Parking
assistantConcept
This system assists the driver in parking paraljlel to the road.
General
information
Parking assistant handling is divided into three
steps:
'ySwitching on and activating.'yParking space search.'yParking.
Ultrasound sensors measure parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
The parking assistant calculates the best posj
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
information WARNING
The system does not relieve from perj
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situaj tion. Based on the limits of the system, it canjnot independently react to all traffic situations.
There is a risk of an accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closelyand actively intervene where appropriate.'

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 needed,
by using the maximum cooling or heating caj
pacity, 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 194, develj
ops and drains underneath the vehicle. This is
normal.
Maximum
coolingConcept
The system is set to the lowest temperature,
optimum air flow and recirculated-air mode.
General
information
The function is available above an external temperature of approx. 32 

Switching
on/offPress button.
Air flows out of the vents to the upper body rej
gion. The vents need to be open for this.
The air flow can be adjusted with the air flow
active.
AUTO
program
Concept
Air flow, air distribution and temperature are
controlled automatically.
Switching
on/off Press button.
Depending on the selected temperaj
ture, the intensity of the AUTO program, and outside influences, the air is directed to thewindshield, side windows, upper body, and
into the floor area.
The air conditioning, refer to page 166, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO proj gram.
At the same time, a condensation sensor conj trols the program so as to prevent window
condensation as much as possible.
Intensity
With the AUTO program switched on, the inj tensity can be set. This changes the automaticcontrol for the air flow and air distribution.
Press the left or right side of the butj
ton: decrease or increase intensity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display

recirculated-air
control/ recirculated-air
mode
Concept
The automatic recirculated-air control AUC
detects odors or pollutants in the outside air. The outside air supply is shut off and the intej
rior 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.
If the windows are fogged over, switch off the
recirculated-air mode and press the AUTO
button on the driver's side to utilize the conj densation sensor. Make sure that air can flow
to the windshield.
