selected individually or in combination.
Automatic mode
Standard setting for all seasons.Switching on automatic mode
– Select a temperature between +18°C (64°F) and +29°C (86°F).
– Press the button
⇒page 154, fig. 133 .The automatic mode maintains a constant temperature inside the vehicle and
dehumidifies the air. Air temperature, air delivery and air distribution are
regulated automatically to reach the desired interior temperature as quickly
as possible, and then to maintain this temperature. The system automatically
compensates for any variations in the outside temperature and for the effect
of direct sunlight.
The automatic temperature regulation only operates at temperature settings
between +18°C and +29°C. If a tem perature below +18°C is selected, LO
appears on the display. If a temperature is selected which is higher than
+29°C, the display will show HI. In the two extreme settings, the climate
control operates continuously with maxi mum cooling or heating output and the temperature is not regulated automatically. The temperature is not regu-
lated.
Note
By keeping the button on the driver's side pressed for several seconds,
the temperature of the passenger's side can be set to the temperature of the
driver's side or vice versa. The display indicates the new temperature value.Selecting the temperature
Separate temperatures can be selected for the driver's and
front passenger's side.– Press the or buttons below the displays
⇒page 154,
fig. 133 until the desired temperature is selected for the driver's
side or front passenger's side.The currently selected temperature setting is shown in the display above the
buttons.
By keeping the button on the driver's side pressed for several seconds,
the temperature of the passenger's side can be set to the temperature of the
driver's side or vice versa. The display indicates the new temperature value.
The previous temperature setting can be restored by resetting the display on
the driver's or passenger's side as required.

Topping up and changing the brake fluid
It is best to have the brake fluid changed by a professional.Brake fluid absorbs damp. Therefore, in the course of time it will absorb water
from the ambient air. If the water content in the brake fluid is too high, the
brake system could corrode. In addition, the boiling point of the brake fluid
will be considerably reduced. This could adversely affect the braking ability in
certain circumstances.
For this reason the brake fluid must be changed periodically.
Your vehicle's Service Schedule will tell you when the brake fluid has to be
renewed.
We recommend you have the brake fluid changed as part of a regular Inspec-
tion Service at your garage. They are familiar with the procedure and have the
necessary special tools and spare parts as well as the proper facilities for
disposing of the old fluid.
Use only the genuine brake fluid specified by the factory Specialist garages
know that the brake fluid -DOT 4- is factory approved. The brake fluid must be
new.
WARNING
•
Therefore, it must always be kept closed in its original container. Keep
out of the reach of children. Failure to comply could result in poisoning.
•
Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour lock if the brake fluid is left
in the system for too long. This would seriously affect the efficiency of the
brakes and the safety of the car, leading to the risk of accident.Caution
Please note that brake fluid will attack the paintwork on contact.
For the sake of the environment
If the fluid has to be drained out of the brake system, use an appropriate
container to catch the used brake fluid and dispose of it in the proper
manner.BatteryGeneral notes
All work on batteries requires specialist knowledge.The battery is virtually maintenance-free and is checked in the Inspection
Services.
We recommend that you replace a battery once it is older than 5 years.
Disconnecting the battery
If the battery is disconnected, some of the vehicle's functions will become
inoperative (e.g. electric windows). These functions will require resetting
after the battery is reconnected. For th is reason, the battery should only be
disconnected from the vehicle's electr ical system when absolutely necessary.
Long periods of non-use
The battery will gradually lose its charge because certain electrical equip-
ment continues to draw current even when the ignition is off. If you park the
vehicle for long periods of time in winter you should take the battery out of
the vehicle and keep it in a frost-proof room. Store the battery in a place
where it cannot “freeze up” and become damaged. At warm outside temper-
atures it is sufficient to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Even
when the battery is not connected you should charge it from time to time.

Some of the electrical items listed in
the table are only fitted on certain
models or are optional extras.
The electric windows and electric seat adjusters are protected by circuit
breakers. These reset automatically after a few seconds when the overload
(caused for example by frozen windows) has been corrected.
Note
Please note that the above list contains all data at the time of going to press,
so it is subject to modifications. If discrepancies should occur, please refer to
the sticker on the inside of the fuse cover for the correct information for your
model.BulbsGeneral notesYou can change the following bulbs for exterior lights yourself:•
Main headlights: all (exc ept for xenon headlights)
•
Rear lights: All bulbs
•
Bulb for side indicator The following bulbs can only be changed by a
qualified workshop:
•
Main headlights: Xenon* bulb ⇒page 256
•
Front fog lights: Bulb
As a rule, you require a certain degree of practical skill to change defective
bulbs. This applies in particular to those bulbs which are only accessible from
the engine compartment.
If in doubt, we recommend that you have defective bulbs changed by a qual-
ified workshop or qualified mechanic.
If you do decide to change bulbs in the engine compartment yourself, be
aware of the safety risks involved ⇒page 213 ⇒ in “Types of bulbs”.
Changing bulbs Halogen headlightsTypes of bulbsYou must only replace a bulb with a bu lb of the same type. The name can be
found on the base of the bulb.
WARNING
•
Take particular care when working on components in the engine
compartment if the engine is warm - risk of burns!
