Heating and cooling
Air conditioner
Description
The air conditioner heats, cools and dehumidifies
the air inside the vehicle. It operates most effec
tively with the windows closed. If the vehicle has
been standing in the sun, it may cool down faster
if you open the windows briefly to let the hot air
escape.
Pollution filter
The pollution filter removes impurities, such as
dust and pollen, from the air.
Key-coded settings
Certain settings will be automatically stored and
assigned to the remote control key in use.
® For the sake of the environment
If you wish to save fuel, switch off the cooling
mode on the air conditioner by pressing the

@ Note
- Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, ice and leaves to
ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and
to prevent the windows misting over.
- Condensation can drip off the air cooling
system and form a pool underneath the ve
hicle. This is normal and does not indicate a
leak.
- If you notice, for instance, that the seat* or
rear window heating is not working, it may
have been temporarily switched off by the
power management function. These sys
tems will be available again as soon as suffi
cient electrical power is available.

pants
� Adjusting the blower speed
The rotary control (D can be used to adjust the
blower speed in small steps. You should leave

Switching rear window heating on/
off
If the rear window heating is activated with the
ignition switched on, the battery management
determines whether or not the battery charge
level is sufficient for the rear window heating to
be switched on. Otherwise the rear window heat
ing operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about
10 -20 minutes, depending on the outside tem
perature.
To switch on the rear window heating perma
nently, press and hold the !lliil REAR! button for at
least two seconds. This setting will be stored for
approximately 15 minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
A WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave the
air recirculation switched on for too long. This
mode prevents fresh air from entering the ve
hicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can
cause an accident.
