Setting climate control to automatic
General notes
Automatic mode is only available with dual-zone
automatic air conditioning.
In automatic mode, the set temperature is main-
tained automatically at aconstant level. The
system automatically regulates the temperature
of the dispensed air, the airflow and the air dis-
tribution.
The automatic mode functions optimally when
the "Cooling with air dehumidification" function
is activated. If necessary, cooling with air dehu-
midification can be deactivated.
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumid- ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will also
not be dehumidified.T he windows can fog up
more quickly. Therefore, deactivate the cooling
with air-dehumidification function only briefly.

as the rear window is clear. Otherwise, the rear window defroster switches off automatically
after several minutes.
If the battery voltage is too low, the rear window
defroster may switch off.

General notes
The residual heat function is only available on
vehicles for Canada.
It is possible to make use of the residual heat of
the engine to continue heating the stationary
vehicle for up to 30 minutesafter the engine has
been switched off. The heating time depends on
the set interior temperature.

overheating and wearing too quickly.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic con-
ditionsmake it appropriate to maintain asteady
speed for aprolonged period. You can stor eany
road speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Important safetyn otes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, cruise con-
trol can neither reduce the risk of an accident
nor override the laws of physics. Cruise control
cannot take intoaccountt he road, traffic and
weather conditions. Cruise control is only an
aid. You are responsible for the distance to the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for brakin gin
good time and for staying in lane.
Do not use cruise control:
Rin road and traffic condition swhich do not
allow you to maintain aconstan tspeed e.g. in
heavy traffic or on winding roads
Ron slippery road surfaces.B raking or accel-
eratin gcould cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle could then skid
Rwhen ther eispoor visibility, e.g. due to fog,
heavy rain or snow
If ther eisac hangeofd rivers, advise the new
driver of the speed stored.

When you activate cruise control, the stored
speed is shown in the multifunction display for
five seconds. The speed is then permanently
displayed in the status indicator together with
the ¯ symbol. On vehicles with

ometer, the segments from the currently saved speed to the end of the segmentr ing light up.

XAcceleratet he vehicle to the desired speed.
XBriefly press the cruise control lever up :or

XRemove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is activated. The vehicle auto-
matically maintains the stored speed.
You can stor ethe currents peed if you are driv-
ing faster than 20 mph (30 km/h).
iCruise control may be unable to maintain
the stored speed on uphill gradients. The
stored speed is resumed when the gradient
evens out. Cruise control maintains the
stored speed on downhill gradient sbyauto-
matically applying the brakes.
Storing or calling up aspeed
GWARNING
If you call up the stored speed and it differs
from the currents peed, the vehicle acceler-
ates or decelerates. If you do not know the
stored speed, the vehicle could accelerateo r
brake unexpectedly. There is arisk of an acci-
dent.
Pay attention to the road and traffic condi-
tion sbefore calling up the stored speed. If you
do not know the stored speed, stor ethe
desired speed again.
XBriefly pull the cruise control lever towards

XRemove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
The first time cruise control is activated, it
stores the currents peed or regulates the
speed of the vehicle to the previously stored
speed.

Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
alimited manner:
Rif the trunk lid is open
Rin heavy rain, snow or fog
Rat night or in very dark places
Rif the camera is exposed to very bright light
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent bulbsorL ED
lighting (the displaym ay flicker)
Rif there isasudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into aheated garage in win-
ter
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
Observe the notes on cleaning
(
Ypage 240)
Rif the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at aqualified specialist workshop
The field of vision and other functions of the rear
view camera may be restricted due to additional
accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
license plate holder, bicycle rack).
For technical reasons, leaving the standard
height can result in inaccuracies in the guide
lines on vehicles with aheight-adjustable chas-
sis.
iThe rear view camera is protected from rain-
drops and dust by means of aflap. When the
rear view camera is activated, this flap opens.
The flap closes againw hen:
Ryou have finished the maneuvering process
Ryou switch off the engine
Ryou open the trunk
Observe the notes on cleaning (
Ypage 240).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the rear view camera has
been deactivated.
Activating/deactivating the rear view camera
XTo activate: make sure that the SmartKey is
in position 2in the ignition lock.
XMake sure that the Activation byRgearfunction is selected in the multimedia system;
see the Digital Operator's Manual.
XEngage reverse gear.
The rear view camera flap opens. The multi-
media system shows the area behind the vehi-
cle with guide lines. The image from the rear view camera is avail-
able throughout the maneuvering process.
To deactivate: the rear view camera deacti-
vates if you shift the transmission to Por after
driving forwards ashort distance.
Displays in the multimedia system
The rear view camera may show adistorted view
of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not at all.
The rear view camera does not show objects in
the following positions:
Rvery close to the rear bumper
Runder the rear bumper
Rin close range above the handle on the trunk

!Objects not at ground level may appeart o
be further awayt han they actually are, e.g.:
Rthe bumper ofaparked vehicle
Rthe drawbarofat railer
