– When you again press the switch  , the cooling system is switched off. The  warning light in the button goes out. Only  the function of the ventilation remains 
active when no lower temperature than the outside temperature can be reached.Setting temperatureYou can separate the interior temperature for the left and right side separately.
– You can set the temperature for both sides  after switching on the ignition with the 
control dial  .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial  . The  warning light in the button   lights up,  this indicates that differing tempera-
tures for the left and right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button   lights up, the temperature for both sides 
cannot be set with the control dial  . You can  reinitiate this function by pressing the 
button  . The warning light in the button which indicates the possibility to set 
differing temperatures for the left and right side, goes out.
You can set the interior temperature between +18°C and +26°C. The interior temper-
ature is regulated automatically within this  range. If you chose a temperature lower 
than +18°C, a blue symbol lights up at the  start of the numerical scale. If you chose a 
temperature higher than +26°C, a red symbol lights up at the end of the numerical 
scale. In both limit positions the Climatroni c operates at maximum cooling or heating 
capacity, respectively. The temperatur e is not controlled in this case.
Lengthy and uneven distri bution of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the leg 
area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the vehicle, 
can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle 
and then fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution 
control is switched on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration 
of pollutants in the drawn-in air.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the 
vehicle, for example when driving through a tunn el or when standing in a traffic jam. If 
a considerable increase in concentration of  pollutants is recognized by the air quality 
sensor, when the automatic air distribution co ntrol is switched on, the air distribution 
control will temporarily be switched off. If  the concentration of pollutants decreases to 
the normal level, the air distribution control  is automatically switched off so that fresh 
air can be guided into  the vehicle interior.Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button repeatedly    until the warning light on the left side of the 
button lights up.Switch on automatic air distribution control– Press the button repeatedly    until the warning light on the right side of the 
button lights up.Switch off automatic air distribution control temporarily– If the air quality sensor does not switch on  the air distribution control automatically 
when there is a nauseating smell, you can  switch it on yourself by pressing the 
button  *. The warning light lights up  in the button on the left side.Switching recirculated air mode off– Press the button   or press the button   repetitively, until the warning 
lights in the button go out.
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-

The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature is 
higher than approx. 2°C.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.The Climatronic system controls the blower st ages automatically in line with the inte-
rior temperature. You can also , however, a dapt the bl ower stages ma nua lly to suit y our 
particular needs.
– Press again the button   on the left side (reduce blower speed) or on the right  side (increase blower speed).
If you switch off the blower, the Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the button   when the respective number 
of warning lights come on.
WARNING
“Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce atten-
tion levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident 
increases.
Do not switch the Climatronic system off for longer than necessary.
Switch the Climatronic system on as soon as the windows mist up.

The auxiliary heating (auxiliary he ating and ventilation) heats or 
supplies the interior of the vehicl e with fresh air independent of the 
engine.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the Climatic or 
Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when engi ne is switched off for preheating of the 
vehicle as well as while driving (only during the heating phase of the engine).
The engine is also preheated when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is switched 
off, if the auxiliary heating is switched on.
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) wa rms up the coolant during the combustion 
of fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant warms up the air, which (if the blower speed 
is not set to zero) flows into the occupant compartment.
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by switching 
off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively decreased (e.g. with the 
vehicle parked in the sun).

– In the menu  Mode select the desired mode  Heating for or Ventilation for .ProgrammingFor the programming of the auxiliary heating  (auxiliary heating and ventilation) in the 
menu Aux. heating (Aux. heating)  there are three pre-set times:
Pre-set time 1 
Pre-set time 2 
Pre-set time 3 
In each pre-set time, the day and the time  (hour and minute) can be set for switching 
on the auxiliary heating and/or ventilation.
An empty position can be fo und between Sunday and Monday  when selecting the day. 
If this empty position is selected, the activation is performed without taking into 
account the day.
If you leave the pre-set  menu by selecting the menu  Back or do not make changes on 
the display for longer than 10 seconds, the set values are stored, but the pre-set time 
is not active. Both other pre-set times can be prog
rammed and stored in the same way.
If you select the menu  Activate after setting the desired values, appears in the display 
Pre-set time (weekday, hours, minute) activated.  and the set pre-set time is active.
Only one programmed pre-set time can be active.
The last programmed pre-set time remains active.
After the auxiliary heating activates at the set time, it is necessary to pre-set a time 
again.
Changing the active pre-set time is carried out after selecting the menu point  Activate 
in the menu  Aux. heating (auxiliary heating)  by selecting a pre-set time.
The prerequisite for the correct switching on of the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating

