Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wiper
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry. If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
!Vehicles with rain/light sensor:
Switch the wipers off in dry weather. Other-
wise, dirt or optical effects may cause unde-
sired windshield wiper sweeps. This could
then damage the windshield wiper blades or
scratch the windshield.
The windshield will no longer be wiped properly
if the wiper blades are worn. Replace the wiper
blades twice a year (
Ypage 94), ideally in
spring and fall.

XTurn the key to position 1or 2in the ignition
lock.
XTurn the combination switch in the direction

XTo wipe with washer fluid: press the com-
bination switch beyond the pressure point in

midification function on/off
Important information
If you switch off the "Cooling with air dehumid-
ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled (in warm weather) or dehumidi-
fied. The windows could fog up more quickly.
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 appear on the underside of
the vehicle when in cooling mode. This is normal
and not a sign that there is a malfunction.
Switching on and off
Vehicle with air conditioning

tion, only one of the two climate control sys-
tems works in the rear compartment and in

Adjusting the air vents
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air
vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in
the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air out-
lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior.
The center and side air vents are adjustable. On vehicles with a rear-compartment air-condi-
tioning system, you can also adjust the air vents
in the roof duct.
iFor virtually draft-free ventilation, adjust the
sliders of the center air vents to the center
position.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
Rkeep the air inlet grille on the hood free of
blockages, such as ice, snow or leaves.
Rnever cover the vents or the ventilation grilles
in the vehicle interior.

Parking
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system or exhaust
gas flow. There is a risk of fire.
Park the vehicle so that no flammable mate-
rials come into contact with parts of the vehi-
cle which are hot. Take particular care not to
park on dry grassland or harvested grain
fields.
GWARNING
If you switch off the ignition while driving,
safety-relevant functions are only available
with limitations, or not at all. This could affect, for example, the power steering and the brake
boosting effect. You will require considerably
more effort to steer and brake. There is a risk
of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
GWARNING
If you leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle, they could set it in motion by, for example:
Rrelease the parking brake.
Rshift the automatic transmission out of the
parking position P.
Rstart the engine.
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.
!A moving vehicle can lead to damage to the
vehicle or damage to the drive train.
!When the vehicle is parked, always remove
the key to prevent the battery from becoming
discharged.
On vehicles with a battery isolating switch,
switch off the power supply if the vehicle is to
be out of use for a longer period of time.
