Regulating climate control automati-
cally
General notes When dual-zone automatic climate control is in
automatic mode, the set temperature is auto-
matically kept constant. The system automati-
cally regulates the temperature of the dis-
pensed air, the airflow and the air distribution.
Automatic mode will achieve optimal operation
if the cooling with air dehumidification func-
tion is also activated. If desired, the cooling
with air dehumidification function can be deac-
tivated (
Y page 118).
Dual-zone automatic climate control Automatic mode for automatic climate control
settings can only be activated or deactivated
on the first menu level. If you do not set a new
value for the rear-compartment climate control
in the second menu level within approx. ten
seconds, the control panel display goes back
to the first menu level.
X Switch on climate control ( Y page 117).
X Set temperature for the driver's and front-
passenger side and, for vehicles with rear-
compartment air conditioning, for the rear
compartment, too

X To switch automatic mode on or off:
press the à button.
If the indicator lamp in the
à button
lights up, automatic mode is activated. The
airflow and air distribution are controlled
automatically and the windshield defrosting
function is deactivated.
If you deactivate automatic mode, the auto-
matic climate control system saves the current
settings.
In automatic mode, if you adjust the airflow or
air distribution manually, the indicator lamp
above the à button goes out. The function
which has not been changed manually, how-
ever, continues to be controlled automatically. Setting the temperature

WARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the
air vents. This could result in burns or frost-
bite 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.
The center and side air vents are adjustable.
The air vents can also be adjusted on vehicles
with rear-compartment air conditioning.
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 windshield
and the hood free of blockages, such as ice,
snow or leaves.
R never cover the vents or the ventilation
grilles in the vehicle interior. Setting the center air vents

If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following points:
R Immediately rinse the fuel off your skin
with soap and water.
R If you get fuel into your eyes, immediately
rinse your eyes throughly with clean
water. Seek medical attention immedi-
ately.
R Seek medical attention immediately if fuel
has been swallowed. Do not induce vomit-
ing.
R Immediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel. G
WARNING
Electrostatic charging can lead to the crea-
tion of sparks and ignite fuel vapor. There is
a risk of fire and explosion.
Touch the metallic body of the vehicle
before you open the fuel filler cap or handle
the pump nozzle. Any possible electrostatic
charge present will in this way be depleted.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the
refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic
charge could build up again. H
Environmental note
If fuels are handled improperly, they pose a
danger to persons and the environment. Do
not allow fuels to run into the sewage sys-
tem, the surface waters, the ground water or
into the ground.
! Do not switch on the ignition if you acci-
dentally refuel with the wrong fuel. Other-
wise, the fuel will enter the fuel lines. Notify
a qualified specialist workshop and have the
fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
! Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
fuel system.
! Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
! Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel
can. The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection system could otherwise be blocked by parti-
cles from the fuel can.

fuel grades under "Service products and
capacities"

Comply with instructions on the use, storage
and disposal of service products on the
labels of the respective original containers.
Always store service products sealed in their
original containers. Always keep service
products out of the reach of children. G
WARNING
Opening the hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is a fire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other service products. There is a risk of
injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is a fire in the
engine compartment, keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department. G
WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment, such as the engine, radiator and parts
of the exhaust system, can become very
hot. Working in the engine compartment
poses a risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down
and touch only the components described in
the following.
Coolant contains glycol and is therefore poi-
sonous. Also observe the safety notes under
"Service products and capacities"
(Y page
305). G
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized, particu-
larly when the motor is warm. If you open
the cap, you could be scalded if hot coolant
sprays out. There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open
the cap. Wear protective gloves and protec-
tive eyewear when opening. Open the cap
slowly to release pressure.
Only check the coolant level and/or fill the
coolant if the vehicle is on a level surface and
the engine has cooled down. The coolant tem-
perature must be below
122 ‡ (50 †). The
coolant temperature gauge must no longer reach the first line after the letter
C on the
scale and/or the bar display.
! Check the engine cooling and heating sys-
tem regularly for leaks.
If a large quantity of coolant is lost, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot
components in the engine compartment, it
may ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add
antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not
spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly
clean the antifreeze from components
before starting the engine.
! Take care not to spill any coolant on pain-
ted surfaces. You could otherwise damage
the paintwork. Example: cap and coolant expansion tank
Checking the coolant level
X Stop your vehicle as far away from traffic as
possible on level ground.
X Switch off the engine.
X Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling
away.
X Open the hood (Y page
251).
X Allow the engine to cool down.
X Unscrew cap : slowly about half a turn
counter-clockwise and allow excess pres-
sure to escape. 254
