PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
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 4ºC (39ºF).
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.

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
AUTObutton 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 controladjusts to the current circumstancesautomatically. For the system to functionproperly, the side and centre vents shouldbe 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 theside windows as long as the engine iscold.

Climate controlE71383 E91390

Note:For information on the automatic
climate control, on vehicles fitted with a combined Navigation and automaticclimate control system, see separatehandbook.
Setting the temperature You can set the temperature between
16ºC and 28ºC in steps of 0.5ºC. In
position
LO(below 16ºC) the system will
switch to permanent cooling, in HI(above
28ºC) to permanent heating, and 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
4ºC.
Note:
If you set a temperature of greater
than 4°C, the temperature on the other side will be adjusted so that the differenceremains 4°C.
Note:If you set one of the sides to HIor
LO, both sides will be set to HI or LO.
To switch mono mode back on To switch mono mode back on, press the
MONO
button.MONO reappears in the
display and the passenger’s side
temperature will be adjusted to the
driver’s side temperature.

speed.
The blower setting is indicated in the
display.
To return to auto mode, press the
AUTO
button.

HEATED WINDOWS AND
MIRRORS
Heated windows
Use the heated windows to defrost or
demist the windscreen or rear window.
Note:The heated windows operate only
when the engine is running.
Heated windscreen Heated rear window
Heated exterior mirrors
Electric exterior mirrors are fitted with a
heating element that will defrost or demist
the mirror glass. They will switch on
automatically when you switch the heated
rear window on.
AUXILIARY HEATER
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 theambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). The heater will not operate if thebattery 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 isnormal.
Note:On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, airdistribution 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.

Voice recognition enables operation of
the system without the need to divert your
attention from the road ahead in order to
change settings, or receive feedback
from the system.
Whenever you issue one of the defined
commands with the system active, the
voice recognition system converts your
command into a control signal for the
system. Your inputs take the form of
dialogues or commands. You are guided
through these dialogues by
announcements or questions.
Please familiarise yourself with the
functions of the system before using voice
recognition.

System response
As you work through a voice session the
system will prompt you with a beep tone
each time the system is ready to proceed. Do not try to give any commands until the
beep tone has been heard. The voice
control system will repeat each spoken
command back to you.
If you are not sure how to continue say
"HELP" for assistance or "CANCEL" if you
do not wish to continue.
The "HELP" function provides only a
subset of the available voice commands.
