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.

directly via the AUTO button.
Switching

Turn the rotary switch for the air volume, refer
to page 165, to 0. The blower and automatic
climate control are turned off entirely.
Temperature
Concept
The automatic climate control achieves the set
temperature as quickly as possible, if necesj
sary by using the maximum cooling or heating power, 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 clij mate 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
gine is started.
The air conditioning is switched on automatij
cally with the AUTO program.
When using the automatic climate control,
condensation water, refer to page 189, develj
ops and drains underneath the vehicle. This is
normal.
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 164, 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.Seite 164ControlsClimate

OperationPress 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.
Controlling
the
air
flow
manually
Concept
The air flow for climate control can be adjusted manually.
Operation Turn the ring to set the desired
air flow.
The higher the air flow, the more
effective the heating or cooling will be.
The air flow of the automatic climate control
may be reduced automatically to save battery power.
Controlling
the
air
distribution manually
Concept
The air distribution for climate control can be
adjusted manually.
Operation
Press buttons repeatedly to select a program:'yWindows.'yUpper body region.'yFloor area.
You may combine these programs as needed.

Ice and condensation are quickly removed from the windshield and the front side winjdows.
Switching

The air flow can be adjusted with the air flow
active.
If the windows are fogged over, you can also switch on the air conditioning to dehumidify
the air.

off automatically after a certain period of time.
Microfilter
In external and recirculated-air mode the mij
crofilter filters dust and pollen from the air.
Have this filter changed during vehicle maintej
nance, refer to page 232.

information
The function is available above an external
temperature of approx. 32 

The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.
Automatic
recirculated-air
control/
recirculated-air
mode
Concept
The automatic recirculated-air control AUC
recognizes odors or pollutants in the outside
air. The outside air supply is shut off and the interior air is recirculated.
General
information
If the system is activated, a sensor detects polj
lutants in the outside air and controls the shut-
off automatically.
If the system is deactivated, outside air continj uously flows into the car's interior.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the car's interior deteriorates and the
fogging of the windows increases.
Switching
on/off Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:'yLEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.'yLeft LED on, automatic recirculated-air
control: a sensor detects pollutants in the
outside air and shuts off automatically.'yRight LED on, recirculated-air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is perj manently blocked.
Recirculated-air mode switches off automatijcally at low external temperatures after a cerj
tain amount of time in order to avoid window
fogging.
If the windows are fogged over, switch off the
recirculated-air mode and press the AUTO
button to utilize the condensation sensor.
Make sure that air can flow to the windshield.

Concept
The air flow for climate control can be adjusted
manually.
General
information
To manually adjust air flow switch off AUTO
program first.
