Using climate control economically
Using the climate controls prudently can hel p save fuel.
When you use the air condi tioner, engine power is reduced
and fuel c onsum ption increases. T o save fuel, you should
use the a ir condit io ner onl y when necessa ry. Also please
note the fo llow ing po ints:
If you want to save fuel, activate ECON.
- If you are going to drive with the windows open, use
ECO N.
- If the ve hicle is ext remely hot due to the heat of the sun,
brie fly open doors and windows.
'£> For the sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of fuel you use, you a lso reduce the amount
of pollutants emitted into the a ir. •

-Warm
and cold --------------------
ECON
The ECON mode helps to save fuel.
The air conditioning is turned off in ECON mode. "ECON" means
"Economy". By switching off the air conditioning (compressor), you
save fuel.
Please note that vehicle interior temperature cannot be lower than
the outside temperature in the ECON mode. The air is not cooled or dehumidified.
If the vehicle interior becomes too hot or if the windows fog up,
ECON mode should be turned off. As soon as the
jAUTO I button in
the air conditioning controls is pressed, the system automatically leaves the ECON mode, and the air conditioning compressor is
turned on again. •
Automatic recirculation mode
An air quality sensor detects increased concentrations of
pollutants in the outside air and automatically switches
to recirculation mode.
We recommend that you always keep automatic air recirculation ON
to prevent polluted outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
If the
air quality sensor located in the air conditioning 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 air recirculation. With heavy concentrations of pollutants, the air conditioning 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 that the windows fog up during automatic air recircula ­
tion, you must press the® button immediately. Under certain operating conditions, automatic air recirculation is
switched off automatically. With outside temperatures below about
+ 10
°C, automatic air recirculation is limited to 30 seconds. With
outside temperatures below about -1 °C and in the ECON mode,
automatic air recirculation is limited to 15 seconds. •
Synchronization
One climate control setting for the passenger's and
driver's seats.
After Synchronization is set to on, all of the subsequent climate
control settings (except for seat heating*) for the driver are trans ­
ferred to the front passenger.
Synchronization is canceled when settings are adjusted on the front passenger's side. •
Center air vent
The temperature of the air leaving the center vents can be
changed to differ from the temperature setting.
Fig. 113 Display:
Center air vent
The air flow coming from the center vents can be adjusted to be
colder or warmer than the selected set temperature.

to help reduce the risk of personal injury if the driver's airbag
inflates.
• Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with
your hands at other positions inside the steering wheel rim or on
the steering wheel hub . Holding the steering wheel the wrong way
can cause serious injuries to the hands, arms and head if the
driver's airbag deploys .
• Pointing the steering wheel toward your face decreases the
ability of the supplemental driver's airbag to protect you in a colli­
sion.
• Always sit in an upright position and never lean against or
place any part of your body too close to the area where the airbags
are located .
• Before driving, always adjust the front seats and head
restraints properly and make sure that all passengers are properly
restrained.
• Never adjust the seats while the vehicle is moving. Your seat
may move unexpectedly and you could lose control of the vehicle. • Never drive with the backrest reclined or tilted far back! The
farther the backrests are tilted back, the greater the risk of injury
due to incorrect positioning of the safety belt and improper
seating position.
