Climate controlVehicle features and op‐
tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.

Climate control functions in detail
Switching the system on/off
Switching on
Set any air volume.
Switching off
Turn wheel for air quantity to the
left until the control switches off.
Temperature
Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
Cooling function
The air in the car's interior will be cooled and
dehumidified and, depending on the tempera‐
ture setting, warmed again.
The car's interior can only be cooled with the
engine running.
Press button.
Air conditioning is switched on or off.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The air conditioner produces condensation wa‐
ter, refer to page 164, that will exit from below
the car.
Recirculated-air mode
You may respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:
▷LED off: outside air flows in continuously.▷LED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply
of outside air into the vehicle is perma‐
nently blocked.
To prevent window condensation, recirculated
air mode switches off automatically after a cer‐
tain amount of time, depending on the external
temperature.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the car's interior deteriorates and the
fogging of the windows increases.
If the windows fog over, switch off recirculated-
air mode and increase the air flow, if needed.
Air flow, manual
Turn the ring to set the desired
air volume.
The higher the rate, the more ef‐
fective the heating or cooling will
be.
The air flow from the air conditioner may be re‐
duced automatically to save battery power.
Manual air distribution
Turn the wheel to select the de‐
sired program or the desired in‐
termediate setting.
▷ Windows.▷ Upper body region.▷ Floor area.▷ Windows, upper body region, and floor
area.

Defrosts windows and removes
condensation
Direct the air distribution toward windows, in‐
crease the air flow and temperature, and, if
needed, use the cooling function.
Windshield defroster
Press button.
The front window defroster switches
off automatically after a certain period of time.
Rear window defroster
Press button.
The rear window defroster switches off
automatically after a certain period of time.
When GREEN Mode, refer to page 169, is acti‐
vated, the heater output is reduced.
Microfilter
In external and recirculated air mode the mi‐
crofilter filters dust and pollen from the air.
This filter should be replaced during scheduled
maintenance, refer to page 201, of your vehi‐
cle.

Switching on
Set any air volume.
Switching off
Turn wheel for air quantity to the
left until the control switches off.
Temperature
Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
The automatic climate control reaches this
temperature as quickly as possible, if needed
by increasing the cooling or heating output,
and then keeps it constant.
Do not rapidly switch between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate con‐
trol will not have sufficient time to adjust the
set temperature.
Cooling function
The air in the car's interior will be cooled and
dehumidified and, depending on the tempera‐
ture setting, warmed again.
The car's interior can only be cooled with the
engine running.
Press button.
Air conditioning is switched on or off.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water, refer to page 164, develops
that exits underneath the vehicle.
Maximum cooling
Press button.
The system is set to the lowest temper‐
ature, optimum air flow and air circulation
mode.
Air flows out of the vents to the upper body re‐
gion. The vents need to be open for this.
The function is available with external tempera‐
tures beyond approx. 32 ℉/0 ℃ and with the
engine running.
Adjust air flow with the program active.
AUTO program
Press button.
Air flow, air distribution and tempera‐
ture are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity and outside influences, the air is di‐
rected to the windshield, side windows, upper
body, and into the floor area.
The cooling function, refer to page 142, and
the automatic recirculation control, refer to
Seite 142CONTROLSClimate control142

page 143, are automatically also switched on
in the AUTO program.
To switch off the program: press the button
again or manually adjust the air distribution.
Intensity of the AUTO program
With the AUTO program activated, the auto‐
matic intensity control can be changed.
Turn the ring to set the desired
intensity from soft to intensive.
The set intensity is displayed via the position of
the illuminated LED segment.
Automatic recirculated-air control/
recirculated-air mode
You may respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:
▷LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.▷Left LED on, automatic recirculated-air con‐
trol: a sensor detects pollutants in the out‐
side air and shuts off automatically.
▷Right LED on, recirculated-air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked.
To prevent window condensation, recirculated
air mode switches off automatically after a cer‐
tain amount of time, depending on the external
temperature.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the car's interior deteriorates and the
fogging of the windows increases.
If windows are fogged over, switch off the recir‐
culating mode and press the AUTO button.
Make sure that air can flow to the windshield.
Air flow, manual
To manually adjust air flow turn off AUTO pro‐
gram first.
Turn the ring to set the desired
air volume.
The manually adjusted air flow is displayed via
illuminated LED segments.
The air flow of the automatic climate control
may be reduced automatically to save battery
power.

vated, the heater output is reduced.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
In external and recirculated air mode the mi‐
crofilter/activated charcoal filter filters dust,
pollen, and gaseous pollutants out of the air.
This filter should be replaced during scheduled
maintenance, refer to page 201, of your vehi‐
cle.
Ventilation
Setting
The air flow directions can be individually ad‐
justed:
▷Direct ventilation:
The air flow is directly pointed onto the per‐
son. The air flow heats or cools noticeably,
depending on the adjusted temperature.
▷Indirect ventilation:
If the vents are fully or partly closed, the air
is directly routed into the car's interior.
Front ventilation▷Turn knob for continuous opening and clos‐
ing of the vents.
▷Swivel the vents to alter the direction of the
vent flow, arrow.
Ventilation in the rear
▷Lever for changing the air flow direction,
arrow 1.
▷Thumbwheel for continuous opening and
closing of the vents, arrow 2.
Parked-car ventilation
The concept
The parked-car ventilation ventilates the vehi‐
cle interior and lowers its temperature, if
needed.
The system can be switched on and off at any
external temperature, either directly or by us‐
ing two preset reel-on times. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.
