Switching on automaticallyEngage reverse gear with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
Switching off automatically when
driving forward
The system switches off when a certain dis‐
tance or speed is exceeded.
Switch on the system again if necessary.
Signal tones When approaching an object, an intermittent
tone is sounded that indicates the position of
the object. For example, if an object is de‐
tected to the left rear of the vehicle, a signal
tone sounds from the left rear speaker.
The shorter the distance to the object be‐
comes, the shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approx. 10 in/25 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.
If objects are located both in front of and be‐
hind the vehicle, an alternating continuous sig‐
nal is sounded.
The intermittent tone is interrupted after ap‐
prox. 3 seconds:▷If the vehicle stops in front of an object that
is detected by only one of the corner sen‐
sors.▷If moving parallel to a wall.
The signal tone is switched off:
▷When the vehicle moves away from an ob‐
ject by more than approx. 4 in/10 cm.▷When transmission position P is engaged.
Volume
You can set the volume of the PDC signal, refer
to page 163.
The setting is stored for the remote control
currently in use.
Visual warning
The approach of the vehicle to an object is
shown on the Control Display. Objects that are
farther away are displayed on the Control Dis‐
play before a signal sounds. The display ap‐
pears as soon as PDC is switched on.
Malfunction The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster comes on. PDC has failed.
A message appears on the Control Display.
Have the system checked.
To ensure full operability:▷Keep the sensors clean and free of ice.▷When using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the sensors for long periods and
maintain a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.Seite 108ControlsDriving comfort108

▷Left LED on, automatic recirculated air
control: a sensor detects pollutants in the
outside air. If necessary, the system blocks
the supply of outside air and recirculates
the inside air. As soon as the concentration
of pollutants in the outside air has de‐
creased sufficiently, the system automati‐
cally switches back to outside air supply.▷Right LED on, recirculated air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked. The system then recir‐
culates the air currently within the vehicle.
Adjusting air flow rate manually
Press the left side of the button to
reduce air flow. Press the right
side of the button to increase it.
The air volume may be reduced automatically
to save battery power. The display remains the
same.
Air distribution, manual
Depending on the selected setting, the air is
directed to the windshield, to the upper body
area, to the knee area and into the footwell.
Adjusting air distribution manually Press the button repeatedly until
the air distribution is set as re‐
quired. The corresponding LED lights up.
The manual air distribution is also switched on
when the AUTO program is deactivated.
Residual heat
The heat stored in the engine is used to heat
the interior.
This function can be switched on
using the right-hand button under
the following conditions:
▷Up to 15 minutes after switching off the
engine.▷When the engine is warm.▷With sufficient battery voltage.▷At an external temperature under
77 ℉/25 ℃.
The middle LED is lit when the function is on.
Defrosting and defogging windows Quickly removes ice and conden‐
sation from the windshield and
front side windows.
For this purpose, also switch on the cooling
function.
Rear window defroster The defroster switches off auto‐
matically after a certain time or
when the hardtop is opened.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the in‐
coming air. The activated-charcoal filter pro‐
vides additional protection by filtering gaseous
pollutants from the outside air. Your service
center replaces this combined filter during rou‐
tine maintenance.

country version. Replacement work, spare
parts, fuels and lubricants and wear materials
are calculated separately. Additional informa‐
tion can be obtained from the service center.
Condition Based Service
CBS
Sensors and special algorithms take into ac‐
count the driving conditions of your vehicle.
Based on this, Condition Based Service deter‐
mines the maintenance requirements.
The system makes it possible to adapt the
amount of maintenance you need to your user
profile.
Details on the service requirements, refer to
page 80, can be displayed on the Control Dis‐
play.
Service data in the remote control
Information on the required maintenance is
continuously stored in the remote control.
Your service center will read out this data and
suggest the right array of service procedures
for your vehicle.
Therefore, hand your service specialist the re‐
mote control that you used most recently.
Storage periods Storage periods during which the vehicle bat‐
tery was disconnected are not taken into ac‐
count.
If this occurs, have a service center update the
time-dependent maintenance procedures,
such as checking brake fluid and, if necessary,
changing the engine oil and the microfilter/
activated-charcoal filter.
