimum temperature is set, the
climate control system runs at
maximum cooling.
If the maximum temperature is set, the climate control system runs at
maximum heating.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows
● Press Ê; LED illuminates in the
button when activated.
● Temperature, air distribution and cooling are regulated
automatically and the fan runs at
high speed.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü
3 41.
To return to Automatic mode: press
Ê or AUTO .
Notice
If Ê is pressed while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be inhibited until Ê is pressed again.
If Ê is pressed while the engine is in
an Autostop, the engine will restart
automatically.

Manually changing any of the
following settings will deactivate
Automatic mode:
Fan speed Z
Adjust the air flow manually by
switching the fan to the desired

If the fan is switched off, the air
conditioning is also deactivated.

AUTO button.
Cooling A/C
The air conditioning system cools and dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
Notice
Air conditioning performance is
reduced when ECO mode has been
activated 3 114.
If no cooling or drying is required
press A/C OFF to switch the cooling
system off, thus saving fuel. LED
illuminates in the button.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
AUTO button.
Air recirculation mode u
Activate or deactivate manual air recirculation mode with u. LED
illuminates in the button when
activated.

112Climate controlAir vents
Adjustable air vents At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on, in order to prevent
the evaporator from icing up due to lack of air movement.9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Centre air vents
To open or close the centre air vents
and direct the flow of air, tilt the slats
up or down and turn the adjuster
wheel left or right.
Side air vents
To open or close the side air vents, tilt the slats up or down.
Direct the flow of air by rotating the
vents.
Depending upon the position of the
temperature control, air will be
directed into the vehicle via the side
air vents.
Rear air vents
Depending on vehicle, additional
adjustable air vents are located in the
rear passenger compartment.
Fixed air vents Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows, in the foot wells and,
depending on vehicle, in the rear
passenger compartment.
Glovebox cooler
The air conditioning system can also
keep the contents of the glovebox
cool.

Climate control113Maintenance
Air intake The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter
The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
Notice
Pollen filter is only fitted to vehicles
with air conditioning system.
Air conditioning regular operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when outside
temperature is too low.Service
For optimal cooling performance, it is recommended that the climate control
system be checked annually, starting three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check

150Vehicle careWasher fluid
Fill with clean water mixed with a
suitable quantity of windscreen
washer fluid which contains
antifreeze.
Caution
Only washer fluid with a sufficient
antifreeze concentration provides
protection at low temperatures or
a sudden drop in temperature.
Use of washer fluid containing
isopropanol can damage exterior
lamps.
Brakes
A squealing noise indicates that the
brake lining is at its minimum
thickness. Continued driving is
possible but have the brake lining
replaced as soon as possible.
Once new brake linings are installed,
do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
Brake fluid9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.
The brake fluid level must be betweenthe MINI and MAXI marks.
When topping up, ensure maximum cleanliness as contamination of the
brake fluid can lead to brake system
malfunctions. Have the cause of the
loss of brake fluid remedied by a
workshop.
Only use high-performance brake
fluid approved for your vehicle.
