Useful information

This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional
equipment of your vehicle available at the
time of publication of the Operator's Man- ual. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may
not feature all functions described here.
This also applies to safety-relevant sys-
tems and functions.

Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol- lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
fog up.
To prevent the windows from fogging up:
Rswitch off climate control only briefly
Rswitch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly
Rswitch on the cooling with air dehumidi-
fication function
Rswitch on the defrost windshield function
briefly, if required
Automatic climate control regulates the tem-
perature and the humidity of the vehicle
interior. It also filters undesirable substan-
ces out of the air.
Automatic climate control is only available
when the engine is running. Optimum opera-
tion is only achieved with the side windows
closed.
iWhen the weather is warm, ventilate the
vehicle for a brief period. This will speed up the cooling process, and the desired
vehicle interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
iThe integrated filter filters out most
particles of dust and pollen. It also
reduces odors. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle inte-
rior. For this reason, you should always
observe the interval for replacing the fil- ter, which is specified in the Maintenance
Booklet. As it depends on environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Maintenance Booklet.

Switching cooling with air dehumidi-
fication on/off
General notes
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the
vehicle will not be cooled. The air inside the
vehicle will also not be dehumidified. The
windows can fog up more quickly. Therefore,
deactivate the cooling with air-dehumidifi-
cation function only briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function is only available when the engine is
running. The air inside the vehicle is cooled
and dehumidified according to the tempera-
ture selected.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function does not function when the outside
temperature is low.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This
is normal and not a sign that there is a mal-
function.
Switching on/off
XStart the engine (Ypage 87).
XTo activate: press the00F2and005A but-
tons.
The indicator lamp in the 005Abutton
lights up.
XTo deactivate: press the005Abutton.
The indicator lamp in the 005Abutton goes
out.
Setting climate control to automatic
General notes
In automatic mode, the set temperature is
maintained automatically at a constant level. The system automatically regulates the air- flow and the air distribution according to the
temperature.
Automatic control
XTurn the ignition key to position

start the engine (Ypage 87).
XTo activate: press the0058button.
The indicator lamp in the 0058button

XPress the 0064button.
The indicator lamp in the 0058button goes
out.
iIf you manually change one of the func-
tions, the indicator lamp in the 0058but-
ton goes out. All further functions will
still be automatically controlled.
Setting the temperature
XStart the engine (Ypage 87).
XTo increase or reduce: push temperature
slide 006Eto the right or left (Ypage 80).
Push slide 006Eall the way to the right or left
(
Ypage 80).
Only change the temperature setting in small
increments. Start at 72 ‡(22 †).
Setting the air distribution
Air distribution settings
Á Directs air through the defroster vents
009C Directs the airflow to the center and
side air vents
009B Directs air through the footwell air
vents
iYou can also activate several air distri-
bution settings simultaneously. To do this,
press multiple air distribution buttons.
The air is then directed through various
vents.
