Emergency release for ignition key
In the event of a malfunction in the vehicle's electrical
system, it may no longer be possible to remove the igni-
tion key.If you are not able to remove the ignition key because the
vehicle battery has discharged (for example), remove the
key as follows:
– Press the release catch ⇒fig. 32 using a ball-point
pen or a similar object and pull the emergency key out
of the remote control key.
– Use the emergency key to lock the vehicle ⇒page 45.
– Have the vehicle's electrical system checked by a quali-
fied workshop.
Starting the vehicle with the spare key– Open the glove box and take out the adapter for the spare
key ⇒fig. 33 -arrow-.

Technical data door is unlocked. The remote control key has to be within a range of
about 1.5 metres of the relevant door or the boot lid. It does not
matter where you carry the key, for instance whether it is in your
jacket pocket or in a briefcase.
The unlocking function may be affected if the sensor area on the
door handle is touched while the vehicle is being unlocked.
The locking function may be affected if you grasp the door handle
while the vehicle is being locked.
Once the doors have been locked, they cannot be opened again
immediately. This will enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
The system will either unlock both the doors or one door only,
depending on the settings you have chosen on the sound system or
MMI* ⇒page 43.
WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked
from the outside and the deadlock mechanism is activated: the
doors and windows cannot then be opened from the inside.
Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially
putting lives at risk.
Note
Please note the following points if the vehicle is left parked for long
periods:•
To save electrical power, the proximity sensors are switched off
after a few days. You will then need to pull the door handle once to
unlock the vehicle, and a second time to open it.
•
To prevent the battery from becoming discharged and thus
maintain the vehicle's starting ability for as long as possible, the
power management system will gradually switch off convenience
functions that are not required. In this case you may not be able to
unlock the vehicle with this convenience function.
Locking and unlocking the vehicle using the key
If the central locking system should fail to work, you can
still lock and unlock the driver's door by turning the emer-
gency key or spare key in the lock.Unlocking
– Turn the key to position ⇒fig. 38 to unlock the
vehicle.
Locking
–Turn the key once to position ⇒ to lock the vehicle.
– If you turn the key to position a second time within 2
seconds, this will lock the vehicle without activating the
deadlock mechanism.In order to switch off the anti-theft alarm*, you must switch on the
ignition within 15 seconds after opening the driver's door. Other-
wise the alarm will be triggered.

will operate only when the ignition is switched on. Improper use
of the electrical sockets or the appliances connected to them can
cause injuries or fire. To avoid the risk of injury, never leave chil-
dren unsupervised in the vehicle with the key.Caution
Always use the correct type of plugs to avoid damaging the sockets.

Heating and coolingDeluxe automatic air conditionerApplies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic air conditionerDescription
The air conditioner can be used to set a comfortable inte-
rior temperature in the vehicle.The air conditioner provides heating and ventilation and also cools
and dehumidifies the air inside the vehicle.
The air conditioner is fully automatic and will maintain the desired
temperature at a constant level. To achieve this, the temperature of
the air supplied to the interior, the blower speed (volume of air
delivery) and the air distribution are regulated automatically. The
system also allows for the effect of strong sunlight, so there is no
need for manual adjustment. For these reasons it is advisable to use
the automatic mode for the comfort of all the passengers in virtually
all conditions throughout the year ⇒page 93.
Please note:
The humidity of the air is automatically reduced when the system
cools the interior of the vehicle. This helps to prevent condensation
on the windows.
If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high,
condensation can drip off the evaporator in the air cooling system
and form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does not
indicate a leak.
If the outside temperature is low, the blower normally only switches
to a higher speed once the coolant has warmed up sufficiently (this
does not apply to the defrost setting).
In order to achieve maximum engine power, the air conditioner
compressor is temporarily switched off when pulling away from a
standstill with full throttle.The compressor also switches off if the coolant temperature is
excessively high, to ensure adequate engine cooling under extreme
loads.
Pollution filter
The pollution filter (a particle filter) serves as a barrier against impu-
rities in the outside air, including dust and pollen, and odours. The
air is also filtered when the air recirculation mode is activated.
For the air conditioner to work with maximum efficiency, the pollu-
tion filter element must be replaced at the intervals specified in the
Service Schedule.
If the vehicle is driven in areas with a high level of air pollution and
the filter is no longer fully effective, it may be necessary to change
the filter element more frequently.
Key-coded settings
The currently selected air conditioner settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key.
Power management
To prevent the battery from becoming discharged and to maintain
the necessary power level, the system will temporarily shut off the
electrical components that are using a lot of power, or reduce the
current they are consuming ⇒page 192. Heating systems in partic-
ular use a large amount of electrical power. If you notice, for
instance, that the rear window heater is not working, it may have
been temporarily switched off by the power management function,
or regulated to a lower heat output. These systems will be available
again as soon as sufficient electrical power is available.

WARNING
For safety reasons it is important that all the windows are kept
free of ice, snow and condensation. These can cause poor visibility
and lead to an accident. Please familiarise yourself with the oper-
ating controls for the air conditioner, including the demist/defrost
functions for the windows.
Caution
•
If you suspect that the air conditioner is damaged, switch it off
to prevent further damage and have the system checked by a quali-
fied workshop.
•
Repairs to the air conditioning system require specialist knowl-
edge and special tools. For this reason, please contact a qualified
workshop if the system is not working properly.Note
•
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.
•
The air from the outlets flows through the passenger compart-
ment and out through the slots at the rear of the vehicle. Do not
cover these slots with clothing or other objects.
•
The air conditioner operates most effectively with the windows
and the tilting panorama roof* closed. However, if the vehicle has
heated up after standing in the sun for some time, the air inside can
be cooled more quickly by opening the windows for a short time.