You should not switch on any major elec trical components during the heating 
period otherwise  the vehicle battery will  be drained unnecessarily.
 - start engine
Applies to all models:
Position 
To   lock the steering , with the ignition key withdrawn, turn the steering wheel until the 
steering locking pin is heard to  engage. You should always lock the steering as a general 
rule if you leave your vehicle. This acts as  a deterrent against possible theft of your 
vehicle  .
Position 
Move the steering wheel back and forward a little if the ignition key cannot, or cannot 
easily be turned into this position, in order to release the steering lock.
Position 
The engine is started in this position. At the same time, major electrical components 
are switched off for short periods. The ignition key moves back into position   when 
one releases the key.
The ignition key must be turned back into  position   each time before starting the 
engine again. The starter repeat lock in th e ignition lock prevents the starter being 
engaged when the engine is r unning and thus getting damaged.
Ignition key withdrawal lock (automatic gearbox)
You can only withdraw the ignition key after switching off the ignition if the selector 
lever is in position  P.
WARNING
When driving, the ignition key must always be in the position   (ignition 
switched on) without the engine running. This position is indicated by the 
warning lights coming on. If this is not the case, it could result in unexpected 
locking of the steering wh eel - risk of accident!
Only remove the ignition key from the ignition lock when the vehicle has 
come to a standstill (by applying the handbrake or moving the selector lever 
into the position P). The  steering lock can engage imme diately - risk of acci-
dent!
Always withdraw the ignition key if you are going to leave the vehicle, even 
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle. 
The children might otherwise start the engi ne or switch on electrical equipment 
(e.g. power windows) - risk of accident or injury!
Starting the engineGeneral
You can only start the engine only using an original ignition key.
Place the gearshift lever into neutral (or  place the selector lever to the position P  or 
N  in the case of an automatic gearbox) and put on the handbrake firmly before starting 
the engine.
Before starting, it is necessary to depres s the clutch pedal and to hold it pressed 
until the engine starts. If you start the engi ne without depressing the clutch pedal, the 
engine does not start and a message is show n in the display of the instrument cluster 
to remind you of th e necessity to depress the clutch pedal.
Let go of the key as soon as the engine starts otherwise there may be damage to 
the starter.
The engine running noises may louder at first be louder for a short time after starting 
the cold engine until oil pressure can be  built up in the hydraulic valve clearance 
compensation. This is quite normal  and is not an operating problem.
If the engine does not start ...
You can use the battery of anothe r vehicle as a jump-start aid page 228.
It is only possible to tow-start vehicles fitt ed with a manual gearbox. The tow-starting 
distance must not be more than 50 metres  page 231.

poisonous gas - hazard! Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and 
death.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running.Caution
The starter may only be operated (ignitio n key position  ), if the engine is not 
running. If the starter is immediately operated  after switching off the engine, the starter 
or the engine can be damaged.
Avoid high engine revolutions, full throttle and high engine loads as long as the 
engine has not yet reached its normal oper ating temperature - risk of damaging the 
engine!
Vehicles which are fitted with an exhaust gas catalytic converter should not be tow-
started over a distance of more than 50 metres.For the sake of the environment
Never warm up the engine when the vehicle  is standing. Drive off right away. Through 
this the engine reaches its operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emis-
sions are lower.Petrol enginesThese engines are fitted with a starter system which selects the correct fuel-air mixture 
for every external air temperature.
Do not operate accelerator before and when starting engine.
Interrupt the attempt at starting after 10 seconds if the engine does not start right 
awayand wait for about 30 seconds before repeating the attempt.
It is possible that the fuse on the electric al fuel pump is defect if the engine still 
does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary  page 233.
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
It may be necessary, if the engine is  very hot, to slightly depress the accelerator after 
the engine has started.
Diesel enginesGlow plug system
Diesel engines are equipped with a glow  plug system, the preglow period being 
controlled automatically in line with the coolant temperature and outside tempera-
ture.
The preglow indicator light 
 comes on after the ignition has been switched on.
You should not switch on any major electrical components during the heating 
period otherwise the vehicle battery will be drained unnecessarily.
You should start the engine immediately after the glow plug warning light 
 has 
gone out.
The glow plug warning light will come on for about one second if the engine is at a 
normal operating temperature or if the outside temperature is above +5°C. This means 
that you can start the engine  right away.
Interrupt the attempt at  starting after 10 seconds if th e engine does not start right 
awayand wait for about 30 seconds before repeating the attempt.
It is possible that the fuse on the diesel preglow system is defect if the engine still 
does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary  page 233.
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
Starting the engine after the fuel tank has run dry
It may take longer than normal to start the  engine after refuelling if the fuel tank has 
run completely dry - up to one minute. This is  because the fuel system must first of all 
be filled while the attempting to start the engine.
Switching off the engine– The engine can be switched off by tu rning the ignition key into position   
 page 108, fig. 106.
WARNING
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary - risk of accident!

