@ Tips
-Switching off the dimming function of
the inside rear view mirror also deact i­
vates the automatic dimming f unction of
the exterior m irrors.
- The automatic dimming mirrors do not
dim when the interior lighting is turned
on or the reverse gear is selected .
-Automat ic dimming for the m irror only
operates properly if the light striking the inside mirror is not hindered in any way.

Wiper and washer system
Windshield wiper
The windshield wiper lever controls both the
windshield wipers and the washer system .
Fig. 62 Wiper lever: wind shi eld w iper lever pos it ions
T he windshield wiper lever i=:> fig. 62 has the
following positions:
Intermittent wiping ~l (activating rain
sensor)*
.. Move the lever up to position (D.
.. Move the interval set switch @, to change
the intervals.
Low wiper speed
.. Move the lever up to position @.
High wiper speed
.. Move the lever up to posit ion @.
One-touch wiping
.. Move the lever to position @, when you
want to wipe the windshield
briefly.
Automatic wiper/washer
.. Pull the lever to position ® (to ward the
steering whee l) and hold .
.. Release the lever . The washer stops and the
w ipers keep going for about four seconds.
Turning off the wipers
.. Move the lever back to position @ .
The windshield w ipers and washer only work
when the ignition is turned on. If you switch
off the igni tion with the windshie ld wipe r lev­
er still in the interval wipe position and then
come back a while later and drive off, the ra in
sensor will reactivate itself after the vehicle
speed has exceeded 4 mph (6 km/h).
Th e rai n sensor* is only activated with the
wiper lever set to position
(D. When it starts
to rain, the rain senso r will a utomat ically acti­
vate the intermittent wiping mode .
To reduce the sensitivity of the sensor, move
swi tch @ down. To increase the sensitivity,
move the switc h up. The higher you adjust the
sensitivity, the faster the sensor will react
when it senses moisture on the windshield.
The pauses between wiper turns depend not
only on the sensitivity setting, but on the ve-
hicle speed as well. ..,.

-To help prevent damage to the wiper
arms or oth er components, do not at­
tempt to move the wipers by hand.
@ Tips
- Commercial hot waxes applied by auto­
matic car washes aff ect the cleanability
of the glass surface .
- The front wiper blades are different
lengths; the blade on the driver's side is
longer .

The air conditioning automatically maintains the selected temperature in the vehicle interior
throughout each season .
Fig. 78 Climate contro ls
We recommend the following sett ing :
• Rotate the knob
c::> fig. 78 @ to the right to
switch on the air conditioning .
• Set the temperature to 72 °F (22 °() .
• Press the
!AUTO I c::> fig . 78 button .
Using the previously recommended setting is
the quickest way to achieve a comfortable cli ­
mate in the vehicle . Th is setting should there­
fore only be changed when persona l comfort
l eve ls o r certain circumstances requ ire it .
The climate controls are a combination of au ­
tomatic heating and ventilation systems and a
coo ling system which dehum idifies and coo ls
the air inside the vehicle .
The climate controls automatically maintain a temperature once it has been set. The tem­pe rat ure of the air from the v ents, fan speed
(air vo lume) and ai r distribu tion are also auto ­
mat ica lly adjusted . The system also takes into
account strong sunshine so that manua l ad ­
justment is not necessary . So in almost all
cases,
a utomatic mode offers the best cond i­
tions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year
c::> page 70 .
Plea se note:
In cooling mode, relative humidity in the inte­
rior is reduced . This prevents the w indows
from fogg ing up .
When relative hum idity and temperatures
outside are high,
condensation can drip from
the a ir cond ition ing evaporator and form a
poo l of water under the veh icle. This is normal
and not an ind ication of a leak!
When outside temperatures are low, the fan
does not switch to a higher speed until the coolant has reached an adequate tempera ­
tu re , with the exception of the defrost set­
t ing.
When accelerating at wide-open throttle, the
air condit ioning compressor is temporar ily
switched off to maintain full engine power.
In order to ensure engine cooling under ex­
treme engine loads, the compressor is switch­
ed off if coolant temperatures cl imb too high .
Funct ions are set by turn ing the rotary knob
or switched o n and off by tapp ing the buttons.

tions:
When driving through a tunnel or in a traff ic
jam so that exhaust fumes and odors cannot
enter the vehicle interior.
A WARNING
You shou ld not use the recirculation mode
for an extended period since no fresh air is
drawn in, and with the air condit ioning
switched off the windows can fog up - this
i ncreases the r isk of an accident!

7 4 On the road
@ For the sake of the environment
To avoid unnecessary engine wear and to reduce exhaust emissions, do not let your
veh icle stand and warm up. Be ready to
drive off immediately after start ing your
veh icle. Maintain moderate speed until the
engine is comp letely warm. Remember,
the engine performs best at operating
temperature.
Stopping the engine
• Turn the ign ition key to position@
~ page 72, fig. 81.
&_ WARNING
-Never turn off the engine before the ve­
hicle has come to a complete stop. The
full function of the brake booster and the
power steering is not guaranteed. You
must use more force to turn or brake if
necessary. Because you cannot steer and
brake as you usually would, this could
lead to crashes and serious injuries.
- The radiator fan can continue to run for
up to 10 minutes even after you have
turned off the engine and removed the
ignition key . The radiator fan can also
turn on again if the engine coolant heats up because of intense sunlight or heat
build-up in the engine compartment.
(D Note
Do not stop the engine immediate ly after
hard or extended driving. Keep the engine
running for approximately two minutes to
prevent excessive heat build-up.
