Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen free from obstruction (snow,
leaves etc.) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the
windscreen. The air currently in the passenger
compartment will be recirculated. Outside
air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioning
Note:
The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4°C (39°F).
Note: If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be
higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator
where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted
from the air to help keep the windows free
of mist. The resulting condensation is
directed to the outside of the vehicle and
it is therefore normal if you see a small
pool of water under your vehicle.
General information on controlling
the interior climate
Fully close all the windows. Warming the interior
Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some of
the air towards the windscreen and the
door windows.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.

Reducing interior air humidity AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL
The system controls the temperature,
amount and distribution of the air flow
automatically and adjusts them according
to the driving and weather conditions.
Pressing the AUTO button once switches
on the auto mode.
The system in your vehicle is dual-zone
automatic climate control. When the
system is in mono mode, all the
temperature zones are linked to the driver's
zone. When you switch mono mode off,
the dual-zone system allows you to set
different temperatures for the driver's and
front passenger's side.
Note:
Avoid adjusting the settings when
the vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold.
The automatic climate control adjusts to
the current circumstances automatically.
For the system to function properly, the side
and centre vents should be fully open.
Note: The sunload sensor is located on top
of the instrument panel. Do not cover the
sensor with any objects.
Note: At low outside temperatures, when
the system is in auto mode, the air stream
will be directed to the windscreen and the
side windows as long as the engine is cold.

You can set the temperature between
15.5°C (60°F) and 29.5°C (85°F) in steps
of 0.5°C (1°F). In position LO, 15°C (59°F),
the system will switch to permanent
cooling. In position HI, 30°C (86°F), the
system will switch to permanent heating.
Note:
If either position LO or HI is selected,
the system will not regulate a stable
temperature.
Mono mode
In mono mode, the temperature settings
for both the driver ’s and passenger ’s side
are linked. If you adjust the temperature
using the rotary control on the driver ’s side,
the settings will be adjusted to the same
setting on the passenger ’s side. In mono
mode, MONO appears in the display.
To switch mono mode off
Select a temperature for the passenger ’s
side with the rotary control on the
passenger ’s side. Mono mode will switch
off and MONO disappears from the
display. The temperature for the driver ’s
side will remain unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver and passenger side
temperatures independently of each
another. The temperature settings for each
side are shown in the display. You can set
a temperature difference of up to 4°C
(8°F).
Note: If you set a temperature difference
of greater than 4°C (8°F), the temperature
on the other side will be adjusted so that
the difference remains 4°C (8°F). Note:
If you set one of the sides to HI or LO,
both sides will be set to HI or LO.

Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only operate
if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of
fuel in the fuel tank and the ambient
temperature is below 15°C (59°F). The
heater will not operate if the battery is low.
Note: The heating depends on the outside
air temperature.
Note: When the parking heater is activated,
exhaust fumes may come from under the
sides of the vehicle. This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is
dependent on the temperature, air
distribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates independently
of the vehicle heater by heating the
engine ’s coolant circuit. It is fed from the
vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while
the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle
heater warm up the interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater provides
the following benefits: •
It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating temperature
sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has performed
one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only be
carried out if you have started the
vehicle ’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
Programming the parking heater
Note: The programmed time is the time at
which you wish the vehicle to be warm and
ready to drive, not the time at which the
heater switches on.
Note: You must programme the times at
least 70 minutes in advance of the time you
wish to set.
Note: You must set the time and date
correctly. See Clock (page 122).
To programme the heating times:
1. Use the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to enter the main menu. See
Information Displays (page 83).
2. Select the park heater option.

on country)
WARNING
The fuel operated heater must not
be operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The fuel operated heater aids in warming
the engine and the vehicle interior on
vehicles with a diesel engine. It is switched
on or off automatically depending on the
outside air temperature and the coolant
temperature, unless you have deactivated
it.
To deactivate the fuel operated heater:
1. Highlight Aux. Heater and press the
OK button. A cross appears in the box
when the heater is activated.
Diesel auxiliary heater (depending
on country)
The diesel auxiliary heater (PTC electrical
heater) aids in warming the engine and the
vehicle interior on vehicles with a diesel
engine. It is switched on or off
automatically depending on the outside
air temperature, the coolant temperature
and the alternator load.
