WARNING■Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. Heavy objects were not secured sufficiently – risk of injury!■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – risk of accident!
■
An unfixed or improperly fixed load can slip during a sudden manoeuvre
or an accident - danger of injury!
■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
■
When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passen-
gers transported on the other rear seats .
CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.■
Make sure that the heating elements of the rear window heater, the ele-
ments of the integrated aerial in the rear window or in the rear side windows
are not damaged by abrasive items.
■

WARNING■The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there could be an accident.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Note
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.

After switching off the ignition, the engine residual heat is used for heat re-
tention in the vehicle interior. The function can only be switched on with the
ignition off within 30 minutes after stopping the engine. The residual heat
function turns off after about 30 minutes, or when the battery has a low
charge state.
CAUTION
Do not cover the interior temperature sensor H » Fig. 146 - the function of the
Climatronic could be affected.

Air distribution controlRead and observe
on page 110 first.
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the In-terior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.

button. The warning light below the button lights
up.

To switch off , press the
button again. The warning light below the button
goes out.
Heating and manual air conditioning system
If the air distribution control is set to position when the recirculation modes
is switched on, the recirculated-air mode is switched off. By pressing the
button, the air recirculation also in this position can be switched on again.
When the cooling system (button ) is switched on and the temperature reg-
ulator is “turned” to the left, the recirculated-air mode is switched on.
Climatronic
The Climatronic can have a sensor that measures the air recirculation mode and automatically turns on if there is an increased concentration of pollutants
in the incoming air.
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recircula-
ted air mode is automatically switched off.
Automatically switch on / off the air recirculation function can be set in the In-
fotainment screen. by pressing the button on the Climatronic and by sub-
sequently pressing the function surfaces

Automatic air recirculation
. Auto-
matic power on / off function at a temperature above 2 ° C.
A shut-off of the air recirculation function is carried out by pressing the
button, possibly depending on the moisture conditions in the vehicle interior.
WARNINGThe air recirculation cannot be switched on for a longer period of time be-
cause there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may result
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as the windows mist up, turn the air
recirculation mode off immediately - there is a risk of accident!CAUTIONWe recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
