Using the system
When ignition has been switched on the system normally works in
the automaticmode. Displays1, 2, 3, 7, 8and 9appear.
The Climatronicmaintains the selected vehicle interior temperature
fully automatically.
To do this, the temperature of the air flow as well as the blower
speed (air volume) and air distribution are altered automatically.
The system also takes account of intense sunlight. This eliminates
the need for a manual re-adjustment.
If the settings deviated from Automaticoperation before the
ignition is switched off the selected functions are permanently
stored. Only the function “air recirculation” is cancelled after about
20 minutes.
K

Climate control134
• The interior temperature can be freely selected with buttons17
and 18and is stored permanently until another temperature is
selected.
The interior temperature can be set between +18°C (64°F) and
+29°C (86°F). In this range it is automatically regulated.
If temperatures below +18°C (64°F) are selected “LO” appears in
the display. With temperatures above +29°C (86°F) “HI” is
displayed.
In these two end positions the system works continuously at
maximum cooling or heating output. The temperature is not
regulated.• If the blower speed is changed up or down a stage, automatic
mode is still retained.
• In certain operating conditions it may be found that the system
temporarily carries out functions which are not quite as expected.
This includes, for example, that for a few seconds after starting
from cold, air is directed mainly into the footwell. This is intentional
so that damp air in the system does not cause the windows to mist
up.

Partial deviation from Automatic mode
In nearly all cases the Automatic mode offers the best conditions
for the comfort of the vehicle occupants all the year round.
In isolated cases however it can be necessary to move away form
certain functions of the automatic mode by pressing various
buttons. The Climatronicstill works automatically.
The blower speed and thus the air volume at the front can be
increased or reduced with buttons
13and 14. This is shown by a
change in the number of lines in display position 1.
• By pressing button
11
– the ECON operation is switched off
– the air recirculation mode is switched off
– the windscreen and side windows can be defrosted or kept free
of misting (direct vents
4onto side windows)
– the dehumidifying and defrosting effect for the windscreen can
be increased if, for example persons with damp clothing are picked
up shortly after moving off.

for the front is selected by pressing button
12.
The symbol5appears in the display.
The air recirculation function prevents strong outside smells
entering the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnelor
standing in a trafficjam.Air recirculation can also be selected if the vehicle is to be heated
or cooled quickly. In this mode, air is drawn in from the vehicle
interior and heated or cooled.
Smoking should be avoided when air recirculation is selected, as
the smoke drawn in from the vehicle interior deposits on the
evaporator of the Climatronic. This leads to permanent odours
when the Climatronicis in operation. These can only be eliminated
by exchanging the evaporator, which is time-consuming and
expensive.
• With buttons
15and 16the air flow can be to the upper part of
the body or into the footwell.
• The combination of buttons
11and 16can be used to direct the
air flow both to the windscreen and into the footwell.

• Cooled air via the vents in the roof or warmed air through the
vents in the floor to the rear (buttons

depending on the setting for the front (buttons11-18).
• The inside temperature for the rear seats may be selected with

following:
When choosing the temperature for the front seats (position

between the two may not exceed 3°C.
When the Climatronicdetects the need to heat the inside, it also

General notes
• Ensure that the sensor on the air grille next to the display is not
covered up.
• To ensure that the Climatroniccan work properly, the air inlet in
front of the windscreen should be kept free of ice, snow and
leaves.
• The heat output depends on the coolant temperature – the full
heat output is therefore available when the engine is warm.
• Odours caused by a build-up of natural deposits in the vaporiser
can occur if the AUTO system has not been used for some time. The
cooling system should be turned on at fullblast at least once a
month – even during cold spells – to clear or to prevent the
odours.
• The stale air escapes through openings in the luggage
compartment side panels. Therefore when loading the luggage
compartment ensure that the openings are not covered.
• When the ambient temperature is high and the air very humid,
condensed water can drip off the evaporator and form a puddle
under the vehicle. This is quite normal and does not indicate a
leak.
• To prevent the windows from misting up the blower should be
running slowly when driving at low speeds. To do this select ECON
or AUTO.
K
Using Climatronic economically
In cooling operation the Climatronic compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. Tokeep the period switched on as short as possible, the following
points should be noted:
• If the inside temperature is very high after the car has been
parked in the sun, it is recommended to open doors or windows
briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
• The compressor should not be switched on during a journey if
the windows or sliding roof* are open.
• ECON mode should be selected if the desired interior
temperature can be attained without switching on the air
conditioner.
K
Operating faults
• If all the symbols in the display area flash for some 15 seconds
after switching the ignition on, there is a fault in the system.
Contact a Technical Service Centre.
• Should the cooling system not work at any time, either:
– the ambient temperature is below about +5 °C,
– the Climatronic compressor has switched off due to coolant
temperature being too high.
– or the fuses have blown.
Check the fuse and if necessary replace
⇒"Fuses" chapter. If the
trouble is not due to a defective fuse, have Climatronic checked.
• If the cooling output drops off, switch the Climatronic off and
have the system checked.
K