Technical Data
The brake booster only operates when  the engine is running. Greater phys-
ical effort for braking is required when en gine is switched off. Because if you do 
not stop as normal, this can cause an accident and severe injuries.Caution
you should not switch the engine off right  away at the end of your journey after the 
engine has been operated for a lengthy period  at high loads but should be allowed it 
to run at idling speed for about 2 minutes.  This prevents any accumulation of heat 
when the engine is switched off.
Note
The radiator fan may continue running fo r a further 10 minutes or so after the 
engine and the ignition have  been switched off. The coolant fan may, however, also 
switch on again after some time if the co olant temperature rises because of an accu-
mulation of heat in the engine or if the engine is warm and the engine compartment is 
additionally heated  by strong sunlight.
This is why particular care is required  when carrying out any work in the engine 
compartment  page 204, “Working in the engine compartment”.
Shifting (manual gearbox)
Shift into reverse only when the vehicle is  stationary. Depress the clutch pedal and hold 
it fully depressed. Wait a mo ment before engaging reverse gear in order to avoid any 
shift noises.
The reversing lights will come on once reverse gear is engaged, provided the ignition is 
on.
WARNING
Never engage the reverse gear when driving - risk of accident!
Note
One should not lay the hand on the shift lever while driving the vehicle. The pres-
sure of the hand will be transferred to the gearshift forks in the gearbox. This can, over 
a period of time, lead to early wear of the gearshift forks.
Depress the clutch pedal full y when changing gears, in order to avoid unnecessary 
wear and damage.

Releasing the handbrake
– Pull the handbrake lever up slightly and  at the same time press in the locking 
button  fig. 108.
– Hold the button pressed and push the handbrake lever down fully  .
The handbrake warning light 
 lights up when the handbrak e is applied, provided the 
ignition is on.
A warning signal sounds and the following text  appears in the display* if you have inad-
vertently driven off with  the handbrake applied:
Release parking brake!
The handbrake warning is acti vated if you drive at a speed of more than 6 km/h for 
more than 3 seconds.
WARNING
Please note that the handbrake must be fully released. A handbrake which 
is only partially released can result in  the rear brakes overheating which will 
have a negative effect on the operation of  the brake system - risk of accident! In 
addition this can result in premature wear of the rear brake pads.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. The children might, for 
example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The vehicle 
might then move off - risk of accident!Caution
After the car has come to a stop, always firs t of all apply the handbrake firmly before 
then additionally engaging a gear (manual gearbox) or moving the selector lever into 
position  P (automatic gearbox).
Rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warning of obstacles behind the vehicle.The audible parking aid determines the di stance between the rear bumper and an 
obstacle located behind the vehicle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The tones of 
the parking aid can be adapted in the menu of the information display*  page 26. 
The sensors are integrated in the rear bumper.
Range of sensors
The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 160 cm from the obstacle (area   
 fig. 109 ). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the clear-
ance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from  a distance of approx. 30 cm (area  ) - danger area. 
You should not reverse any further after this signal sounds! If the vehicle is 
equipped with a factory-fitted  towing device*, the border of the danger area starts - 
continuous tone - 5 cm further behind th e vehicle. The vehicle can be extended 
through an installed detachable towing device.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted  radio* or navigation system*, the distance 
to the obstruction is shown graphically in the  display. On vehicles with a factory-fitted 
towing device, the sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The driver is informed 
about this by a graphic display (vehicle towing a trailer) in the radio* or the navigation* 
display. The radio* or navigation system*, wh ich is factory-fitted, can be set so that the 
play function volume decreases when acti vating the parking aid, see Owner's Manual 
radio* or navigation system*. This improves the audibility of the parking aid.

