Personal responsibility
The automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal judg‐
ment in determining when the lamps should be
switched on in response to ambient lighting
conditions.
For example, the sensors are unable to detect
fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lamps manually
under these conditions.◀

Driving comfortVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all series equipment as
well as country-specific and special equipment
offered for this model series. Therefore, it also
describes equipment that may not be found in
your vehicle, for instance due to the selected
special equipment or the country version. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems.
When using the features and systems descri‐
bed here, adhere to local regulations.
Cruise control The concept
Cruise control is available for use at speeds of
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h and higher. The car
then stores and maintains the speed that you
specify using the lever on the steering column.
In order to maintain the specified speed, the
system brakes the vehicle when the engine
braking effect is insufficient on downhill gradi‐
ents.
Do not use cruise control
Do not use the system if unfavorable
conditions make it impossible to drive at a con‐
stant speed, for instance:▷On curvy roads.▷In heavy traffic.▷On slippery roads, in fog, snow or rain, or
on a loose road surface.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehi‐
cle and cause an accident.◀
Manual transmission
You can shift gears while cruise control is acti‐
vated. An indicator lamp notifies you that you
should shift gears when you drive for an ex‐
tended period at very high or very low engine
speeds, or the system is deactivated.

ating2Storing and maintaining speed or deceler‐
ating3Deactivating cruise control4Resuming a speed stored beforehand
Maintaining current speed
Push the lever, arrow 1, or pull it briefly, ar‐
row 2.
The car's current speed is stored and main‐
tained. It is displayed on the speedometer and briefly in the instrument cluster.
On uphill gradients, it may prove impossible to
maintain the set speed if current engine power
output is insufficient. If the engine braking ef‐
fect is insufficient on downhill slopes, the sys‐
tem will brake the vehicle slightly.
Increasing desired speed
Repeatedly press the lever to the resistance
point or beyond, arrow 1, until the desired
speed is reached.
▷Each time the lever is pressed to the point
of resistance, the desired speed increases
by approx. 1 mph/1 km/h.Seite 105Driving comfortControls105

To give the automatic climate control enough
time to achieve the set temperature, do not
switch between different temperature settings
in quick succession.
Maximum heating power can be obtained with
the highest setting, regardless of the external
temperature.
The lowest setting effects continuous cooling.
Switching the cooling function on and
off
The cooling function cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air be‐
fore reheating it as required, ac‐ cording to the temperature set‐
ting. This function is only available
while the engine is running.
The cooling function helps to prevent conden‐
sation on the windows or to remove it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
Maximum cooling The air is cooled as quickly as
possible with the engine running.
The automatic climate control goes into recir‐
culated air mode at the lowest temperature. Air
flows at maximum rate from the vents for the
upper body area. You should therefore open
the vents for maximum cooling.
AUTO program
The AUTO program automatically adjusts the
air distribution to the windshield and side win‐
dows, toward the upper body area, and into the
footwell and knee area.
The air flow rate and air distribution, in addition
to your temperature specifications, will be
adapted to outside influences as a result ofseasonal changes, e.g., sunlight or window
condensation.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
Switching on/off Press the button.
Manual air distribution and air flow
rate are activated when the AUTO program is
deactivated.
AUTO program climate level
The climate levels can be used to vary the in‐
tensity when the AUTO program is switched
on. For example, air flow is adjusted automati‐
cally to optimize climate control.
When the AUTO program is
switched on, the climate level of
the AUTO program can be se‐
lected using the buttons for controlling the
manual air flow rate.
The selected climate level is displayed by an
LED.
Convertible program
When the hardtop is open, the convertible pro‐
gram is activated as well. In the convertible
program, the automatic climate control is opti‐
mized for driving with the hardtop open. In ad‐
dition, the air flow rate is increased as vehicle
speed increases.
The effectiveness of the convertible program
can be enhanced considerably by installing the
wind deflector.
Automatic recirculated air mode/
recirculated air mode
Switch on the desired operating
mode by pressing this button re‐
peatedly:▷LED off: outside air flows in
continuously.Seite 113ClimateControls113

▷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.
