The seat heating / ventilation only works when the engine is running. When the ignition is switched off, the seat heating / ventilation is also switch-ed off. if the engine is started again within 10 minutes, then the driver's seat
heating / ventilation is switched on again automatically according to the set-
ting before switching off the ignition.
WARNINGIf you have a limited pain and / or temperature sensitivity, e.g. due to medi-
cation, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recom-
mend that you do not use the seat heating. If the seat heating is used, we
recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving long dis-
tances, so that the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey.
Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed to avoid damage to the seats.■Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■
Do not heat seats that do not contain occupants.
■
Do not heat seats in which objects are secured or resting (e.g. children´s
seat, a bag etc.).
■
Do not heat seats on which additional slipcovers or protective covers are fit-
ted.
Note
If the on-board voltage decreases, the seat heating and ventilation switches
off automatically » page 273, Automatic consumer shutdown - discharge pro-
tection of the vehicle battery .

When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the
shift in centre-of-gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted ac-
cordingly.
When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to
▶ Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or securing nets so that they can-
not slip.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ Tyre pressure is to match the load.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the boot lid is opened or closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.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.
■
Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-
gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the com-
partments.
■
Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and not load these
punctiform - there is a risk of damage to the compartments.

The heating heats and ventilates the vehicle interior. The air conditioning sys-
tem also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The cooling system works under the following conditions. The cooling system is switched on.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is below 2 ° C.
The blower is switched on.
Fogging is prevented when the cooling system is switched on.
It is possible to boost the effectiveness of the cooling system by briefly acti-
vating the air recirculation system » page 117.
Health protection
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the
use of the cooling system are to be observed. ▶ The difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor air temper-
ature should not be greater than about 5 ° C.
▶ The cooling system should be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
▶ Once a year, the air conditioning should be disinfected by a specialist garage. 
113Heating and ventilation

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.
