Setting temperature
The temperature can be set on the Climatronic control unit or in Infotain-
ment » page 112 . In the range between 16 ° C to 29.5 ° C, an automatic temper-
ature control takes place.
At a temperature setting below 16 ° C,  lights up in the temperature display,
the Climatronic functions with maximum cooling performance .
At a temperature setting over 29.5 ° C,  lights up in the temperature display,
the Climatronic functions with maximum heating output.
Residual heat function 
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.
Note
■ In order to ensure adequate thermal comfort, there may be an increase in en-
gine idle speed during operation of the Climatronic in some circumstances.■

Replace the battery » page 301.
CAUTION
■
The remote control must be protected against moisture, severe shocks and
direct sunlight - Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the remote control.■
The range of the remote control with a charged battery is a few hundred me-
tres (depending on obstructions between the remote control and the vehicle,
weather conditions, the battery condition etc.).
116Operation

CAUTIONEnsure that battery acid does not come into contact with the bodywork – risk
of damage to the paintwork.
Note
■ We recommend having all work on the vehicle battery carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.■
You should replace batteries older than 5 years.
Check condition
Fig. 335
Vehicle battery: Open the cover / acid level indicator
Read and observe
and on page 283 first.
The battery condition is checked regularly by a specialist garage as part of the
inspection service.
Check the acid level
For car batteries with acid level indicator, use the colouration of the display to
check the acid level. In vehicle batteries with the designation “AGM” there is
no acid level examination.
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle battery may be provided with a cov-
er, this can be opened in the direction of arrow » Fig. 335 -
 .
Air bubbles can influence the colour of the indicator. Therefore, carefully knock
on the display » Fig. 335 -
 .
Black colour - electrolyte level is correct.
Colourless or light yellow colour - electrolyte level too low, the battery must be
replaced.
Battery discharge
Frequent short journeys will not sufficiently recharge the car battery.
The battery capacity decreases at low temperatures.
If the vehicle is not used for longer than 3 to 4 weeks, then disconnect the
negative terminal 
or charge the battery constantly with a very low charging
current.
Charging
Read and observe
and on page 283 first.
Only charge the vehicle battery when the ignition and all consumers are
switched off.
Refer to the instructions of the charger manufacturer.
Charging
›
For vehicles with START-STOP system or auxiliary heating, connect the

terminal of the charger on the  pole of the battery, the
 terminal of the
charger to the earth point of the engine » page 298.
›
For vehicles without START-STOP system or auxiliary heating, connect the
terminals of the charger to the corresponding battery poles (  at
.
 at
).
›
Plug the mains cable of the charger into the power socket and switch on the
device.
›
After charging has been successful: Switch off the charger and remove the
mains cable from the power socket.
›
Disconnect the terminals of the charger from the vehicle battery.
A charging current of 0.1 multiple of the total vehicle battery capacity (or low-
er) must be used until full charging is achieved.
WARNING■ When charging the vehicle battery, hydrogen is released - risk of explo-
sion. An explosion can be caused from sparks or connection or releasing
the cable plug while the ignition is on.■
The so-called “quick charging” of the vehicle battery is dangerous and re-
quires a special charger and specialist knowledge. Therefore, have “Quick
loading” carried out by a specialist garage.
