the buttons and controlled using the rotary
con
trols.
The LED in the corresponding button lights
up when the function is switched on.
Manual air conditioner*
For
a
comfortable climate inside the vehicle us
ing the air conditioner:
- In the summer, adjust the temperature to just
a few degrees below the outside temperature
- Do not turn the blower up too high
- Do not point the air outlets directly at the occu
pants
A/C Cooling mode*
The air cooling system only works when the blow
er is switched on. The air cooling mode is switch
ed on/off when the A/C button is pressed. When
the air cooling is switched off, the air is not
cooled and therefore not dehumidified. The
win
dows may mist up as a result. The air cooling is
switched off automatically at low outside
tem
peratures.

Blower
You can adjust the blower speed manually using
control®.
You should leave the blower on at a
low setting to prevent the windows from misting
up and to ensure that the vehicle interior is
con
stantly ventilated. To demist the windows, we
recommend
that
you increase the blower speed
and set control ® to

At the

win
dows are defrosted or demisted as quickly as pos
sible.
The air recirculation is switched off, but can
be switched on again manually by pressing the

To prevent the front side windows from misting
up in wet weather, it's a good idea to open the
side air outlets and point them to the side.
Foot-level air outlets are provided underneath
the front seats to heat the rear cabin.

Checking and topping up fluids
© CAUTIO
-The anti-freeze concentration must be
matched to the climate of the country in
which you are driving. If the concentration
is too
high,
damage to the car may result.
- Never put in radiator anti-freeze or other
additives.
- Never use washer fluid which contains paint
thinners or solvents as it can damage the
paintwork.
Service interval display
The
service interval display detects when the
next
service
is due
for
your vehicle.
There are two service interval dispLay levels:
- Inspection or oil change reminder: After a cer
tain mileage, a service reminder will appear in
the instrument cluster dispLay each time the ig
nition is switched on/off. The distance or time
remaining will be shown briefly.
- Inspection or oil change due: When your
vehi
cle is due for an inspection, oil change or
both,
the corresponding reminder Inspection
due!,
Oil change due! or Oil change and inspection
due!
will appear briefly after you switch the ig
nition on/off.
Checking the service intervals
On the infotainment system, you can look up the
distance and time remaining until the next oil
change or next service inspection. Select the
fol
lowing on the infotainment system:

Service intervals.
Applies
to: vehicles with flexible oil change service
You cannot check the service interval on a new
vehicle until it has been driven for about 500 km.
Qualified workshops reset the service interval af
ter the oil is changed. The distance to the next oil
change is initially displayed based on the driving
profile prior to the oil change. Your own personal
driving profile is used subsequently to calculate
the remaining distance. Frequent cold starts or
short trips place extra demands on the engine oil
with the result that the oil has to be changed
more often.
Resetting the display
Your qualified workshop resets the service inter
val display after each service.
It is very important that you reset the oil change
dispLay if
you
change the oil yourself. The
next
oil
change will be due after
a
fixed service interval.
To reset the display, select the following on the
infotainment system:
|MENU|
button > Car
>
left
control button > Servicing & checks
>
Service in
tervals
>
Reset oil change interval.
(J) CAUTION
- Do not reset the oil change interval display
unless you have changed the oil.
- Keeping to the correct service intervals is
crucial for the operation, service life and re
sidual value of the vehicle (and especially
for the life of the engine). Services must al
ways be carried out promptly, even if the
mileage is Low.
