118Climate control9Warning
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 from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and avoid the use
of air distribution settings J and V.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.
● Cooling A/C on.
● Air recirculation system 4 on.
● Set air distribution control to M.
● Set temperature control to coldest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Open all air vents.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows
● Set temperature control to warmest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Set air distribution control to V.
● Switch cooling A/C on.

120Climate controlCooling A/C
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
Note
Air conditioning performance is
reduced when ECO mode has been
activated 3 129.
If no cooling or drying is required
press A/C OFF to switch the cooling
system off, thus saving fuel. LED
illuminates in the button.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
AUTO button.
Air recirculation mode u
Activate or deactivate manual air recirculation mode with u. LED
illuminates in the button when
activated.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 from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
AUTO button.
Rear heating system
The rear passenger compartment
heating fan assists air flow to the rear
passenger compartment via the rear
air vents.
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan. Air temperature is controlled
using the temperature control on the
instrument panel.
Rear air conditioning system
The rear air conditioning system is
actuated in conjunction with the front
passenger compartment air
conditioning system.

Climate control121Rear air conditioning fan switch
The rear air conditioning fan assists
air flow to the rear passenger
compartment via the rear air vents.
Switch on the fan while the air
conditioning system is operating to
allow cooled and dehumidified (dried) air to be distributed.
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan.
Auxiliary heater
Coolant 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.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.
Control units
The timer or remote control unit turns the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.
