Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. Otherwise, the windows could
mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R activate air-recirculation mode only briefly
R switch on "Cooling with air dehumidification"
R activate the "Windscreen demisting" function
briefly, if required
The air-conditioning system or THERMOTRONIC
automatic climate control regulates the temper- ature and the humidity of the vehicle interior andfilters undesirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system or THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control can only be operatedwhen the engine is running. Optimum operationis only achieved with the side windows and pan-
orama sliding sunroof closed.
The residual heat function can only be activated or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(Y page 126).
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear (Y page 113). Otherwise the
vehicle will not be ventilated correctly.
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience
opening feature (Y page 90). This will speed up the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior temperature will be reached more
quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most parti-
cles of dust and soot and completely filters
out pollen. With THERMOTRONIC automatic
climate control, gaseous pollutants and
odours will also be reduced. A clogged filter
reduces the amount of air supplied to the
vehicle interior. For this reason, you should
always observe the interval for replacing the
filter, which is specified in the Service Book-
let. As this depends on environmental condi-
tions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval may be shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i Vehicles with auxiliary heating:
Under
certain environmental conditions, the resid-
ual heat function may be activated automati-
cally an hour after the ignition key has been
removed in order to dry the automatic climate
control. The blue LED on the rocker switch in the centre console lights up when the active
function to dry the automatic climate control is on. The vehicle is then ventilated for
30 minutes.
Vehicles without auxiliary heating: Under
certain environmental conditions, the resid-
ual heat function may be activated automati-
cally an hour after the ignition key has been
removed in order to dry the automatic climate control. The vehicle is then ventilated for
30 minutes. Overview of climate control systems

ditioning system.
R Switch on the air-conditioning system by turn-
ing control knob Aclockwise to the desired
position (except position 0).
R Set the temperature to 22 †.
R Recommendation for avoiding misted
windows at low exterior temperatures or
in rain: switch on the ¿cooling with dehu-
midification function (Y page 121).
Set air distribution to ¯and if possible
switch off PandO (Ypage 122).
Deactivate air-recirculation mode e
(Y page 124).
Set airflow control Ato a setting between 3
and 6(Y page 123). R
Recommendation for rapid cooling or
heating of the vehicle interior: briefly set
airflow control Ato a setting between 3and
6 (Y page 123).
R Recommendation for a constant vehicle
interior temperature: set airflow controlA
to a setting between 1and 3(Y page 123).
R Recommendation for air distribution in
winter: select the Oand¯ settings
(Y page 122).
Recommendation for air distribution in
summer: select the PorP and¯
settings (Y page 122).
R Use the "Windscreen demisting" function only
briefly until the windscreen is clear again.
R Use air-recirculation mode only briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odours or when
in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise mist up as no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle inair-recirculation mode.

trol system, the climate status display

automatic climate control
Automatic climate control The following contains instructions and recom-
mendations to enable you to get the most out of
your THERMOTRONIC automatic climate con-
trol.
R Activate climate control using the Ãand
¿ buttons. The indicator lamps in the

ature settings on the driver's side for the
front-passenger side as well. The indicator
lamp in the ábutton goes out.
R Use the residual heat function if you want to
heat or ventilate the vehicle interior when the

dehumidification
General notes If you deactivate the "Cooling with air dehumid-
ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will not be cooled during warm weather. The air
inside the vehicle will also not be dehumidified.
The windows can mist up more quickly. There-
fore, only deactivate the "Cooling with air dehu- midification" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function
is available only when the engine is running. The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehumidified
according to the temperature selected.

the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.
