Air conditioning
Heating, v entil
ation and
cooling
Introduction The Climatr
onic
cools and dehumidifies the
air. Its optimum performance is achieved with
the windows closed.
To switch a specific function on, press the ap-
propriate button. Press the button again to
switch off the function.
The LED on each control lights up to indicate
that the respective function of a control has
been switched on.
Dust and pollen filter
The dust and pollen filter with its activated
charcoal cartridge serves as a barrier
against impurities in the air taken into the ve-
hicle interior.
The dust and pollen filter must be changed
regularly so that air conditioner performance
is not adversely affected.
If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due to
use in areas with very high levels of air pollu-
tion, the filter must be changed more fre-
quently than stated in the Service Schedule. WARNING
Reduced visibility through the windows in-
cr eases the risk of serious accidents.

Operation
direction in which you want the air to come
out. T o get the best possibl
e air flow towards
the windows, open the corresponding diffuser
and turn it to the de-icing/demisting position,
where it will lock.
There are other additional, non-adjustable air
vents in the instrument panel, in the footwells
and in the rear area of the passenger com-
partment. Note
Food, medicine and other heat or cold sen-
sitiv e ob

jects should never be placed in
front of the air outlets as they may be dam-
aged or made unsuitable for use by the air. Air recirculation 
Air recirculation mode prevents the ambient
air fr
om ent

ering the interior.
When the outside temperature is very high,
selecting manual air recirculation mode for a
short period refreshes the vehicle interior
more quickly.
For safety reasons, air recirculation mode is
switched off when the button  is pressed or the air distributor is turned to . Switching the manual air recirculation
mode on and off

Air conditioning
Programming a departure time
What is pr ogr
ammed is the desired tempera-
ture in the passenger compartment for the
planned departure time. Starting from the de-
sired temperature, the vehicle calculates the
time necessary to reach it and, therefore, the
time at which the stationary air conditioning
has to be connected. It is possible to sched-
ule up to three departure times.
Maximum cooling or heating power
The maximum cooling or heating power can
be adjusted by the corresponding applica-
tion installed on a mobile phone.

Infotainment System
The DAB radio tuner supports the DAB, DAB +
and DMB audio tr ansmission st
andards.
The digital radio in Europe is transmitted
through band III frequencies (from 174 MHz to
240 MHz) and of band L (from 1,452 MHz to
1,492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called
“channels” and have an abbreviation (e.g. 12
A).
In a channel, several available DAB stations
are grouped together in an “ensemble”.
DAB radio is not currently available every-
where. DAB radio mode displays  in the
areas without DAB coverage. In the system
and function settings, it is possible to enable
changing to an FM station for this case
››› page 117. In the system and function set-
tings, other settings can be configured for
station tracking and for the reproduction of
DAB announcements. Note
Stations are responsible for the information
they tr ansmit. Operation

Driving
When   or  profiles are selected, the
corr esponding inscription remains on in the
selection button of the driving profile
››› Fig. 139.
Characteristics of driving profiles This driving profile is always adjusted
when the drive system is connected. All
the power of the electric engine is avail-
able. The Climatronic works in normal
mode. When the Normal profile is selec-
ted, the Driving Mode Normal mes-
sage appears on the instrument panel
display.
In the ECO driving profile, the power of
the electric engine is limited to favour
lower energy consumption. The maxi-
mum speed is reduced. The Climatronic
switches to Eco mode, optimal for low
consumption, in which the fan and the
defrosting/demisting functions are still
available. When the ECO profile is selec-
ted, the Driving Mode Eco message
appears on the instrument panel dis-
play.
In the ECO+ driving profile, the power
of the electric engine is limited even
more to favour even lower energy con-
sumption. The maximum speed is re-
duced. The heating and cooling func-
tions of the Climatronic are disconnec-
ted; the fan and the defrosting/demisting
functions are still available. When the
Normal
ECO
ECO+
ECO+ profile is selected, the Driving
Mode Eco message appears on the in-
strument panel displ
ay. WARNING
The driving properties may change de-
pending on the sel ect

ed driving profile.
Never allow the selection of the driving pro-
file to induce you to take any risk that com-
promises safety.

Driving
At high speed and with the windscreen wipers
activ at
ed, the brake pads will briefly touch
the brake discs. This takes place, although
unnoticeable to the driver, at regular intervals
to improve the response time of the brakes
when they are wet.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be
temporarily reduced if the vehicle is driven for
some distance without using the brakes when
there is a lot of salt on the road in winter. The
layer of salt that accumulates on the discs
and pads can be removed by gently apply-
ing the brakes a few times.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for corrosion to
form on the discs and dirt to build up on the
brake pads if the vehicle is used infrequently
or the brakes are not used very often.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or if rust
has formed on the disks, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and disks by braking firmly
a few times at a moderately high speed ››› .
F ault in the br

ake system
If the brake pedal travel should ever increase
suddenly, this may mean that one of the two
brake circuits has failed. Drive immediately to
the nearest specialised workshop and have
the fault repaired. Drive there slowly and re-
member that you will have to apply more pressure on the brake pedal and allow for
longer st

opping distances.
Low brake fluid level
Malfunctions can occur in the brake system if
the brake fluid level is too low. The brake fluid
level is monitored electronically.
Brake servo
The electromechanical brake servo increases
the pressure that you exert when you press
the brake pedal. It only works when the vehi-
cle’s ignition or drive system is switched on. WARNING
Any anomaly in the brake system can in-
cr ease the br

aking distance, with the re-
sulting risk of an accident.

Maintenance
Washing the vehicle The longer you take to clean the tanks, e.g.
r
emains of insects, bir
d excrements, tree resin
or anti frost salt adhered to your vehicle, the
more damage it can cause to the surface.
High temperatures, for instance strong sun-
light, further intensify the damage.
Before washing the car, soften the dirt using
plenty of water.
To remove encrusted dirt such as insects, bird
droppings or tree resin, use a lot of water and
a microfibre cloth.
Have the underside of the vehicle washed af-
ter the end of the anti frost salts in winter.
High pressure cleaning equipment
When washing the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This applies
particularly to the operating pressure and the
distance between the spraying water. Do not
point the jet directly towards the side win-
dows, doors or covers; the same applies for
the tyres, rubber hoses, damping material,
sensors* or camera lenses*. Keep a distance
of at least 40 cm.
Do not remove snow and ice with a high-
pressure cleaner. Do not use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a dir
ect str

eam or one that has a rotating
jet for forcing off dirt.
The water temperature must not exceed
60°C.
Automatic car washes
Spray the vehicle before starting the car
wash.
Make sure that the windows are closed and
the windscreen wipers are deactivated. Bear
in mind the instructions of the car wash tunnel
operator, especially if your vehicle has de-
tachable parts.
Use of car washes without brushes if possible.
Washing by hand
Clean your vehicle from top to bottom with a
soft sponge or with a brush. Only use clean-
ing products that do not contain solvents.
Washing vehicles with a matte paint by
hand
To prevent damage to the vehicle when
washing it, first remove the thicker dust and
dirt. To remove traces of insects, grease and
fingerprints, it is best to use a special cleaner
for matte paint.
Apply the product with a microfibre cloth. To
avoid damaging the surface of the paint, do
not apply too much pressure. Rinse with plenty of water. Then clean it with
a neutral cl
eaning product and a soft microfi-
bre cloth.
Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of water
and then leave it to dry. Remove traces of
water with a leather cloth. WARNING
