features
and
options
This chapter describes all standard, country- specific and optional features offered with theseries. It also describes features that are notnecessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due
to the selected options or country versions.
This also applies to safety-related functions
and systems. When using these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations
must be observed.Interior
air
quality
The air quality inside the vehicle is improved
by an emissions-tested interior, a microfilter, and a climate-control system for regulatingtemperature, air flow, and recirculated-airmode.
In addition there are other functions which dej
pend on the vehicle's equipment, for instance microfilter/activated-charcoal filter, automaticclimate control with automatic recirculated-air
control AUC, and parked-car ventilation.

Temperature
Concept
The automatic climate control achieves the set
temperature as quickly as possible, if necesj sary by using the maximum cooling or heatingpower, and then keeps it constant.
Settings Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
Do not rapidly switch between different temj perature settings. Otherwise, the automatic clijmate control will not have sufficient time to adj
just the set temperature.
Air
conditioning Concept
The air in the car's interior will be cooled and
dehumidified and, depending on the temperaj
ture setting, warmed again.
The car's interior can only be cooled with the
engine running.
Switching
on/off
Press button.
Air conditioning is switched on or off.
Depending on the weather, the windshield and
side windows may fog up briefly when the enj

AUTO
program
Concept
Air flow, air distribution and temperature are controlled automatically.
Switching
on/off Press button.
Depending on the selected temperaj
ture and outside influences, the air is directed to the windshield, side windows, upper body,and into the floor area.
The air conditioning, refer to page 174, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO proj gram.
Recirculated-air
mode Concept
You may react to unpleasant odors or polluj
tants in the immediate environment by tempoj rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air flow within the
vehicle.

To prevent window fogging, recirculated-air
mode switches off automatically after a certain amount of time, depending on the environj
mental conditions.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the car's interior deteriorates and the
fogging of the windows increases.
If the windows fog over, switch off recircuj
