Opening the air supply when the air conditioning system is switched on allows cooled 
air to flow into the storage compartment.
Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or interior air 
to flow into the storage compartment.
We recommend that you switch off the cooling if it is operating in the heating mode or 
if you are not using the cooling system for the storage compartment.

Technical Data
Heating and air conditioning systemIntroductionDescription and informationIf the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in the 
vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of the  car is enhanced as a result of this partic-
ularly at high outside temperatures and a  high air humidity. The system prevents the 
windows misting up during th e cold season of the year.
The heating effect is dependent upon the c oolant temperature, thus full heat output 
only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculat ed air mode in order to enhance the cooling 
effect - heating  page 99, Climatic  page 99, Climatronic  page 102.
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order to 
ensure that the heating and cooling systems operate properly.
After switching on the cooling  Condensation from the evaporator of the air condi-
tioning may drip down and form a puddle be low the vehicle. This is quite normal and 
not an indication of a leak!
WARNING
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the 
windows are free of ice, snow and mistin g. Please familiarize yourself about 
how to correctly operate th e heating and ventilation systems, how to demist 
and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, 
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your 
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident 
increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin 
misting up.
Note
The used air streams out through the air  removal openings in the luggage compart-
ment.
If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may 
be produced at the evaporator because of  deposits. Switch the cooling system on at 
least once a month for approximately 5 minu tes at the highest blower stage - also 
during the cold season of the year - in order to avoid such odours. Also open a window 
for a short time.
We recommend that you do not smoke in  the vehicle when the recirculating air 
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the interior 
of the vehicle forms deposits in the evapor ator of the air conditioning system. This 
produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is operating which can 
only be eliminated through considerable  effort and expense (replacement of 
compressor).
Please refer to the information regarding the recirculated air mode for heating 
 page 99 and/or for Climatic  page 99 or Climatronic  page 102.
Using the air conditioning system economicallyThe compressor on the air conditioning syst em uses power from the engine when in 
cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the interior 
has been strongly heated through the effect  of direct sunlight in order to allow the 
heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be switched  on while travelling when the window is 
open.
The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching in the cooling 
system just by switching to fresh air mode.
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you  also reduce pollutant emissions.

– In order to change the lateral direction of the air flow, turn the vertical lamellas with 
the aid of the horizontal wheel to the left or to the right.
The air outlet vents  3, 4   page 96, fig. 99  and 6  page 96, fig. 100  can be closed and 
opened individually.
The air outlet vents  6 are only fitted on vehicles  with higher centre console.
Warmed, unwarmed or cooled air will flow out of the air outlet vents according to the 
setting of the regulator of the heating or  the air conditioning system* and the atmos-
pheric conditions.
HeatingUsing the system
The heating system delivers air into the interior of the vehicle and 
warms it as required.Fig. 101  Heating: Control elementsSetting temperature– Turn the control dial    fig. 101  to the right in order to increase the temperature.
– Turn the control dial   to the left in order to increase the temperature.
Controlling blower– Turn the blower switch   into one of the po sitions, 1 to 4, in order to switch the 
blower on.
– Turn the blower switch   into position  0 in order to switch the blower off.
– If you wish to shut off the fresh air supply,  use the button   - recirculated air mode 
  in “Recirculated air mode” on page 99.Control for air distribution– You can adjust the direction of the air  flow using the air distribution control   
 page 96.Rear window heater– Press button  . Further information  page 62, “Rear window and windscreen 
heater”.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)*– Press the button   in order to directly switch on/off the auxiliary heating (auxiliary 
heating and ventilation). Further information  page 105, “Auxiliary heating (auxil-
iary heating and ventilation)*”.
The blower should aways be on to  prevent the windows from misting up.

Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle 
and then fed back into the interior.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air  outside the vehicle from getting into the 
vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standi ng in a traffic jam.Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button   - the warning light lights up in the button page 97, fig. 101 .Switching recirculated air mode off– Press again the button   - the warning light in the button goes out.
The recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution control   
is in position 
  page 97, fig. 101. You can also switch recirculated air mode on 
again from this setting by repeatedly pressing button  .
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as 
“stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your atten-
tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident 
increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin 
misting up.Climatic* (semi-automatic air conditioning system)Description
The Climatic is a combined coolin g and heating system. It makes it 
possible to optimally control the air  temperature at any season of the 
year.Description of the Climatic
It is important for your safety and for your  driving comfort that the Climatic is operating 
properly. The cooling only operat
es if the button     fig. 102  is pressed, and the following 
conditions are met:
engine running,
outside temperature above approx. +2°C and
blower switch switched  on (positions 1 to 4).
Air at a temperature of about 5°C may flow  out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven distribution of the 
air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for example when getting 
out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.Note
We recommend that you do not smoke in  the vehicle when the recirculating air 
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the interior 
of the vehicle forms deposits in the evapor ator of the air conditioning system. This 
produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is operating which can 
only be eliminated through considerable  effort and expense (replacement of 
compressor).
