The air will not be cooled or dehumidified. The windows can fog up.•
Automatic mode !AUTO]
The automatic mode is the standard setting for all
seasons.
- Select temperature between 60 °F (+16 °() and 84 °F
(+28 °().
- Press the [AUTO] button.
Automatic operation ensures constant temperatures in the interior
and dehumidifies the air inside the vehicle. Air temperature, volume
and distribution are controlled automatically to reach or maintain the
desired interior temperature as quickly as poss ible. Fluctuations in
exterior temperature and the effects of temperature from the posi
tion of the sun are compensated for automatically.
This operating mode works only in the adjustable temperature range,
from
60 °F (+16 °() to 84 °F ( + 28 °() . If a temperature below 60 °F
( + 16 °C) is selected, LO appears in the display. At temperatures above
84 °F (+28 °C) , HI is displayed. At both extreme settings , climate
control runs continuously at maximum cooling or heating power.
There is no temperature regulation. •
Setting the temperatur e
Separate temperatures can be selected for the driver's
and front passenger's side.
- Rotate the regulator to the left to reduce the tempera-
ture, or to the right to increase the temperature.
The selected temperature appears on the climate control display . The
temperature setting will also appear for a few seconds in the MMI
display .•
Fan @
The automatically preset fan speed can be reduced or
increased.
- Press the I~] button.
- Rotate the regulator to the desired fan speed.
The climate control system automatically regulates fan speed
depending on interior temperature. You can adjust the volume of air
produced by the fan to your own requirements.
The fan speed setting will appear for a few seconds in the MMI display.
[ i] Tips
It is possible that the fan speed may change automatically. This
occurs to ensure that the desired temperature setting is reached as
quickly as possible.•

& WARNING
Following other v ehicles too clo sely increases the risk of a crash
and serious per sonal injury.
• Following other vehicles too closely, particularly at higher
speeds in crea ses the ri sk of collisions and seriou s personal injury.
• Setting short distances to the traffic ahe ad reduces the time
and distance avail able to bring your vehicl e to a safe stop and
makes it even more necessary to pay close attent io n to t raffic.
• Always select a speed and distance to traffic ahead that is safe
and appropriate under the pre vailing traffic, road , weathe r and
lighting conditions.
• Never rely on the distance control feature of ACC alone to
prevent rear-end collisions . Always be pr epared to brake and take
evasive action to a void collisions and other accident situations.
• Never allow the closing sp eed b etween you and other vehicles
to be so high that the Adapti ve Cruise Control may not be able to
s low your vehicle safely . If closing speed is too high, you must
apply the brakes yourself to reduce the r isk of a rear -end crash.
• Always select a greater following di stance to the vehicle ahead
on wet roads than on dry roads.
• Always read and h eed the information and WARNINGS=>

disappears again when the vehicle is at the target level.
Limitations to MMI settings
Please note that not every driving mode can be selected in every
dr iving s ituation . For example , it is not poss ible to switch to "lift"
mode at speeds above 12 mph (20 km/h) . This mode is then shown
greyed out in the MMI Display .
The vehicle can on ly be lowered when
all of the veh icle's doors are
closed.
If one doo r is open, all driving modes whose level setting is
below the current vehicle level appear greyed out in the MMI Display.
If a door is opened whi le the vehicle is being lowered , the lowering
process is interrupted until all doo rs are closed again.
I f the system is temporarily unavailable due to, for instance, an
empty compressed air tank, the driving modes that cannot be set
appear
greyed out in the MMI Display . As soon as the system is avail
able aga in, the driv ing modes can once more be selected in the
display .
(I] Tips
• For additional information on the driving modes=> page 177,

• When the compressed air tank is empty , the compressor can be
switched on by starting the engine. The Adaptive Air Suspension is
once again available, after waiting a few minutes. •

Us ing the ABS sensors, the tire pressure monitoring system compares
t he t ire tread c ircumference and vibrat ion characte rist ics o f the indi
vidual tires. If the pressure decreases in one or more tires, this is indi
cated in the ins trument cl uste r wi th a warning symbol

message=> fig. 244 . The dr iver message in the display goes o ut after
5 seconds . T he driver message can be disp layed again by p ressing the
[ CHECK ] button. If only one t ire is affected , the display will ind icate
its position . The tire press
ure monitoring must be reset via MMI each time the
pressu res are adju sted (e.g. when sw itching between partial and full
load pressure) or after chang ing or replacing a t ire on your veh icle

& WARNING
• If the tire pressure indicator appear s in the instrument cluster
display, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Reduce your speed imm ediately and avoid any hard steering or
brak ing maneuvers . Stop as soon as possible and check the tires
and their pres sures. Inflate the tire pre ssure to the proper pres
s u re as indicated on the vehicle 's tire pressure label=>

Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire cau ses the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure . Under-inflat ion also is l ikely
to impair the vehicle 's handling and stopping ability .
