Heating and cooling
cS5
Air recirculation mode
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interi
or of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the in
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or
in traffic queues
•=>
A-
The air recirculation mode is switched off when
the control is in the defrost position
Qjp
Rear window heating
If the rear window heating is activated with the
ignition switched on, the battery management
determines whether or not the vehicle battery
charge level is sufficient for the rear window
heating to be switched on. Otherwise the rear
window heating operates when the engine is
run
ning,
and switches off automatically after about
10 - 20 minutes, depending on the outside
tem
perature.
To switch on the rear window heating perma
nently, press and hold the
CÛJD
button for at least
2 seconds. This setting will be stored for approxi
mately 15 minutes after the ignition is switched
off.
J
Seat heating*
When you press the
«0
button, the seat heating is
switched on at level 3 (the highest level). The
LEDs indicate the temperature level. To reduce
the temperature, press the button again. To
switch off the seat heating, press the button re
peatedly until all the LEDs have gone out.
The seat heating automatically switches from
level 3 to level 2 after about 10 minutes.
(7) CAUTION
To avoid damaging the heating elements of
the seat heating, please do not kneel on the
seat or apply sharp pressure at
a
single
point
© Note
- The setting for the driver's seat heating is
assigned to the key in use.
- If the front passenger's seat heating was on
when you Last switched off the ignition, it
will be switched on automatically only if the
ignition is switched on again within 10 mi
nutes.
/K
WARNING
- For reasons of safety you should not Leave
the air recirculation switched on for too
long.
This mode prevents fresh air from en
tering the vehicle, so the windows can mist
over if the air cooling* is switched off. Bad
visibility can cause an accident.
- People with limited capacity to feel pain or
sense temperature could burn themselves
when using the seat heating. These people
must not use the seat heating - risk of in
jury!

General warnings for batteries
Because of the complexity of the power supply,
any battery work, such as disconnection, replace
ment, etc. must be carried out by
a
qualified
workshop
^A-
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
Explanation of warnings on vehicle battery:
m
Wear safety glasses!
Battery acid is extremely corrosive. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses.
A
Keep open flames, sparks, uncovered
Lights and lit cigarettes away from the
battery!
A highly explosive mixture of gases may
~\
be given off when the battery is under
charge!
Keep children away from batteries and
battery
acid.
A WARNING
Any work on the batteries and electrical sys
tem in your vehicLe entails a risk of injury and
chemical burns in addition to danger of
acci
dent or fire. For this reason, you must have
the work carried out by a qualified workshop.
©
CA UTION
If the car is left standing for long periods,
protect the battery from frost. The battery
will be damaged irreparably if it is allowed to
freeze

Vehicle battery
The
term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period
^>page
149. Certain convenience fea
tures,
such as interior lighting or electric seat ad
justment, may not be available. These functions
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine.
Even though some systems are deactivated auto
matically, certain electrical equipment continues
to draw current even when the ignition is off. If
the vehicLe is left standing for long periods, this
can result in total battery discharge. If the
vehi
cle battery is allowed to discharge completely, an
internal
chemicaL
reaction damages the battery
irreparably. To avoid this, the vehicle battery
should be recharged at Least once a month
^>page
303. PLease contact a qualified workshop
if
you
have any questions.
Winter conditions
Cold weather is very hard on the vehicle battery.
The starting capacity may be reduced as a result.
For this reason, you should have the vehicle bat
tery checked by
a
qualified workshop before the
start of winter.

A WARNING
- A highly explosive mixture of gases may be
given off when the battery is under charge.
Only charge the vehicle battery in a well
ventilated area.
- When it is discharged the vehicle battery
can freeze at temperatures around 0°C. You
must not use a vehicle battery which has
frozen,
even after it has thawed, because
the ice may have cracked the battery casing
and allowed the battery acid to escape - risk
of explosion and chemical burns! Please
contact
a
qualified workshop if
you
have any
questions.
- Do not connect or disconnect the charging
cables during the charging process - risk of
explosion!
© Note
- Use only the terminals in the engine com
partment to charge the vehicle battery.
- Before you charge the vehicle battery, al
ways read and follow the manufacturer's in
structions for using the battery charger.

Jump-starting
Before starting the engine
If
necessary,
the engine can be started by con
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine fails to start because of
a
dis
charged battery, the vehicle battery can be
con
nected to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine. Suitable jump leads are required.
Both vehicle batteries must be rated at 12 V. The
capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not
be significantly lower than that of the discharged
battery.
Jump leads
The jump Leads must be heavy enough to carry
the starter current. Refer to the details given by
the manufacturer.
Only
use
jump leads with insulated battery
clamps.
Positive cable - usually red.
Negative cable - usually black.
WARNING
- When it is discharged the vehicle battery
can freeze at temperatures around 0°C. A
frozen vehicle battery must first be thawed
out before connecting the jump leads - risk
of explosion and chemical burns! After
jump-starting the vehicle, drive to a quali
fied workshop without delay and have the
vehicle battery checked.
- The engine compartment is a potentially
hazardous area and working here can lead
to serious injuries. Before carrying out any
work in the engine compartment please
read and observe the warnings
*page
295.
- Incorrect handling of the jump leads may
result in the vehicLe battery exploding (risk
of serious injury). Please observe the follow
ing rules to minimise the risk of injury:
- The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive terminal
must not touch metal parts of the vehicle:
this can cause short circuiting.
- Position the jump leads in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with any
moving parts in the engine compartment.
- Do not lean over the vehicle battery - risk of
chemical burns!
- The screw plugs on the battery cells must be
screwed in firmly.
