© -Clean the windshield. To eliminate water droplets, the wind
shield wiper performs one afterwipe operation after several seconds
while driving. You can switch this function off by moving the lever to
posit ion© within 10 seconds of the afterwipe operation. The after
wipe function is reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on.
Cleaning the headlights*. The headlight washer system* only func
tions when the light is switched on. The headlights are automat ically
cleaned the first time and every fifth time the lever is moved to posi

& WARNING
• The rain sensor is only intended to assist the driver . The driver
is still responsible for manually switching the wipers on according
to the visibility conditions.
• The windshield may not be treated with water-repelling wind
shield coating agent s. Unfavorable conditions, such as wetness,
darkness, low sun, can result in increased glare. Wiper blade
chatter is also possible.
• Properly functioning windshield wiper blades are required for
a clear view and safe driving=>
page 71, "Replacing windshield
wiper blades" .
0 Note
• In the case of frost, check whether the windshield wiper blades are
frozen to the windshie ld . Switching on the windshield wipers can
damage the wiper blades!
• Prior to using a car wash, the windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0). This helps to prevent unintentional
switching on and damage to the windshield wiper system .
[I] Tips
• The w indshield wipe rs are switched off when the ignition is turned
off . Activate the windshield wipers after the ignition is switched back
on by mov ing the windshield w iper lever to any position.
• Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result in streaking. This can
affect the rain sensor* function. Check your windshie ld wiper blades
regularly.
• The washer fluid nozzles of the w indshield washer system are
heated at low temperatures when the ignition is on .
• When stopping temporar ily, e.g . at a traffic light, the set speed of
the windshield w ipers is automatically reduced by one speed .•
Service position

In recirculat ion mode, air is drawn from the vehicle interior, filtered
and recirculated. We recommend selecting recirculation mode under
the following conditions:
When driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam so that exhaust
fumes and odors cannot enter the vehicle interior .
& WARNING
You should not use the recirculation mode for an extended period
since no fresh air is drawn in. With the air-conditioning switched
off, the windows can fog up, which increases the risk of an

Economical use of the climate control
system
Economical use of the climate control system helps save
fuel.
When the climate control system is working in cooling mode,
engine performance is reduced and fuel consumption is
affected. To keep the time the climate control system is on as
short as possible, you should do the following :
- To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by pressing the [AC]
button (indicator light goes out).
- In addition, if you open the window while driving, turn off cooling mode by pressing the
[AC] button (indicator light
goes out).
- If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the heat of the sun,
briefly open doors and windows.
For the sake of the environment
When you save fuel, you reduce emissions from the vehicle. •

Automatic recirculation
An air quality sensor detects increased concentrations of
pollutants in the outside air and automatically switches
to recirculation mode.
The basic climate control settings can be adjusted in the
radio or
MMI*.
- Select: Function button [CAR]> Climate control switch.
We recommend that you always keep automatic recirculation ON to
prevent polluted outside ai r from entering the vehicle interior.
If the
air quality sensor located in the climate control system detects
polluted outside air, the sensor decides whether the air pollution can
be reduced by the factory-installed pollutant filter or whether it is
necessary to switch to recirculation . With heavy concentrations of
pollutants, the climate control system is switched automatically to
recirculation mode and the supply of outside air is blocked . As soon
as the concentration of pollutants in the outside air drops, fresh air is
supplied to the vehicle interior again.
In the event tha t the windows fog up during au tomatic recircula tion,
press the[@] button immediately.
Under certain operating conditions, automatic recirculation is
switched off automatically. When outside temperatures are below
about SO
°F ( + 10 °(), automatic recirculation is limited to
30 seconds. When outside temperatures are below about 30
°F (-

Select distance
The distance at which the adaptive cru ise control follows a vehicle in
front is determined by
time intervals . A time interval to a vehicle in
front is estab lished and maintained. This produces a speed-depen
dent interval. The higher the speed, the greater the safety interval in
yards (meters) ~

Th e distances provided are specified values. These distances may
exceed or fall short of these target distances, depending on the
driving situation and the driving style of the vehicle ahead.
Distance 1 ~-~ ---
Thi s sett ing is ideal for brisk driving i n bumper-to-bumper traffic. The
distance is one second. This is the equivalent of, for instance,

Distance 2 ,;::::,-- ~--
This setting is ideal for "keeping pace" comfortably in bumper-to

Distance 3 ~--- ~-
This setting is idea l for "keeping pace" in bumper-to-bumper traffic
