Lighting113When the automatic light control
function is switched on and the
engine is running, the system
switches between daytime running
lights (where fitted) and headlights,
depending on the lighting conditions.
For reasons of safety, the light switch
should always remain in the AUTO
position.
Daytime running lights 3 115.
Automatic headlight activation During poor lighting conditions the
headlights are switched on.
Additionally, headlights are switched
on if the windscreen wiper has been
activated for several wipes.High beam
To change between low and high
beam, push or pull stalk until a click is felt.
High beam assist
This feature automatically activates
the high beam at night when vehicle
speed is faster than 45 km/h.
It switches automatically back to low
beam when:
● The camera in the windscreen detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.
Activation
Turn the outer light switch to AUTO
then pull the stalk to activate high beam assist.

116LightingActivate temporary flashing by
holding the stalk just before the
resistance point. Turn lights will flash
until stalk is being released.
To activate three flashes, tap the stalk
briefly without passing the resistance
point.
Front fog lights
Turn inner switch to position >
and
release.
Front fog lights operate with engine
running and headlights switched on.
Rear fog lights
Turn inner switch to position ø and
release.
Rear fog lights operate with engine
running and headlights switched on.
Reversing lights
The reversing lights come on when
the ignition is on and reverse gear is
selected.
Misted light covers
The inside of the light covers may mist up briefly in poor, wet and cold
weather conditions, in heavy rain or
after washing. The mist disappears
quickly by itself. To help, switch on the
headlights.

Cooling (A/C)
Press A/C to switch on cooling. The
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation. Cooling is only
functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press A/C again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is a little above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Note
If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the ambient temperature is high, an Autostop
may be inhibited until the required
temperature in the passenger
compartment has been reached.If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the engine is in an Autostop, the engine may
restart automatically.

Air recirculation system
Press u to activate air recirculation
mode. The LED in the button illuminates to indicate activation.

recirculation mode.9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up. The quality
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hotair can disperse quickly.

The system can be manually adapted by use of air distribution and air flow
controls.
The electronic climate control system
is only fully operational when the
engine is running.

the sensor on the instrument panel.
Automatic mode
Basic setting for maximum comfort: ● Press AUTO ("AUTO" appears in
the display).
● Set desired temperature (the temperature appears in the
display).
● Open all air vents.
During automatic mode, the settings
for fan speed, air distribution, air
conditioning and air recirculation are
automatically regulated by the system and are not shown on the display.
Temperature preselection
Temperatures can be set to the
desired value with the two buttons
below the display.
For reasons of comfort, change
temperature only in small increments.red:warmblue:coldHeating will not be fully effective until
the engine has reached normal

If the minimum temperature of 15 ℃
is set, the electronic climate control
system runs at maximum cooling.
If the maximum temperature of 27 ℃
is set, the electronic climate control
system runs at maximum heating.
Note
If the temperature is to be reduced
for climate comfort reasons, an
Autostop can be inhibited or the
engine will restart automatically
when cooling is switched on.

Rear heating system
If the engine is switched off, the rear
compartment can be heated by the
additional heating, through low level
vents.
By programming values using the
control panel, the user can adjust the
time, day and temperature settings.
Heating will cease to operate if the
vehicle fuel level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
Note
If the rear heating system is
activated while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be
inhibited.
To ensure efficient performance, the
low level air vents in the rear
passenger compartment must not be
obstructed.

Climate control127Fan speed
Adjust the air flow to select the
desired speed.

Note
Rear air conditioning cannot be
switched on during an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 140.
Combi
Additional air conditioning is supplied to the rear passenger compartment
via the air vents located above the
driver and front passenger
compartment.
With the front passenger
compartment air conditioning system
switched on, adjust the air flow to
select the desired speed.
Ensure the air vents are open when in
use, to prevent ice forming in the
system due to lack of air movement.
Auxiliary heaterCoolant heater
The engine-independent, fuel-
powered coolant heater provides
rapid heating of the engine coolant to
enable heating of the vehicle interior
without the engine running.
Note
Depending on version, an additional
coolant heater may be switched on
automatically to speed up heating
when the ignition is on and the
outside temperature is below 5 ℃.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat, set the
air distribution to V and turn the fan
on.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.

134Climate controlBus
Adjustable air vents may be located inthe roof frame above the seats. Turn
adjuster to increase / decrease
airflow to the appropriate seat.
Fixed air vents
Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows and in the foot wells.
Glovebox cooler The air conditioning system can alsokeep the contents of the glovebox
cool.
Maintenance
Air intake
The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Air conditioning regular
operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when outside
temperature is too low.
ServiceFor optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended to annually check the
climate control system, starting
3 years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check
