Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly
R switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function
R switch on the windscreen demisting function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
air humidity in the vehicle interior. The interior
filter cleans the air, thus improving the interior
climate.
The cooling with air dehumidification function is
only available when the engine is running. Opti- mum climate control is only achieved with the
side windows closed.
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience opening feature (Y
page 75). This will speed
up the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior temperature will be reached more
quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most parti-
cles of dust and soot and completely filters
out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pollutants and odours. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior.
For this reason, you should always observe
the interval for replacing the filter, which is
specified in the Service Booklet. As this
depends on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i It is possible that the blower may be activa-
ted automatically 60 minutes after the engine
has been switched off depending on various
factors, e.g. the outside temperature. The
vehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to dry the automatic climate control. Control panel for THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control (2-zone)

THERMOTRONIC automatic climate
control
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate
control The following contains instructions and recom-
mendations to enable you to get the most out of
your THERMOTRONIC automatic climate con-
trol:
R Activate climate control using the Ã
rocker switch. The indicator lamp above the
à rocker switch lights up. The "Cooling
with air dehumidification" function is not acti- vated automatically in automatic mode. Acti-
vate this function as necessary (Y page 96).
R Set the temperature to 22 †.
R Use the windscreen demisting function only
briefly until the windscreen is clear again.
R Use the "Air-recirculation mode" function only
briefly, e.g. if there are unpleasant outside
odours or when in a tunnel. The windows
could otherwise mist up as no fresh air is
drawn into the vehicle in air-recirculation
mode.
ECO start/stop function During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control operates only at a reduced capacity. If
you require the full climate control output, you
can switch off the ECO start/stop function by
pressing the ECO button (Y page 106).Operating the climate control system
Switching climate control on/off
General notes When climate control is switched off, the air
supply and air circulation are also switched off. The windows could mist up. Therefore, only
switch off climate control briefly.
Switch on climate control primarily using the
Ã
rocker switch (Y page 97).
Switching on/off X
Select key position 2with the Start/Stop but-
ton (Y page 103).
X To switch on: set the airflow to level 1 or
higher using the Hrocker switch.
X To switch off: set the airflow to level 0 using
the H rocker switch. Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
General notes If you deactivate the "Cooling with air dehumid-
ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will also
not be dehumidified. The windows can mist up
more quickly. Therefore, deactivate the "Cooling
with air dehumidification" function only briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function
is only available when the engine is running. The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehumidified
according to the temperature selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.
Activating/deactivating X
Press the ¿rocker switch up or down.

flashes three times or
remains off. The cooling
with air dehumidification
function cannot be acti-
vated via the multimedia system any longer
(Y page 209). The cooling with air dehumidification function has been deactivated
due to a malfunction.
X Consult a qualified specialist workshop. Setting climate control to automatic
mode
General notes In automatic mode, the set temperature is main-
tained automatically at a constant level. The
system automatically regulates the temperature of the dispensed air, the airflow and the air dis- tribution.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function
is activated automatically in automatic mode.

however, continues to be controlled automati-
cally. When the manually set function switches
back to automatic mode, the indicator lamp

Rear window heating
General notes The rear window heating has a high current
draw. You should therefore switch it off as soon
as the window is clear. It otherwise switches off automatically after several minutes.
If the battery voltage is too low, the rear window
heating may switch off. Switching on/off X

Problems with the rear window heating Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
M MSolutions The rear window heating
has switched off prema-
turely or cannot be acti-
vated. The battery has not been sufficiently charged.
X Switch off any consumers that are not required, e.g. reading lamps,
interior lighting or the seat heating.
When the battery is sufficiently charged, the rear window heating
can be activated again. Activating/deactivating air-recircula-
tion mode
General notes You can also temporarily deactivate the flow of
fresh air manually if unpleasant odours are
entering the vehicle from outside. The air
already inside the vehicle will then be recircula-
ted.
If you activate air-recirculation mode, the win-
dows can mist up more quickly, in particular at
low temperatures. Only use air-recirculation
mode briefly to prevent the windows misting up.
