WARNING
•The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width lines should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The distance viewed on the monitor
is for reference only and may be different
than the actual distance between the ve-
hicle and displayed objects.
•Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the bird’s-
eye view are greatly affected by the number
of occupants, fuel level, vehicle position,
road condition and road grade.
•When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are farther than they
appear. When driving the vehicle down a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor are closer
than they appear.
•Objects in the monitor will appear visually
opposite compared to when viewed in the
rear view and outside mirrors.
•Use the mirrors or actually look to properly
judge distances to other objects.

WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and in-
jure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
•Do not adjust the heating and air condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate
even if the engine is turned off and the ignition
switch is in the ON position.NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up. To prevent the windows from misting
up
•Switch off climate control only briefly.
•Switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly.
•Switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting function
briefly, if required.The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control regulates the temperature and the hu-
midity of the vehicle interior and filters unde-
sirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control can only be operated when the engine is
running. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows closed.
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear. Otherwise the vehicle will
not be ventilated correctly.
NOTE
•Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
•The integrated filter filters out most particles
of dust and soot and completely filters out
pollen. With automatic climate control, gas-
eous pollutants and odors will also be re-
duced. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this
reason, you should always observe the inter-
val for replacing the filter, which is specified
in the Service Booklet. As this depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Service Booklet.

Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
If you deactivate theCooling with air dehumidi-
ficationfunction, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will
also not be dehumidified. The windows can mist
up more quickly. Therefore, only deactivate the
Cooling with air dehumidificationfunction
briefly.
TheCooling with air dehumidificationfunction
is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selected.
