RIf you wish to use the driver's side settings on
the front-passenger side and, for vehicles
with rear-compartment air conditioning, for
the rear compartment as well, use the "Syn-
chronization" function. The indicator lamp in
the0 button comes on when the function
is switched on.
RAfter long journeys, you can use the residual
heat of the engine to heat the stationary vehi-
cle. The residual heat utilization can only be
switched on or off while the ignition is
switched off. The indicator lamp in the Ì
button comes on when the function is
switched on.
Approximately 60 minutes after parking the
vehicle, dual-zone automatic climate control
can switch on automatically, depending on the
outside temperature. The vehicle is then venti-
lated for about 30 minutes at low fan setting and
dual-zone automatic climate control is dried out.
During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control system only operates at a reduced capa-
city. Further information on the automatic
engine switch-off can be found under "ECO
start/stop function" (
Ypage 123).
Optimum use of rear-compartment air
conditioning
Vehicles with air-conditioning system
Switch the rear-compartment air-conditioning
system on and off using the air-conditioning sys-
tem control panel. When you switch on the rear-
compartment air conditioning, your settings for
temperature, airflow and air distribution are
automatically adopted on the control panel for
the rear-compartment air conditioning.
The indicator lamp in the /button comes on
when the rear-compartment air-conditioning is
switched on (
Ypage 109).
Vehicles with dual-zone automatic climate
control
To operate the rear-compartment air condition-
ing, use the control panel of the dual-zone auto-
matic climate control system. When you switch
on the rear-compartment air conditioning, you
can set the temperature and airflow separately
on the control panel. The airflow setting is auto-
matically adopted for the rear-compartment air
conditioning. When dual-zone automatic cli-
mate control is in Ãautomatic mode, the air
distribution of the rear-compartment air condi-
tioning is also automatically adjusted. When you set the temperature and airflow of the
rear-compartment air conditioning, the indica-
tor lamp of the
/button (
Ypage 110)
flashes. When the rear-compartment air condi-
tioning is switched on, the indicator lamp on
the / button lights up.
For optimum climate control, set the tempera-
ture to 72 ‡ (22 †) and switch on Ãauto-
matic mode. Only change the temperature in
small increments.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Lane Keeping Assist may not always clearly
recognize lane markings.
In this case, Lane Keeping Assist may:
Rgive an unnecessary warning
Rnot give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and stay in lane, in particular if
warned by Lane Keeping Assist.
GWARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist warning does not
return the vehicle to the original lane. There is
a risk of an accident.
You should always steer, brake or accelerate
yourself, in particular if warned by Lane Keep-
ing Assist.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane Keep-
ing Assist can neither reduce the risk of accident
nor override the laws of physics. Lane Keeping
Assist cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. Lane Keeping Assist is only an
aid. You are responsible for the distance to the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in
good time and for staying in your lane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your vehicle
in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function
if:
Rthere is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
illumination of the road, or due to snow, rain,
fog or spray
Rthere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, the
sun or reflection from other vehicles (e.g. if
the road surface is wet)
Rthe windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged or
covered, for instance by a sticker, in the vicin-
ity of the camera
Rthere are no lane markings, or several unclear
lane markings for one lane, e.g. around con-
struction sites
Rthe lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-
ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
Rthe distance to the vehicle in front is too short
and thus the lane markings cannot be detec-
ted
Rthe lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch off, cross one another or merge
Rthe road is narrow and winding
Rthere are highly variable shade conditions onthe road
Deactivating and activating Lane Keep -
ing Assist
XPress the Çbutton.
If the indicator lamp in the button lights up
and the display shows the Çsymbol in the
status area, Lane Keeping Assist is switched
on but not ready for use.
If you are driving with Lane Keeping Assist
activated at speeds above 40 mph (60 km/h)
and lane markings are detected, the display
shows the Çsymbol highlighted in the
status area. Lane Keeping Assist is then ready
for use.

The message displays depend on the language
setting of the audio system. The following rear
view camera displays are examples.
Important safety notes
!Objects that are not at ground level appear
further away than they actually are, for exam-
ple:
Rthe bumper of the vehicle parked behind
Rthe drawbar of a trailer
Rthe ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
Rthe tail-end of a truck
Rslanted posts
Only use the camera guide lines for orienta-
tion. Do not get any closer to objects than the
lowest horizontal guide line. You may other-
wise damage your vehicle and/or the object.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immediate
surroundings. You are responsible for safe
maneuvering and parking. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the maneu- vering area while maneuvering and parking in
parking spaces.
The rear view camera may show obstacles in
perspectival distortion, incorrectly or not at all.
The rear view camera cannot display all objects
located very near and/or under the rear
bumper. It does not warn you of a collision, per-
sons or objects.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
a limited manner:
Rif the tailgate or rear door is open.
Rif it is raining very heavily or snowing, or it is
foggy.
Rat night or in very dark places.
Rif the camera is exposed to very bright light.
White lines may appear in the camera image.
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent light or LED
lighting. The camera image may flicker.
Rif the camera lens fogs up, e.g. when driving
into a heated garage in winter, causing a rapid
change in temperature.
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning (Ypage 267).
Rif the rear of the vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop. Do not use the rear view camera in these situa-
tions. You could otherwise injure others or dam-
age objects and the vehicle while parking and
maneuvering.
The field of vision and other functions of the rear view camera may be restricted due to additional
accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
license plate holder, rear-mount

ed bicycle
rack).
Guide lines are always shown at road level. In
trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the
level of the trailer coupling.
If you change wheel size, make sure they corre- spond to the correct wheel size category
(
Ypage 277). If the category is changed without
recoding the control units in the vehicle, the rear
view camera cannot be precisely calibrated. The
guide lines at road level or at the level of the
trailer tow hitch will not be displayed correctly.
In vehicles with a tailgate, the rear view camera
is protected from raindrops and dust by means
of a flap. When the rear view camera is activa-
ted, this flap opens.
The flap closes again when:
Ryou have finished the maneuvering process
Ryou switch off the engine
For technical reasons, the flap may remain open
briefly after the rear view camera has been
deactivated.
Switching the rear view camera on or
off
XTo switch on: make sure that the key is in
position 2in the ignition lock.
XShift the transmission to position R.
On vehicles with a tailgate, the rear view cam-
era flap opens. The audio display shows the
area behind the vehicle. The rear area shown
is divided by guide lines.
