sible parking line and during the parking procej
dure takes control of steering, the acceleration and braking, and if needed, changes the gears.
Press and hold the park assistance button forthe duration of the parking procedure.
System status and instructions on required acj
tions are displayed on the Control Display.
The parking assistant uses the sensors of PDC
Park Distance Control.
Safety

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 system heats or cools, depending on the
set temperature.
Settings Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
To reduce the energy consumpj
tion, the cooling or heating outj
put is reduced or deactivated as
per ECO-PRO mode, refer to page 169.
Air
conditioning
Concept
The air in the car's interior will be cooled and dehumidified and, depending on the temperaj
ture setting, warmed again.
Cooling of the car's interior with the A/C button
is only possible with drive-ready state
switched on.
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 drive-

The air conditioner produces condensation water, refer to page 165, that will exit from bej
low the vehicle.
Recirculated-air
mode
Concept
You may react to unpleasant odors or polluj tants in the immediate environment by tempojrarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air flow within the
vehicle.
Operation Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:'yLED off: outside air flows in continuously.'yLED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply
of outside air into the vehicle is permaj
nently blocked.
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
lated-air mode and increase the air flow, if
needed.
