Useful information
i
This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip-
ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.
iRead the information on qualified special-
ist workshops (
Ypage 26).
Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise fog up.
To prevent the windows from fogging up:
Rswitch off climate control only briefly
Rswitch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly
Rswitch on the cooling with air dehumidifi-
cation function
Rswitch on the defrost windshield function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature
and air humidity in the vehicle interior. The air
filter cleans the air, thus improving the inte-
rior climate.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning. Optimum climate control is only ach-
ieved with the side windows and roof closed.
If you start the engine using your smartphone,
the last selected climate control setting is
reactivated (
Ypage 154).
The residual heat function can only be acti-
vated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off (
Ypage 143).
iVentilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con- venience opening feature (
Ypage 99). This
will speed up the cooling process and the
desired interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
iThe integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pol- lutants and odors. 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 Maintenance
Booklet. As it depends on environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Maintenance Booklet.
iIt is possible that the blower may be acti-
vated automatically 60 minutes after the
SmartKey has been removed depending on various factors, e.g. the outside tempera-
ture. The vehicle is then ventilated for
30 minutes t
o dry the climate control sys-
tem.