Activating
The parking aid is activated when the  reverse gear is engaged and the ignition is 
turned on or by pressing the button  page 113, fig. 110  - the symbol   lights up in 
the button. The activation is confirmed by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating
The parking aid is deactivated after pressing the button°   page 113, fig. 110  or at 
a speed of more than 10 km/h - the symbol 
 in the button is no longer illuminated.
WARNING
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention and 
it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when reversing the vehicle or 
carrying out similar manoeuvres.
You should therefore satisfy yourself, befo re reversing, that there is no small 
obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your 
vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be  within the range detected by the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces  of certain objects and types of 
clothing cannot reflect the signal of  the parking aid. Thus, these objects or 
people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking 
aid.Note
Only the front parking aid operates if yo u are towing a trailer (applies only to 
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seco nds after activating the system and there 
is no obstacle close to your vehicle, this indicates a system fault. The fault is confirmed 
additionally when the symbol   flashes in the button  page 113, fig. 110 . Have the 
fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate 
properly.
If the parking aid is activated and the sele ctor lever of the automatic gearbox is in 
the position  , warning signal indicates inte rruption (vehicle can no longer move).
Park Assist*Description and important informationThe park assist assists you when parking in a suitable parallel parking space between 
two vehicles or behind a vehicle.
The park assist automatically searches for  suitable parking spaces after switching on 
the ignition and when driving up to 30 km/h.
During the parking procedure the park assist only takes over the steering movements, 
the pedals continue to be operated by the driver.
Function of the system is based on:
Length and depth measurement of the parking spaces when driving
Evaluation of the size of the parking space
Definition of the correct position of the vehicle for parking
Calculating the line on which the vehicle drives backwards into the parking space
Actuation of the steering force assistance, automatic spinning of the wheels of the 
front axle when parking.
WARNING
The park assist does not take away th e responsability from the driver when 
parking.
Pay particular attention to small children and animals as they would not be 
recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of 
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the park assist or the parking aid. Thus, 
these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the 
sensors of the parking aid.

Technical Data
The external sound source of the park  assist and the parking aid can be 
disruptively influenced and under unfavourable conditions, objects or people 
cannot be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.Caution
If other vehicles are parked  behind or on the kurb, the park assist guides your 
ve hicle be yond the kurb or onto it. Make s ure that the whee ls  or the whe el rims  of yo ur 
vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
You should satisfy yourself before parking that there is no small obstacle, such as a 
rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front  or behind your vehicle. Such an obstacle 
might not be within the range detected by the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or st ructures of certain objects such as wire 
mesh fences, powder snow etc..., ca nnot be recognised by the system.
The evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure depends on the 
circumference of the wheels. The system does not function correctly if your vehicle is 
mounted with wheels of non-permissible  size, snow chains or a temporary spare 
wheel (in order to reach the nearest workshop). If the tyres other than those excepted 
by the manufacturer are mounted, the resulting position of the vehicle in the parking 
space can differ slightly. The parking assistant system automatically performs the 
correction of the wheel circumference when driving.
The accuracy of the evaluation for the parking space can be influenced by the 
incorrectly determined outside temperature if  the later is influenced by the thermal 
radiation of the engine i.e for stop and go in a traffic jam.
In order to avoid damaging th e sensors while cleaning with high-pressure cleaners 
or steam jets, the sensors must only be  directly sprayed for short periods while a 
minimum distance of 10 cm must be observed.Note
A component of the park assist is the front and rear parking aid*.
The electronic stability programme (ESP*) must always be switched on for the 
parking procedure.
Only the front parking aid operates if you are towing a trailer (applies only to 
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*). This is why it is not possible to 
park backwards with the help of the  park assist when towing a trailer.
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate 
properly.
Switch on display of the park a ssist in the information display*Fig. 111  Switching on the park assist / inform ation display: Finding a suitable parking spaceSwitch on display of the park assist in the information display*– Press the button fig. 111 .
– Drive past the parking row up to maximum 30 km/h and with a distance of 0.5 m to  1.5 m  fig. 111 .
Operate the turn signal for the driver's side if you wish to park on this side of the road. 
In the information display* the search area  for the parking space is indicated on the

If you press the button at a speed greate r than 30 km/h and less than 50 km/h, the 
message indicating that the speed for detecting the space is exceeded will be 
displayed in the information display of the in strument cluster. If the speed drops below 
30 km/h, the condition of the parking assistant is automatically displayed in the infor-
mation display of the instrument cluster. When exceeding the speed of 50 km/h, it is 
required to activate the displa y again by pressing the button  fig. 111 .

If the park assist is switched on, a yellow warning light lights up in the button.
The search for suitable parking spaces is  automatic after switching on the ignition 
at speeds of more than 30 km/h. Searching for a parking space is performed at the 
same time on the driver and front passenger side.
If the sensors find a suitable parking space, they store its parameters until another 
suitable parking space has been found or until  a distance of 10 m had been driven after 
finding the parking space. This is why it is possible to switch on the park assist after 
driving past the parking space, the information on whether this parking space is suit-
able for parking appears in the information display*.
