button once the windscreen has demisted.■
During operation of the Climatronic, an increase in engine idle speed can oc-
cur under certain circumstances in order to ensure adequate heating comfort.
Efficient handling of the cooling system
Read and observe
and on page 116 first.
The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the
interior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order
to allow the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.
For the sake of the environment
Pollutant emissions are also lower when fuel is being saved » page 136.
malfunctions
Read and observe
and on page 116 first.
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than
+5 °C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.
› One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 229 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because
the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 32.
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on/off
122
Radio remote control
123Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and venti-
lation), hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating.
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon
is not lit in the display of
the instrument cluster).
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Auxiliary heating (parking heating)
The auxiliary heating can be used when both when stationary, when the en-
gine is switched off, to preheat the vehicle and also while driving (e.g. during
the heating phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heater functions in connection with the air-conditioning system
or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating also warms up the engine.
The auxiliary heating warms up the coolant by combusting fuel from the vehi-
cle tank. This heats the air flowing into the passenger compartment (if the
blower is turned on).
The heater is switched on or off automatically depending on the ambient con-
ditions to give the best possible conditions for the engine running and the in-
terior heating.
The automatic switching on and off of the heater can be turned off by a spe-
cialist garage.WARNING■ The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-
es) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk
of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. If you want to use the heater, do not park the car in places
where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable materials
such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. - risk of fire.
121Heating and air conditioning
Page 125 of 280
CAUTION■The running auxiliary heater consumes fuel from the vehicle tank and auto-
matically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the
fuel tank, the auxiliary heating switches off.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside
of the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
■
If the auxiliary heating is running, the vehicle battery discharges. If the auxili-
ary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a longer peri-
od, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge the vehi-
cle battery.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating switches on the blower B » Fig. 125 on page 119 orC » Fig. 126 on page 119 only if it has achieved a coolant temperature of ap-
prox. 50 °C.■
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operat-
ing problem.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the aux-
iliary heating, you must maintain the comfort temperature normally selected
by you, leave the fan switched on and leave the air outlet vents in an open po-
sition. It is recommended to put the air flow in the position
or
.
Switching on/off
Fig. 127
Button for switching on/off the system directly on the operating
part of the air conditioning/Climatronic
Read and observe and on page 121 first.
The auxiliary heating can be switched on/off as follows.
Manually switching on Using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Cli-
matronic. The indicator light in the button illuminates » Fig. 127.
By using the radio remote control » page 123.
Manually switching off Using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Cli-
matronic. The indicator light in the button goes out » Fig. 127.
By using the radio remote control » page 123.
After switching the system off, the auxiliary heating will continue running a lit- tle while longer in order to burn the remaining fuel in the auxiliary heater.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump still runs for a short
period.
Switching on automatically
The auxiliary heater is switched on according to the Infotainment set-
tings » Infotainment manual , chapter Vehicle settings .
When automatic switching on is activated, the indicator light in the symbol
button lights up for about 10 seconds after the ignition is turned off.
Switching off automatically
Turning off the auxiliary heating occurs in the following cases.
› The switch-off time set in Infotainment has been achieved
» Operating in-
structions for Infotainment , chapter Vehicle settings .
› The fuel level has reached the reserve area (the warning icon
illuminates).
› The charge state of the vehicle battery has reduced too much

The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote con-
trol. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few
hundred metres. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating on or off, hold the remote control vertically,
with the aerial
