outside temperature is displayed, for ex-
ample after leaving a garage. There may
also be a short delay before a rise in the
outside temperature is displayed. This
prevents you from seeing a temperature
display influenced by heat from the engine
when the vehicle is stationary or moving
slowly.

Tempmatic is only operational while the
engine is running. You can use Tempmatic
to regulate or control the temperature au-
tomatically. The vehicle is either heated or
cooled, depending on the temperature se-
lected and the outside temperature.
The combination filter removes most dust
particles, pollen and unpleasant odors
from the outside air.
The interval for replacing the filter depends
on environmental factors, e.g. high air pol-
lution. The interval may be shorter than
that indicated in the Service Booklet.

Warning
G
Follow the settings recommended on the
following pages for heating or cooling. The
windows could otherwise fog up. As a result,
you could be distracted from road and traffic
conditions and cause an accident.Warning
G
Air flowing out of the air vents in the footwell
when Tempmatic is in operation may be very
hot or very cold. There is therefore a risk of
frostbite or burns to bare skin in the imme-
diate proximity of these outlets. Keep bare
skin away from these air outlets. If neces-
sary, direct the airflow into a different area
of the vehicle interior using the air distribu-
tion control.

Auxiliary heating/ventilation*

\3 Auxiliary heating/ventilation*The auxiliary heating heats or ventilates
the interior to a temperature that you have
set. The auxiliary heating can be operated
with the engine switched on or off.
The auxiliary heating is equipped with a
water heater.
The auxiliary heating heats the coolant and
the vehicle interior and is therefore more
favorable to the engine and consumes less
fuel. The fuel tank must be at least a quar-
ter full to ensure that the auxiliary heating/
ventilation operates correctly.
The maximum heating period is
60 minutes.You can use the auxiliary heating / ventila-
tion to:
\4ventilate or preheat the vehicle interior
and to de-ice the windows
\4start the engine better in cold weather
\4support the vehicle’s heating system
while the engine is running and outside
temperatures are low (heater booster
function) (\2page 137)
You can use the operating system to define
up to three switch-on times, one of which
can be selected to switch on the auxiliary
heating / ventilation (\2page 142). Warning
G
Exhaust fumes are produced while the auxilia-
ry heating is in operation. For this reason,
switch off the auxiliary heating in enclosed
spaces without an extraction system, e.g. a
garage.
Operation of the auxiliary heating system is
prohibited at gas stations or when refueling
your vehicle. The auxiliary heating must there-
fore be switched off at refueling stations.
Warning
G
Observe the relevant safety regulations in the
case of vehicles used for the transport of haz-
ardous goods.
Aerosols, gas cartridges and other pressur-
ized containers transported in the vehicle may
be highly flammable and could explode when
heated.
Make sure that the containers described are
kept away from the flow of hot air from the
auxiliary heating.
Otherwise, you could endanger yourself and
others.
iThe auxiliary heating automatically
switches to heater booster mode after
the engine is started.
