Technical Data
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you also reduce pollutant emissions.Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description
The Climatronic system is a combination of an automatic heating,
fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the
occupants of the car.The Climatronic maintains a constant temp erature fully automatically, once it has
been set. This is achiev ed by automatically varying the temperature of the
outflowing air, the blower stages and the ai r distribution. The system also takes into
account bright sunlight which eliminates the need to alter the settings manually.
The automatic mode ⇒ page 91 ensures maximum wellbeing of the occupants at
all times of the year.
Description of Climatronic system
The cooling operates only if the following conditions are met:•
engine running,
•
outside temperature above +5 °C,
•
the button is not pressed.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in the
vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of the car is enhanced as a result of this
particularly at high outs ide temperatures and a high air humidity. The system
prevents the windows misting up during the cold season of the year.
The heating effect is dependent upon th e coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
It is possible to briefly activate recirc ulated air mode in order to enhance the
cooling effect ⇒ .
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order
to ensure that the heating and cooling systems operate properly. The AC compressor is switched off at
a high coolant temperature in order to
provide cooling at a high load of the engine.
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air condi-
tioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is quite normal
and not an indication of a leak!
If you make a change before switching off the ignition, which differs from the auto-
matic mode, the changed functions remain stored. Only the function “circulating
air” is erased 20 minutes after switching off the ignition.
Recommended setting for all periods of the year:
•
Set the temperature to 22 °C (72 °F).
•
Press the button ⇒page 90, fig. 102 .
•
Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4 so that the air flow is directed slightly upwards
⇒ page 83, fig. 99 .
Switching over between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit
Press and hold the buttons 17 and 9 ⇒page 90, fig. 102. The infor-
mation in the desired temperature measuring unit appears in the display.
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
