quired depending on visibility.
- Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as light
rain,
low sun or when driving at

dazzle, which is a serious safety hazard.
Such coatings can aLso cause the wiper
blades to judder.
- Poor visibility can cause accidents. Always
ensure that the wiper blades are in good

Heating system/air
conditioner
Description
One of the following systems may be fitted, de­
pending on the equipment in your vehicle:
- Heating and ventilation system or
- Manual air conditioner* or
- Automatic air conditioner* (deluxe version)
The heating and ventilation system* heats and
ventilates the vehicle interior. The air condition­
er* additionally cools and dehumidifies the air in­
side the vehicle. It operates most effectively with
the windows and the panorama sun roof* closed.
If the vehicle has been standing in the sun, it may
cool down faster if
you
open the windows briefly
to let the hot air escape.
Pollution filter
The pollution filter removes impurities, such as
dust and pollen, from the air.
Key-coded settings
Various settings are stored and assigned to the
remote control key in use.
Default settings
Default settings for certain functions can be se­
lected on the infotainment system.

Supplementary heater*
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The vehicle interior warms up more quickly with
the supplementary heater. The system automati­
cally switches the supplementary heater on
tem­

porarily as required, depending on the setting on
the vehicle heating system.
The supplementary heater function can be
switched on or off as required. SeLect the follow­

- Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, ice and Leaves to
ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and
to prevent the windows misting over.
- Condensation can drip off the air cooling

system*
and form a pool underneath the ve­

hicle.
This is normal and does not indicate a
leak.
- If
you
notice, for instance, that the seat* or
rear window heating is not working, it may
have been temporarily switched off by the
power management function. These sys­
tems will be available again as soon as

Defroster
The windscreen and side windows are defrosted
or demisted as quickly as possible. The air output
is increased to maximum and most of the air
comes out of the outlets below the windscreen.
The air recirculation mode is deactivated. The
temperature should be set to 22 °C or higher.
The temperature is regulated automatically. At

the A/C cooling mode is automatically
activated depending on the ambient tempera­

Air recirculation mode
The air recirculation mode can be switched on
manually or automatically*.
- To switch the manual air recirculation mode
on/off, press the

button.
-The automatic* air recirculation function must
be activated on the infotainment system. Se­
lect the following on the infotainment system:

|MENU|

> Auto recirculation. The air quality sensor,
which is designed for the detection of diesel
and petrol exhaust fumes, automatically
switches the air recirculation mode on or off
depending on the
level
of pollution in the out­
side air.
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interi­
or of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the in­
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir­
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or
in traffic queues

cold,
the air conditioner will auto­

the vehicle is reversing.

Rear window heating
If the rear window heating is activated with the
ignition switched on, the battery management
determines whether or not the battery charge
level is sufficient for the rear window heating to
be switched on. Otherwise the rear window heat­
ing operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about
10 - 20 minutes, depending on the outside
tem­

perature.
To switch on the rear window heating perma­
nently, press and hold the
S
button for at least
2 seconds. This setting will be stored for approxi­
mately 15 minutes after the ignition is switched

off.

Seat heating*
When you press the
«r
button, the seat heating is
switched on at level 3 (the highest level). The
LEDs indicate the temperature level. To reduce
the temperature, press the button again. To
switch off the seat heating, press the button re­
peatedly until all the LEDs have gone out.
The seat heating automatically switches from
level 3 to level 2 after about 10 minutes.
A WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave
the air recirculation switched on for too

long.
This mode prevents fresh air from en­
tering the vehicle, so the windows can mist
