Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print.Country-specific variation sare possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to system sand function srelevantt o

Overview of climat econtrol systems
Important safetyn otes
Observethe recommende dsettings on the fol-
lowing pages. Otherwise, the windows could fog
up.
To preventt he windows from foggingu p:
Ronly switchoff climatec ontrolbriefly
Ronly switc honair-recirculation mode briefly
Rfor vehicles with TEMPMATIC air-conditioning
or automatic climatec ontrol, switchonthe
"Cooling with air dehumidification "function.
Rfor vehicles with automatic climatec ontrol,
switc hont he windshield defrostin gfunction
briefly, if required
Climate contro lregulates the temperature and
the humidity in the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances from the air.
Climate contro lisonly operational when the
engin eisrunning. The system only functions
optimally when the side windows are closed.
Ventilate the vehicle for abrief period during
warm weather. In order to cool the vehicle more
rapidly, switc hclimat econtro ltoair-recircula-
tion mode briefly. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
The integrated filter can filter out most particles
of dust and completely filter sout pollen. In vehi-
cles with automatic climatec ontrol, gaseous
pollutant sand odors will also be reduced. A
clogged filter reduces the airflow int othe vehi-
cle interior. For this reason,y ou should always
observet he interval for replacin gthe filter,
which is specified in the Maintenance Booklet.
As the interval between changes depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pollu- tion
,the interval may be shorter than stated in
the Maintenance Booklet.

GWARNING
During convenience opening, body parts
could be drawn in or become trapped
between the side window and the door frame.
There is arisk of injury.
Monitor the entire opening procedure when
using convenience opening. When opening,
make sure that nobody touches the side win- dow. Release the %switch immediately if
somebody becomes trapped, to interrupt the
opening procedure.
XPre-entry climate control and conveni-
ence opening with the key: press and hold

The side windows open automatically and the
blower of the climate control system is acti-
vated.
XRelease the %button.
iAt high interior temperatures, the blower is
also switched on when adoor is opened. This
means that slightly cooled air enters the vehi-
cle interior after the engine is started, to cool
the vehicle more rapidly.
Switching the residual heat function
on/off
General notes
Only vehicles with automatic climate control
have the residual heat function.
Once the engine is switched off, it is possible to
make use of the residual heat of the engine to
continue heating or ventilating the front com-
partment of the vehicle for approximately
30 minutes. The heating or ventilation time
depends on the set interior temperature.
