Heating and air conditioning system

WARNING
•For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the
windows are free of ice, snow and mistin g. Please familiarize yourself about
how to correctly operate th e heating and ventilation systems, how to demist
and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
•You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of
time, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert
your attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an
accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
•If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may
be produced at the evaporator because of deposits. Switch the cooling system on
at least once a month for approximately 5 mi nutes at the highest blower stage - also
during the cold season of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a
window for a short time.
•We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the inte-
rior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air conditioning system.
This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is operating
which can only be eliminated through co nsiderable effort and expense (replace-
ment of compressor).
•The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage
compartment.
•On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio* or navigation*, the informa-
tion of the Climatronic is also shown on the display. You can switch off this function
for the Radio* - see operating instructions for radio. This function cannot be
switched off during Navigation*.

Note
Below the top row of buttons is located the interior temperature sensor. Do not
glue or cover over the sensor, otherwise it could have an unfavourable effect on the
Climatronic.
Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temper-
ature and to demist the windows in the interior of the car.
Switching automatic mode on
– Set a temperature between +18 °C and +26 °C.
– Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4 ⇒ page 108, fig. 136 so that the air
flow is directed slightly upwards.
– Press the button . In the right or left top corner a warning light lights up, depending on which unit was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button lights up, the
Climatronic operates in “HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of
the Climatronic.
When pressing again the button , the Climatronic changes into the “LOW”
mode and the warning light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses
only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aw are that the effectiveness of the air condi-
tioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing again the button , yo u change into the “HIGH” mode. The automatic mode is switched off by pr
essing the button for the air distribution
or increasing or decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is nevertheless
regulated.

– When you again press the switch , the cooling system is switched off. The warning light in the button goes out. Only the function of the
ventilation remains active when no lower temperature than the
outside temperature can be reached.
Setting temperature
You can separate the interior temperature for the left and right side sepa-
rately.
– You can set the temperature for both sides after switching on the igni- tion with the control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial . The warning light in the bu tton lights up, this indicates
that differing temperatures for the left and right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button lights up, the temperature for both sides
cannot be set with the control dial . You can reinitiate this function by pressing
the button . The warning light in the button which indicates the possibility to
set differing temperatures for the left and right side, goes out.
You can set the interior temperature be tween +18°C and +26°C. The interior
temperature is regulated automatically within this range. If you chose a tempera-
ture lower than +18°C, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If
you chose a temperature higher than +26°C, a red symbol lights up at the end of

Universal telephone preinstallation GSM II*
Introduction
This enables you to make full use of the advantages of a normal carphone (“hands-
free system - Hands Free” using a micropho ne integrated in the vehicle, optimal
transmission of signals using an external aerial
15) etc.). The equipment includes
also the voice control. The telephone is connected by means of the Bluetooth®
technology ⇒page 144, “Bluetooth®”. On vehicles fitted with a telephone
mount*, it is also possible to establish the connection via the interface of the
adapter
16) ⇒ page 145, “Operating telephone calls with the aid of the adapter*.”.
A phone phonebook is part of the mobile ph one preinstallation with voice control.
In the phone phonebook there are 1500 free memory locations available. This
phone phonebook is independent of the appliance used for the mobile phone.
Furthermore the volume can be changed individually during the call at any time
with the button for setting the radio* or on vehicles fitted with multifunction
steering wheel* with function buttons on the steering wheel.
If the system answers with the voice response “ Telephone is not ready”, please
check the operating state of the telephone as follows:
•Is the telephone switched on?
•Is the PIN code entered?
Dialogue
The period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands and
carry out the voice commands, is called DIALOGUE. The system gives audible feed-
back and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions. You can start or
end the dialogue at any time by pres sing the PTT button on the adapter*
⇒ page 145 or on the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒page 146.
The dialogue is always automatically ended after carrying out an operation, e.g.
after erasing the name from the phonebook. When receiving an incoming call, the dialogue is immediately interrupted and you
can accept the call by pressing the button
 on the multifunction steering wheel*
⇒ page 146 or by pressing the button for receiving a call directly on your tele-
phone.
If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “ Sorry?” and a new
entry can be performed. After the 2nd error the system repeats the aid. After the 3rd
error the answer “ Cancel” is given and the dialogue is ended.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following
factors:
•Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive voice
pauses.
•Avoid insufficient articulation.
•Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing
exterior noise.
•It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
•During the dialogue avoid additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.
•Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
•The microphone for voice control is direct ed to the driver and front passenger.
Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equipment.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety. Use the tele phone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full contro l of your vehicle at any time.
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interruption
of the connection. When taking out the mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this reduces the quality of the transmitting
and receiving signal. This might result a dditionally in harmful radiation from the

Adapter “Bluetooth only”
For the adapters which are marked with the “Bluetooth only” logo, the complete
communication between the telephone and the handsfree-system of your vehicle
is carried out only with the help of the Bluetooth
® technology. If an adapter marked
in such a way is inserted in the telephon e mount, it only serves for recharging the battery of the telephone and for transmit
ting the signal onto the outer vehicle
aerial.
Aside from the button PTT, the button SOS can be found on certain adapters
