J To set the airflow (Y page 132) Notes on using automatic climate
control
Optimum use of automatic climate con-
trol The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on how best to use THERMATIC automatic
climate control or THERMOTRONIC.
R Activate climate control using the Ã
rocker switch. The indicator lamp above the
à rocker switch lights up. The "Cooling
with dehumidification" function is activated in
automatic mode.
R Set the temperature to 22 †.
R Use the "Windscreen demisting" function only
briefly until the windscreen is clear again.
R Use the "Air-recirculation mode" function 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 in air-recirculation
mode.
R Vehicles with THERMATIC with auxiliary heat-
ing or THERMOTRONIC: use the "Residual
heat" function if you want to heat or ventilate
the vehicle interior when the ignition is
switched off. The "Residual heat" function can
be switched on or off only with the ignition
switched off. The "Residual heat" function is
switched off when the ignition is switched on.

X Use a new pre-filled vial.
X Refillable vials: refill the vial with a maximum of 15 ml of the same
perfume. The perfume atomiser is faulty.
X Have the perfume atomiser checked at a qualified specialist work-
shop. Ionisation
Ionisation is used to purify and freshen the air in the vehicle interior, which is conducive to a
pleasant climate.
The ionisation of the interior air is odourless and
cannot, directly, be perceived in the vehicle inte- rior.
You can switch ionisation on or off using the
multimedia system (Y page 297).
Ionisation can only be operated when the auto-
matic climate control is switched on. The side air vent on the driver's side must be open. Auxiliary heating
Important safety notes G
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or sufficient
ventilation is not possible, toxic exhaust
fumes can enter the vehicle, especially car-
bon monoxide. This is the case, e.g. in
enclosed spaces, or if the vehicle is stuck in
snow. There is a risk of fatal injuries.
You should switch off the auxiliary heating in
enclosed spaces which do not have an extrac- tion system, e.g. a garage. If the vehicle is
stuck in snow and you must leave the auxiliary
heating running, keep the exhaust pipe and the area around the vehicle clear of snow. To
guarantee a sufficient supply of fresh air, open a window on the side of the vehicle away from
the wind. G
WARNING
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
parts of the vehicle can become very hot.
Flammable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with:
R hot parts of the exhaust system
R the exhaust gas itself
There is a risk of fire.
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
make sure that:
R no flammable materials come into contact
with hot vehicle components
R the exhaust gas can escape from the
exhaust pipe unhindered
R the exhaust gas does not come into contact
with flammable materials.
The auxiliary heating unit is fitted under the front wing on the right-hand side of the vehicle. The
emissions outlet is found behind the front wheel
on the right-hand side of the vehicle. Operating the climate control system

!
Operating the auxiliary heating/ventilation
draws on the vehicle battery. After you have
heated or ventilated the vehicle a maximum of two times, drive for a longer distance.
Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly – once a month – for about ten minutes.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the vehicle
interior to the set temperature. This occurs with- out using the heat of the running engine. The
auxiliary heating is operated directly using the
vehicle's fuel. For this reason, the fuel tank level
must be above the reserve range to ensure that the auxiliary heating functions.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation
automatically adjusts to changes in tempera-
ture and weather conditions. For this reason,
the auxiliary heating could switch from ventila-
tion mode to heating mode or from heating
mode to ventilation mode.
The auxiliary heating switches off when the
engine is switched off. The auxiliary ventilation
is not active if the engine is running.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation
switches off automatically after 50 minutes.
This time limit can be altered. To do this, consult
a qualified specialist workshop.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to cool
the vehicle interior to a temperature lower than
the outside temperature.
Before switching on X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 144).
X Set the desired temperature using the w
rocker switch on the front control unit.
If you do not alter the temperature before
switching on the auxiliary heating or auxiliary
ventilation, the last temperature setting will be
adopted.
Auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation can also be switched on if the manually set climate con-
trol is activated. Optimum comfort is attained
when the system is set to automatic mode. Set
the temperature to 22 †.
You can switch the auxiliary heating or auxiliary
ventilation on or off:
R using the rocker switch on the centre console
(Y page 138)
R using the remote control (Y page 139)The remote control can be used to set up to
three departure times, one of which may be pre- selected.

WARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air out-
lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior. In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
R keep the air inlet between the windscreen and
the bonnet free of blockages, such as ice,
snow or leaves
R never cover the vents or ventilation grilles in

Running-in notes
Important safety notes
In certain driving and driving safety systems, the sensors adjust automatically while a certain dis-
tance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered or after repairs. Full system effective-
ness is not reached until the end of this teach-in process.
Brake pads/linings and discs that either are new or have been replaced achieve optimum braking
effect only after several hundred kilometres of
driving. Compensate for the reduced braking
effect by applying greater force to the brake
pedal. The first 1500 km
The more you treat the engine with sufficient
care at the start, the more satisfied you will be
with the engine performance later on.
R You should therefore drive at varying road
speeds and engine speeds for the first
1500 km.
R Avoid overstraining the vehicle during this
period, e.g. driving at full throttle.
R When shifting gears manually, shift up in good
time, before the rev counter needle reaches
Ô of the way to the red area of the rev counter
display.
R Do not shift down a gear manually in order to
brake.
R Try to avoid depressing the accelerator pedal
beyond the pressure point (kickdown).
After 1500 km, you can increase the engine
speed gradually and accelerate the vehicle to
full speed.
You should also observe these notes on running- in if the engine or parts of the drive train on your
vehicle have been replaced.
Always observe the maximum permissible
speed. Driving
