Air conditioning functions in detailSwitching system on/off
Switching on
Press any key, except▷Heated rear window.▷Seat heating
Switching off
In the lowest setting, press the left of
the button.
Temperature Turn the wheel to select the de‐
sired temperature.
The automatic air conditioning sets this tem‐ perature as quickly as possible, using higher
cooling or heating power if necessary. The
temperature is then maintained.
Avoid switching between different temperature
settings in rapid succession. The automatic air
conditioning will not then have sufficient time
to establish the temperature selected.
Cooling function
The interior can only be cooled when the en‐
gine is running.
Press the button.
Air is cooled and dried, then reheated
to suit the temperature setting.
Depending on weather conditions, the wind‐
screen and side windows may mist over mo‐
mentarily when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally in the AUTO program.
When using the automatic air conditioning,
condensation water, see page 165, develops
that exits underneath the vehicle.
Maximum cooling effect Press the button.
System is set to lowest temperature,
optimum air flow and recirculated-air mode.
The air flows from the outlets for the upper
body area. Therefore open the ventilation vents.
The function is available through an outside
temperature of approximately 0 ℃/32 ℉ and
with the engine running.
The air flow can be adapted when the program
is active.
AUTO program Press the button.
The air flow, air distribution and tem‐
perature are automatically regulated.
Depending on the selected temperature, inten‐
sity AUTO program and external influences,
the air is directed towards the windscreen, side
windows, upper body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function, see page 145, is
switched on automatically in the AUTO pro‐
gram.
A condensation sensor also controls the pro‐
gram so that condensation is avoided as much
as possible.
Intensity of AUTO program
When AUTO program is switched on, auto‐
matic control of the intensity can be changed.
Pressing the button on the left or right
reduces or increases intensity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
for automatic air conditioning.Seite 145ClimateControls145

Automatic air recirculation control,
AUC/recirculated-air mode
If the air outside the vehicle has an unpleasant
odour or contains pollutants, the supply to the
interior of the vehicle can be shut off. The air
inside the vehicle is then recirculated.
Press button repeatedly to call up an
operating mode:▷LEDs off: ambient air is constantly entering
the car.▷Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air and
shuts it out automatically.▷Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the ambient air supply is permanently shut
off.
The recirculated-air mode automatically
switches off at low outside temperatures after
a given time, to avoid condensation.
Continuous recirculated-air mode deteriorates
the air quality in the interior and condensation
on the windows increases.
If there is condensation on the window, switch
off recirculated-air mode and press the AUTO
button to use the condensation sensor. Ensure
that air can flow towards the windscreen.
Adjusting the air flow manually To be able to adjust the air flow manually, first
switch off the AUTO program.
Pressing the button on the left or right
reduces or increases the air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the display
for automatic air conditioning.
In order to protect the battery the air flow rate
of the automatic air conditioning is reduced, if
necessary.
Adjusting the air distribution manually Press button repeatedly to select a
program:
▷Upper body area.▷Upper body area and footwell.▷Footwell.▷Windows and footwell: only on the driver's
side.▷Windows, upper body area and footwell:
only on the driver's side.
If there is condensation on the window, press
the AUTO button in order to use the conden‐
sation sensor.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
Press the button.
This removes ice and condensation
quickly from the windscreen and the front side
windows.
To do this, point the side nozzles at the side
windows if necessary.
The air flow can be adapted when the program
is active.
If there is condensation on the window, switch
on the cooling function as well or press the AUTO button to use the condensation sensor.
Heated rear window Press the button.
The heated rear window is switched
off automatically after a certain period of time.
Microfilter/activated charcoal filter
In outside and recirculated-air mode, the mi‐
crofilter/activated carbon filter filters dust, pol‐ len and harmful gases from the air.
This filter should be changed during mainte‐
nance on your vehicle, see page 191.

Independent ventilation
Principle The independent ventilation system ventilates
the passenger compartment and lowers its
temperature under some circumstances.
The system can be switched on and off at any
ambient temperature either directly or via two
preselected switch-on times. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Open the ventilation vents so the air can flow
out.

1.Remove the cover from the right-hand trim
panel. To do this, turn the cap.2.Pull the green tag with the fuel pump sym‐
bol. Fuel filler flap is unlocked.
Note when refuelling
ATTENTION
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive.
Overfilling the fuel tank can damage the fuel
system. If it comes into contact with painted
surfaces, it can damage them. This pollutes
the environment. Danger of damage to prop‐
erty. Avoid overfilling.◀
When refuelling, insert the filler nozzle fully into
the filler neck. Lifting the filler nozzle during re‐
fuelling results in the following:
▷The fuel supply being cut off prematurely.▷Fuel vapour and fumes being fed back less
effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle cuts
out for the first time.
Comply with the safety regulations displayed
at filling stations.

Wheels and tyresVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is

Tyre pressures Information for your safety
A tyre’s condition and pressure influence the
following:▷Operating life of the tyre.▷Driving safety.▷Driving comfort.
Checking tyre pressures
WARNING
A tyre with inadequate or missing tyre in‐
flation pressure impairs driving properties, for example steering and braking. Danger of acci‐
dents. Check tyre inflation pressure regularly
and adjust as necessary, for example twice a
month or before any long journey.◀
Tyres have a natural, uniform tyre pressure
loss.
Tyres heat up when driving and with the tem‐
perature of the tyre, the tyre filling pressure in‐
creases. The tyre filling pressure data relate to
cold tyres or tyres at ambient temperature.
Only check the tyre pressure when the tyres
are cold. In other words, after driving for a max‐
imum of 2 km or if the vehicle has been parked
for at least 2 hours.
Inflating devices can display a pressure as
much as 0.1 bar too low.
With runflat indicator: reinitialise the runflat in‐
dicator after adjusting tyre pressures.
With tyre pressure monitor: reset the tyre pres‐
sure monitor after adjusting the tyre pressure
to a new value.
Tyre inflation pressures
The tyre inflation pressures for the tyre sizes
categorised by the vehicle manufacturer as
suitable for the respective vehicle type can be
found on the door pillar of the driver's door.
If the speed letter of the tyre cannot be found,
the tyre inflation pressure of the corresponding
size applies. The tyre inflation pressure data
apply to tyres at ambient temperature.
For Australia/New Zealand WARNING
The inflation pressures on the tyre label
are applicable only for tyres explicitly men‐
tioned on the label. Since inflation pressures
for tyres that may be covered by the label – by
size, speed category and load rating/load index
– but not explicitly mentioned on the label may
be different. Please obtain adequate inflation
pressures in accordance with the tyre manu‐
facturer's specifications at your tyre dealer.◀
