Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system becomes active
when the driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and re‐
leases the locks on the following:
▷Doors.▷Tailgate.▷Fuel filler flap.Operating from the outside▷Via the remote control.▷Via the driver's door lock*.▷Via the door handles of the driver's and front
passenger doors*.▷Via the button on the tailgate*.
The following takes place simultaneously when
locking/unlocking the vehicle via the remote
control:
▷Anti-theft protection is switched on/off.
Doors cannot be unlocked using the lock
buttons or the door opener.▷The welcome lamps, interior lamps and
courtesy lamps* are switched on and off.▷The alarm system*, refer to page 42, is
armed or disarmed.
Operating from the inside
Via the button for the central locking system.
If the vehicle has been locked from inside, the
fuel filler flap remains unlocked.
If an accident of a certain severity occurs, the
central locking system unlocks automatically.
The hazard warning system and interior lamps
come on.

Air volume, air distribution, and temperature are
controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature and
outside influences, the air is directed to the
windshield, side windows, upper body, and into
the footwell.
The cooling function, refer to page 102, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO pro‐
gram.
Recirculated-air mode
You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
Press the button repeatedly to select
an operating mode:▷LED off: outside air flows in continuously.▷LED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply of
outside air into the vehicle is permanently
blocked.
If the windows fog over, switch off recircu‐
lated-air mode and increase the air volume,
if necessary.
Continuous recirculated-air mode
The recirculated-air mode should not be
used for an extended period of time, as the air
quality inside the vehicle deteriorates steadily. ◀
Temperature Turn the wheel to set the desired
temperature.
The automatic climate control achieves this
temperature as quickly as possible, if necessary
with the maximum cooling or heating capacity,
and then keeps it constant.
Avoid rapidly switching between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate control
will not have sufficient time to adjust the set
temperature.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
Press the button.
Ice and condensation are quickly re‐
moved from the windshield and the front side
windows.
The air volume can be adjusted when the pro‐
gram is active.
If the windows fog over, also switch on the cool‐
ing function.
Cooling function
The passenger compartment can only be
cooled with the engine running.
Press the button.
The air is cooled and dehumidified and
– depending on the temperature setting –
warmed again.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water, refer to page 122, develops
that exits underneath the vehicle.
Rear window defroster Press the button.
The rear window defroster switches off
automatically after a certain period of time.
Switching the system on/off
Switching off
Turn the rotary switch for the air volume, refer to
page 101, to 0. The blower and automatic cli‐
mate control are switched off entirely.
Switching on
Set any air volume.
The AUTO program can also be switched on di‐
rectly via the AUTO button.Seite 102102

0 ℃.▷When the engine is running.
The air volume can be adjusted when the pro‐
gram is active.
AUTO program Press the button.
Air volume, air distribution, and tem‐
perature are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity, and outside influences, the air is di‐
rected to the windshield, side windows, upper
body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function, refer to page 105, is

an operating mode:▷LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.▷Left LED on, automatic recirculated-air con‐
trol: a sensor detects pollutants in the out‐
side air and controls the shut-off automati‐
cally.▷Right LED on, recirculated-air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked.Seite 104104
