Please note that vehic le interior temperature cannot be lower than
t he outside temperature in the ECON mode. The air is not cooled or
dehumidified. This can cause the windows to fog up.
[ i J Tip s
With the ignition turned off, you can activate the residual heat func­

[ECON ON/OFF] button . The residual heat from
the coolant can be used to heat the vehicle interior. •
Automatic mode [AUTO)
The automatic mode is the standard setting for all
seasons.
Turning on AUTO
Select temperature between 60 °F (+16 °C) and 84 °F
(+28 °C).
P ress [ AUTO I => page 125, fig . 135.
Automatic operation ensures constant temperatures in the interior
and dehumidifies the air inside the vehicle. Air temperature, vo lume
and distribution are contro lled automatica lly to reach or maintain
the desired inter ior temperature as quickly as possible. Fluctuations
in exterior temperature and the effects of temperature from the
pos ition o f the sun are compensated for automatica lly.
T his operating mode works only in the adjustable temperature
r ange, from 60 °F (+ 16 °C) to 84 °F (+28 °C). If a temperature below
60 °F
( + 16 °C) is selected, LO appears in the disp lay. At temperatures
above 84 °F ( +28 °C),
HI is d isplayed . At both extreme settings,
climate contro l runs continuously at maximum cooling or heating
power. There is no temperature regu lation .•

Warm and cold -
-------------------'
- To adjust the direction o f the airflow from the o utlet,
move the tab in the cen ter of the o utlet in the desired
direction . The direction of the air delivered from the
vents can be adjusted hor izontally and vertically .
The air outlets are actuated either automatically or manually
depending on the operating mode selected . Heated or unheated
fresh air, or cooled air flows from the vents .
The air outlets to heat the rear footwell are located under the front seats.
[ i ) Tip s
If the climate control system is operating in cooling mode, air flows
primarily from the outlets in the center console and in the door
pillars . To achieve adequate cooling, you should never close the
out lets completely .•
Using climate control economically
Using the climate controls prudently can help save fuel.
When you use the a ir conditioner, engine power is reduced
and fuel consumption increases. To save fuel, you should
use the air conditioner only when necessary . A lso please
note the follow ing po ints:
- If you want to save fuel, activate ECON.
- If yo u are g oing to dr ive wit h the w indows or Panorami c
sliding sunroof* open, use ECON .
- If the ve hicle is e xtremely ho t due to the heat of t he s un,
br iefly open doors and windows .

& WARNING
• Never turn off the engine until the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
• The brake booster and servotronic only work when the engine
is running. With the ignition turned off, you have to apply more
force when steering or braking. Since you cannot steer and stop
normally, this can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
• For safety reasons, you should always park your vehicle with
the selector lever in P. Otherwise, the vehicle could inadvertently roll away.
• After the engine has been switched off, the radiator fan can
continue to run for up to 10 minutes -even with the ignition
switched off. It can also switch on again after some time if the
coolant temperature rises as the result of a heat buildup or if the
engine is hot and the engine compartment is additionally heated
by the sun's rays.
0 Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for an extended period,
heat builds up in the engine compartment after the engine is
switched off -there is a risk of damaging the engine. Allow the
engine to run at idle for about 2 minutes before switching it off. •

The engine can only be started with the selector in these positions.
? Key not in vehicle
This message appears along with the symbol if the master key is
removed from the vehicle with the engine running. It is intended to
remind you (e.g. when changing drivers) not to continue the journey
without the master key.
If the master key is no longer in the vehicle, you cannot switch off
the ignition after stopping the engine and you also cannot start the engine again. Moreover, you cannot lock the vehicle from the
