Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is switched on.
The layout of the controls on right-hand drive vehicles differs partially from
that shown in this layout » Fig. 42 on page 58 .
WARNINGThe automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and
does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the lights and, if
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing light condi-
tions.
Note
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the light is on, the light-emit-
ting surface demists after a short time.Operating the lightsFig. 42

The Xenon headlights feature no manual headlight range control. After
switching on the ignition, adjust these automatically to the load and driving
condition of the vehicle.
WARNINGAlways adjust the headlight beam to meet the following conditions - other-
wise there is a risk of an accident.■
The vehicle does not dazzle other road users, especially oncoming vehi-
cles.
■
The beam range is sufficient for safe driving.
58Using the system
WARNING■The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there is a risk of 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.

Information on cooling system
After pressing the button
the indicator light on the button lights up, even if
not all the conditions for the cooling system have been met. The cooling sys-
tem starts to work as soon as the following conditions have been met
» page 93 .
Note
To ensure adequate thermal comfort, during operation of the manual air condi-
tioning there could be an increase in the engine idle speed in some circum-
stances.

When the function is switched on, the indicator light in the button lights up.
After the cooling system is switched off, only the ventilation function remains
active whereby the minimum temperature that can be reached is the outside
temperature.
Setting temperature
The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately or to-
gether.
The temperature for both sides, is set by turning the knob A
» Fig. 116 (the
indicator light in the button is not illuminated).
The temperature for the right side is adjusted by turning the knob
D
(the in-
dicator light in the button is lit).
The temperature for the left side is adjusted by turning the knob
A
(the indi-
cator light in the button is lit).
At a temperature setting below 18 ° C at the start of the numerical scale, the
symbol will illuminate, Climatronic is using
Maximum cooling performance.
At a temperature setting above 26 ° C at the end of the numerical scale, the
symbol will illuminate, Climatronic is using
maximum heat output.
There is no automatic temperature control in the two end positions. In the
range between 18 °C to 26 °C, an automatic temperature control takes place.
Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with
the interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adap-
ted to suit your particular needs.
If the blower speed is reduced to a minimum, Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the button
when the respective
number of indicator lights come on.
CAUTION
Do not cover the interior temperature sensor H » Fig. 116 - the function of the
Climatronic could be impaired.
Note
■ If the windscreen mists up, press the button . Press the button once
the windscreen has demisted.■
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.
Climatronic - automatic operation
Read and observe
on page 94 first.
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and
to demist the windows in the interior of the car.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button
lights up, the Cli-
matronic operates in “HIGH”-mode.
Upon pressing the
button again, the Climatronic switches to “LOW”-mode
and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses on-
ly in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air
conditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button
again, it is changed to “HIGH”-mode.
Automatic mode can be switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air
distribution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature
regulation is continued.
Note
Climatronic is set to the “HIGH” mode at the factory.95Heating and ventilation

/ Increase speedCLaunch control / reduce speeda)
If no speed is set the current speed is adopted.
Once the controls are activated, the CCS maintains the vehicle at the set
speed; the warning light lights up in the instrument cluster.
After the interruption in control, the stored speed can be resumed by pressing
the
B
button.
Controls are automatically interrupted if any of the following occur.
▶ By pressing the brake or clutch pedal.
▶ When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
▶ Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING■ Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
NoteDuring control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.
Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (hereinafter referred to as system) recommends
the driver takes a break from driving when driver fatigue can be detected due
to the driver's steering behaviour.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system ▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
The system can be activated / deactivated in MAXI DOT display » page 43.
Pause recommendation
The icon appears and the following message for a few seconds in the display
of the instrument cluster and a message about the detected fatigue. An au-
dible signal is also emitted.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 110, in section General information .■
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
you feel tired.
■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
122Driving
CAUTIONIt is important to ensure that the jack is correctly positioned against the bar of
the lower beam - otherwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle.

ble, or consult a specialist garage about repair options.
Do not remove foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre (e.g. nails).
Do not use the breakdown kit in the following cases.
▶ The rim is damaged.
▶ The outside temperature is below -20 ° C.
▶ Tyre punctures greater than 4 mm.
▶ Damage to the tyre wall.
▶ The use-by date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
