Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wiper
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry. If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
!Vehicles with rain/light sensor:
Switch the wipers off in dry weather. Other-
wise, dirt or optical effects may cause unde-
sired windshield wiper sweeps. This could
then damage the windshield wiper blades or
scratch the windshield.
The windshield will no longer be wiped properly
if the wiper blades are worn. Replace the wiper
blades twice a year (
Ypage 94), ideally in
spring and fall.

XTurn the key to position 1or 2in the ignition

XSingle wipe: push the combination switch
briefly to the pressure point in the direction of arrow :.
XTo wipe with washer fluid: press the com-
bination switch beyond the pressure point in
the direction of arrow :.
The detent positions of the combination switch
correspond to the following wiper speeds:

iCanada only:
If the wind shield wiper s areswitched on and
you stop the veh icle, the windshield wiper
speed isreduced. For example, ifyou have
selected level IIand stop the veh icle,wipin g
continues with intermittent wipe whilethe
veh icle is stationary. Ifintermittent wipe is
selected, the intervals become longer.
Vehicles with a rain and light sensor: you
can use level Ias the universal setting. The
rain and light sensor sets the appropriate wip-
ing frequency automatically, according to the
intensity of the rain. When you stop the veh i-
cle, leve lsIII and IIare swit ched down to
level Iautomatically.
The wind shield wiper will return to the original
level when you drive faster than 5 mph
(8 km/h).
You can adjust the sensitivit y of the rain and
light sensor using the on-board computer
(
Ypage 173).
In formation on checking the washer fluid level

Replacing the wiper blades
GWARNING
If the wind shield wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiperblades, you could
be trapped by the wiper arm. There is a risk of
injury.
Alwa ysswit ch off the windshield wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.
!Never open the hood if a windshield wiper
arm has been folded away from the wind-
shield.
Never fold a windshield wiper armwithout a
wiper blade back onto the windshield/rear
window.
Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiperblade. Ifyou release the
windshield wiper arm without a wiperblade
and it falls onto the windshield, the windshield
may bedamaged by the force of the impact.
We recommend that you have the wiper
blades replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
!Only hold the wiper blade by the wiper arm.
You could otherwise damage the wiper rub-
ber.
The windshield will no longer be wiped properly
if the wiper blades are worn. Replace the wiper
blades twice a year, ideally in spring and fall.

Adjusting the air vents
Important safety notes
GWARNING
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.
The center and side air vents are adjustable. On vehicles with a rear-compartment air-condi-
tioning system, you can also adjust the air vents
in the roof duct.
iFor virtually draft-free ventilation, adjust the
sliders of the center air vents to the center
position.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
Rkeep the air inlet grille on the hood free of
blockages, such as ice, snow or leaves.
Rnever cover the vents or the ventilation grilles
in the vehicle interior.

!
Always leave at least one air vent open.
If the rear-compartment air conditioning is
switched on and all the air vents are closed,
the air-conditioning system may be damaged.
On vehicles with rear-compartment air condi-
tioning, adjustable air vents are integrated into
the roof duct.
XTo adjust the airflow: open or close the air
flap in air vents :as needed.
XTo adjust the air distribution: turn air
vent :to the desired position.
Operating the auxiliary heating sys-
tem
Important safety notes
GDANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or adequate
ventilation is not possible, poisonous gases
such as carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the vehicle. This is the case, for example in
enclosed spaces or if the vehicle gets stuck in
snow. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Switch the auxiliary heating off in enclosed
spaces without extraction systems, e.g. in
garages. If the vehicle is stuck in snow and
you have to leave the auxiliary heating run-
ning, keep the exhaust pipe and the area
around the vehicle free of snow. To ensure anadequate supply of fresh air, open a window
on the side of the vehicle that is not facing into
the wind.
106Operating the auxiliary heating system
Climate control

GWARNING
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
parts of the vehicle can become very hot, e.g.
the exhaust system.
Flammable materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with:
Rhot parts of the exhaust system
Rthe exhaust gas itself
There is a risk of fire.
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
make sure that:
Rno flammable materials come into contact
with hot vehicle components
Rthe exhaust gas can escape from the
exhaust pipe unhindered
Rthe exhaust gas does not come into contact
with flammable materials.
!Turn on the auxiliary heating at least once a
month for approximately 10 minutes. The
auxiliary heating could otherwise be dam-
aged.
!Make sure that the flow of hot air is not
blocked. The auxiliary heating will otherwise
overheat and switch off.
Your vehicle may be equipped with either an
auxiliary hot-water heater or an auxiliary warm-
air heater. Adjustment and operation of the:
Rhot-water auxiliary heater is done via the on-
board computer and with the auxiliary heating
button in the control panel (
Ypage 108) or
with the remote control (Ypage 109).
Rauxiliary warm-air heater is done via the timer
above the overhead control panel
(
Ypage 114).
The auxiliary heating works independently of the
engine and supplements the climate control
system in the vehicle. The auxiliary heating
heats the air in the vehicle interior to the tem-
perature set.
If your vehicle is equipped with a hot-water aux-
iliary heater, the auxiliary heating also keeps the
coolant warm. This way, the load on the engine
is minimized and fuel is saved.
The heater booster function (
Ypage 111) of the
au xiliary heating supports the climate control system when the engine is running and the out-
side temperature is low.
You can use the auxiliary heating at an outside
temperature of up to 39 ‡ (4 †). At an outside
temperature above 39 ‡ (4 †) the auxiliary
heating system and the heater booster function
switch off automatically.
Hot-water auxiliary heating
Heating time
The heating time when operating the auxiliary
heating with the vehicle is stationary without the
engine running depends on the outside temper-
ature and the electrical consumers switched on.

You can then switch on the auxiliary heating
again.
If you do not start the engine for a while, the total
duration of heating is limited to a maximum of
120 minutes to protect the starter battery.
Switching on the auxiliary heating is then auto-
matically disabled. You can, for example, switch
on the auxiliary heating without the engine run- ning if the outside temperature is Ò5‡( Ò20 †) a
maximum of two times. If you try it again, the
indicator lamps in the ybutton
(
Ypage 108) flash alternately for approximately
2 minutes to signal switch-on interlock. The aux-
iliary heating cannot be switched on without
starting the engine.
When the condition of charge of the starter bat-
tery is sufficient again, the switch-on interlock
will be deactivated. To charge the starter bat-
tery, let the engine run. The engine run time
required to reach the necessary condition of
charge depends on the outside temperature and
on the electrical consumers switched on.
