Heating and ventilation system,
air conditioning system
3
Ventilation, heating and cooling 3 are
combined into one unit that is designed to
provide comfort regardless of the season,
weather or outside temperature.
When cooling 3 is activated, the air is
cooled and dried.
The heating unit heats the air as required in
all operating modes depending on the
position of the temperature switch. The air
supply can be adjusted to suit
requirements by means of the fan.
The buttons for cooling n and air
recirculation 4 are only found on
versions with optional air conditioning
system 3.

Electronic climate control
system
3
Offers the greatest comfort in the vehicle
interior regardless of the conditions
outside.
To ensure a uniform and comfortable
climate in the vehicle, the temperature of
inflowing air, air-flow rate and air
distribution are automatically adapted
based on the climate conditions outside
the vehicle and the current temperature of
the vehicle interior.

system
3
Provides a the greatest amount of comfort
in the interior regardless of the weather,
outside temperature or season.
To ensure a constant and comfortable
climate in the vehicle, the temperature of
the inflowing air, the air-flow rate and the
air distribution are changed automatically
according to climatic conditions outside
the vehicle.
The climate is regulated automatically
based on personal settings.
Picture no: 16500s.tif
Temperature changes due to external
influences, such as direct sunlight, are
automatically compensated.
When cooling (air conditioning
compressor) is active, air is cooled and
dehumidified.
The pollen filter removes dust, soot, pollen
and spores from the inflowing outside air.
Picture no:
When set to automatic mode, the climate
control system provides the optimal
settings for almost all conditions. If
necessary, climate control system settings
can be modified manually.
The climate control system is only
operational when the engine is running.
If you wish the climate control system 3 to
operate correctly, do not cover the sensor
on the instrument panel.
Cooling (air conditioning compressor)
switches off automatically at low outside
temperatures.

144 Driving and operationEngine exhaust
Picture no: 18600S.tif
Diesel particle filter 3
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the exhaust
gases. The system includes a self-cleaning
function that run automatically during
driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off
the soot particles at hi gh temperature. This
process takes place automatically under
set driving conditions and may take up
to 25 minutes. Fuel consumption may be
higher during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this process is
normal. Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short
journeys, the system may not clean itself
automatically.
If the filter requires cleaning and previous
driving conditions did not enable
automatic cleaning, control indicator
!
flashes. Continue driving, keeping engine
speed above 2000 rpm
-1. Shift down if
necessary. Diesel partic le filter cleaning is
then initiated.
9 Warning
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide, which is colourless
and odourless and could be fatal if
inhaled.
If exhaust gases penetrate the vehicle,
open windows and contact a workshop
for assistance.
Avoid driving with the tailgate open,
since exhaust gas can enter the interior
of the vehicle.

Self-help, vehicle care
Important
The driving comfort of the repaired tyre is
severely affected, therefore have this tyre
replaced.
If the compressor makes abnormal noises
or heats up greatly, switch it off for at
least 30 minutes.
The integrated safety valve opens at a
pressure of 7 bar.
Protect the compressor from moisture and
rain.The sealant can only be stored for approx.
4 years. After this time, the sealing
properties can no longer be guaranteed.
Heed the expiration date on the sealant
bottle.
Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of
the bottle as prescribed by applicable
laws.
The compressor and sealant can be used
from approx. -30 C.
The adapter on the bottom of the
compressor can be used to pump up other
items such as balls,
air beds, inflatable
dinghies and so on. Unscrew the air hose
and pull the adapter out.
Electrical system Fuses
Data on the replacement fuse must match
the data on the defective fuse.
In the vehicle there are two fuse boxes: in
the vehicle interior to the left of the
instrument panel, and in the engine bay to
the left in front of the windscreen.

Self-help, vehicle care
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (by the time the
water no longer beads at the latest).
Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint has
become dull or if solid deposits have
become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts should not be treated
with wax and polish.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
Clean wheels with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Wheels are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage with a
touch-up pen before rust forms. Have more
extensive damage or rust areas repaired
by a workshop. Exterior lights
Headlamp and other lamp covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any caustic
agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do
not clean them when dry.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned
with the same cleaner as used to clean the
body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do
not use any other agent. Avoid solvents
and petrol in particular. Do not use high-
pressure jet cleaners.
Interior and upholstery
Only clean the vehicle interior, including
the instrument panel fascia and panelling,
with a dry cloth or interior cleaner.
The instrument pane
l should only be
cleaned using a soft damp cloth.
Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum
cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an
upholstery cleaner.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or
interior cleaner.
Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro
fasteners on clothing could damage
seat upholstery.
