112Climate controlCooling n
Press n
to switch on cooling. The
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation. Cooling is only
functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press n again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above
the freezing point. 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
Autostops.
Stop-start system 3 122.
Air recirculation system 4
Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate activation.
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 may mist
up from outside, when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and deactivate l.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.

In automatic mode, temperature, fan
speed and air distribution are
regulated automatically.
Climate control settings are shown on the Info Display. Setting modifications
are briefly popped-up, superimposed
over the currently displayed menu.
The electronic climate control system is only fully operational when the
engine is running.
Automatic mode AUTO
Basic setting for maximum comfort:
● Press AUTO, air distribution and
fan speed are regulated
automatically. The LED in the button illuminates to indicate
activation.
● Open all air vents to allow optimised air distribution in
automatic mode.
● Press n to switch on optimal
cooling and demisting. The LED
in the button illuminates to
indicate activation.
● Set the preselected temperature using the centre rotary knob.Recommended temperature is
22 °C.
Temperature preselection
Set temperature by turning the centre
rotary knob to the desired value. It is
indicated on the display in the switch.
For reasons of comfort, change
temperature only in small increments.

Climate control115If the minimum temperature Lo is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum cooling if cooling n is
switched on.
If the maximum temperature Hi is set,
the climate control system runs at maximum heating.
Note
If n is switched on, reducing the set
cabin temperature can cause the
engine to restart from an Autostop or
inhibit an Autostop.
