122Climate controlSet the fan < to regulate the amount
of cooled air to be flown into the rear
passenger compartment.
Auxiliary heater Coolant heater
The engine-independent, fuel-
powered coolant heater provides
rapid heating of the engine coolant to
enable heating of the vehicle interior
without the engine running.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat, set the
air distribution to V and turn the fan
on.
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.
Control units
The timer or remote control unit turns the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.Timer (Type A)1 Display:Displays preset, current

128Climate controlRear air ventsDepending 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 alsokeep 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.
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.
ServiceFor optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended to annually check the
climate control system, starting
3 years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check
Notice
Refrigerant R-134a contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential of 1430.
Front air conditioning system is filled
with 0.58 kg and has a CO 2
equivalent of 0.83 tonnes, the front
and rear air conditioning system is
filled with 0.88 kg and has a CO 2
equivalent of 1.26 tonnes.
Depending on vehicle, information
regarding air conditioning refrigerant
appears on a label located in the
engine compartment.

Driving and operating131Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period, fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of
the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging the
vehicle battery.
