Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
AC:cooling4:air recirculation
Heated seats 3 45.
Cooling (AC)
Press AC to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by illumination
of the LED in the button. Cooling is
only functional when the engine is
running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press AC again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
may inhibit an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 117.
Notice
Air conditioning performance is

Air recirculation system 4
Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. Activation is indicated by
illumination of the LED in the button.Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling, the
air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and avoid the use
of air distribution settings J and V.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.

106Climate controlAuxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant
heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine
running.Caution
Do not touch the exhaust pipe. It
may be hot even after the engine
has been switched off, due to
coolant heater operation.
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
9Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.

110Climate controlTo open or close the centre air ventsand direct the flow of air, tilt the slats
up or down and turn the adjuster
wheel left or right.
Side air vents
To open or close the side air vents, tilt the slats up or down.
Direct the flow of air by rotating the
vents.
Depending upon the position of the
temperature control, air will be
directed into the vehicle via the side
air vents.
Rear air vents
Depending on vehicle, additional
adjustable air vents are located in the
rear passenger compartment.
Fixed air vents Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows, in the foot wells and,
depending on vehicle, in the rear
passenger compartment.
Glovebox cooler
The air conditioning system can also
keep the contents of the glovebox
cool.Maintenance
Air intake The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter
The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
Air conditioning regular operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when outside
temperature is too low.
