If the electrolyte fluid is swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a doctor. Seek medical assistance
immediately.

NOTICE
If the glass of an automatic anti-dazzle mirror is broken, electrolyte fluid can leak from the mirror.
This fluid corrodes plastic surfaces. Remove the fluid as soon as possible, e.g. using a wet sponge.

Heating and air conditioning system
Heating, ventilating, cooling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Front controls
Air recirculation mode
Seat heating
Steering wheel heating
Troubleshooting
The following systems may be installed in the vehicle
Both the manual air conditioning system and Climatronic heat, cool and dehumidify the air. It works
most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the vehicle
interior, ventilating the vehicle can speed up the cooling process.
Display of activated functions
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that the function is switched on.

WARNING
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause
serious injuries.
Keep all windows free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain good visibility.
Adjust the heating, air conditioning system and rear window heating so that condensation does not
form on the windows.
Only set off once all windows are clear.
Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. If the cooling system is switched off, condensation
can form on the windows very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.

WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can cause
collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
Never switch off the blower or switch on the air recirculation mode for an extended period as this
prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior.

NOTICE
Food, medicine and other items that are sensitive to heat or cold could be either damaged or
rendered useless by the air flowing out of the vents.
Never leave food, medicines or other temperature-sensitive objects in front of the vents.

NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working, switch the air conditioning system off immediately and
have it checked by a qualified workshop. This can help to prevent secondary damage.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes Personalisation

WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can cause
collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
Never use the air recirculation mode for an extended period as no fresh air will enter the vehicle
interior.
If the cooling system is switched off, condensation can form on the windows very quickly in air
recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.
Switch off the air recirculation mode when it is no longer required.

NOTICE
In vehicles with an air conditioning system, do not smoke when the air recirculation mode is
switched on. The smoke can leave a residue on the cooling system evaporator and the dust and
pollen filter with pollution filter insert, producing a lasting unpleasant odour.

When reversing the vehicle, or when the wash and wipe system is being used, the air recirculation
mode will switch on to prevent odours from entering the vehicle interior.
Climatronic

If the outside temperature is very high, the manual air recirculation mode can be activated for a
short time to help cool the vehicle interior more quickly.
Seat heating
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The seat cushions and backrests can be heated electrically when the engine is running.
Operating the seat heating
Press the or button in the air conditioning block in order to switch the seat heating to the
highest temperature setting.
Press the or button repeatedly until the desired setting is reached.
To switch the seat heating off, press the or button repeatedly until no LEDs are lit.

n within approximately 10 minutes, the most recent driver seat
temperature setting is automatically activated.
When should I not switch on the seat heating?
Do not switch on the seat heating if one of the following conditions applies:
The seat is not occupied.
The seat is fitted with a protective cover.
A child seat is installed on the seat.
The seat cushion is damp or wet.
The temperature in the vehicle interior or the outside temperature is above +25

Maximum heat output and the fastest possible defrosting of the windows are possible only when
the engine is running. Do not start your journey until you have good visibility.
To help ensure good visibility, make sure that you use the air conditioning system and the rear
window heating correctly.
Auxiliary heater and ventilation
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Switching the auxiliary heater and ventilation on and off
Programming the auxiliary heater and ventilation
Remote control
The auxiliary heater and ventilation system can be used to heat the vehicle interior in the winter and
ventilate it in the summer. It is able to clear ice, condensation and a thin layer of snow from the
windscreen. The auxiliary heater is supplied with fuel from the vehicle fuel tank and can be operated
when the vehicle is stationary with the ignition switched off. The auxiliary ventilation system is
powered by the 12-volt vehicle battery.
Auxiliary heater exhaust system
The emissions generated by the auxiliary heater are discharged via an exhaust pipe underneath the
vehicle. The exhaust pipe must not be blocked by snow, mud or other objects.

WARNING
Among other things, the emissions from the auxiliary heater contain carbon monoxide, which is an
odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness. It
can also cause death.
Never switch on the auxiliary heater when the vehicle is in unventilated or closed rooms nor let the
auxiliary heater run in unventilated or closed rooms.
Never program the auxiliary heater so that it is switched on and runs in unventilated or closed
rooms.

WARNING
Parts of the auxiliary heater exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires.
Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable
material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass.

Food, medicine and other items that are sensitive to heat or cold could be either damaged or
rendered useless by the air flowing out of the vents.
Never leave food, medicines or other temperature-sensitive objects in front of the vents.
Switching the auxiliary heater and ventilation on and off
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The auxiliary heater can be operated only when the ignition is switched off. If the ignition is switched
on while the auxiliary heater is working, the auxiliary heater continues to run to provide additional
heat.
Switching on the auxiliary heater
Press the immediate heat button in the air conditioning block Front controls
OR: press the button on the remote control Remote control
OR: program the departure time Programming the auxiliary heater and ventilation
The auxiliary heater heats the vehicle interior to at least 22
The auxiliary heater will not switch on if the 12-volt vehicle battery is low or the fuel tank is empty.
Switching off the auxiliary heater manually
Press the immediate heat button in the air conditioning block Front controls
OR: press the button on the remote control Remote control
OR: touch the function button on the Infotainment system Programming the auxiliary heater
Auxiliary heater switches off automatically
When the programmed departure time is reached, or after the programmed operating period has
elapsed Programming the auxiliary heater and ventilation
When the indicator lamp lights up (fuel gauge) Fuel gauge
If the charge level of the 12-volt vehicle battery is too low 12-volt vehicle battery
The auxiliary heater runs on for a short time after it has been switched off manually or automatically
so that the remaining fuel in the system can be burnt off.

When the vehicle is at a standstill, the auxiliary heater can be activated up to three times in
succession for the maximum operating duration.
