Sun visors should always be f olded away
and sun blinds should always be retrac-
ted if they are not being used. In certain circumstances, the lamp
abo

ve the sun visor will go out auto-
matically after a few minutes. This prevents
the 12-volt battery from discharging. Sun blind in the glass roof

WARNING
Closing the sun blind without the roll-back
function can cause serious injuries.
x Always close the sun blind carefully.
x Ensure that nobody obstructs the path
of the sun blind, especially if the roll-
back function is not activ
e when it is
closed.
x The roll-back function does not prevent
fingers or other body parts from being
pressed against the roof frame and sus-
taining injury. Introduction to the topic
The Climatronic is an automatic air condi-
tioning system that heats, cools and dehu-
midifies the air. Automatic mode enables the
Climatronic to control the air temperature, air
distribution and air v

olume automatically.
The air conditioning system will work most
effectively if the vehicle interior is kept
closed. Opening the windows and glass roof
to provide fresh air may accelerate cooling
down the vehicle if high temperatures have
built up in the vehicle interior.
Display of active functions
Illuminated symbols on the sensor buttons
indicate that the function is switched on.
Colour-coded function buttons display an ac-
tivated function in the climate settings on
the Infotainment system.
Operating the air conditioning system with
voice commands
Depending on the vehicle equipment, some
functions of the air conditioning system can
be operated with the voice control function

WARNING
Poor visibility through the door windows,
windscreen and rear window increases the
risk of collisions and accidents which can
cause serious injuries.
x Keep all door windows, the windscreen
and the rear window free from ice, snow
and condensation to maintain perf
ect
visibility.
x Adjust the heating, air conditioning and
rear window heating to prevent conden-
sation from forming on the windows.
x Only set off once all windows are clear.
x Use air recirculation mode for a short
period only. Condensation could other-
wise form very quickly on the windows,
greatly reducing visibility.
x Switch off the air recirculation mode
when it is no longer required. NOTICE
Food, medicine and other items that are sen-
sitiv
e to heat or cold could be either dam-
aged or rendered useless by the air flowing
out of the vents.
x Never leave food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects in front of the
vents. NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working,
switch the air conditioning system off imme-
diately and ha

ve it checked by a qualified
workshop. This can help to prevent secondary
damage. Overview of functions

do not kneel on the seats and do not apply
sharp pressure at a single point to the seat

.
Windscreen heating using the defrost func-
tion
The windscreen heating will be switched on
when the defrost function is switched on and
a sensor detects that condensation may form
on the windscreen.
When does the windscreen heating switch
off?
The windscreen heating switches itself off if
one of the following conditions is met:

Water or water vapour under the vehicle
If the humidity and temperature outside the
v
ehicle are high, condensation can drip off
the evaporator in the cooling system and
form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak.
If the outside humidity is high and the out-
side temperature low, condensation may
evaporate through the stationary air condi-
tioning when it is running. If this is the case,
steam may appear underneath the vehicle.
This is not a sign that the vehicle is damaged.
Touch panels react differently than expected
Moisture, dirt and grease can impede the
functioning of the touch panels.
