The window can be operated mechanically by means of the handle attached to
the respective door panel.
Depending on equipment the windows can be operated electrically from the
following locations; the window in the front doors or all windows from the
driver's seat and also via the buttons for the windows in the passenger door or
the rear doors.
WARNINGThe windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of injury!
CAUTION
■ In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the ice
» page 136 , Windows and external mirrors and only then operate the electri-
cal power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power
window mechanism could be damaged.■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehi-
cle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.
Note
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened,
dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind
noise is more at certain speeds.Mechanical window lefterFig. 43

Opening›
Lightly press the appropriate button down and hold it until the window has
moved into the desired position.
Releasing the button causes the window to stop.
The driver's window can be completely opened automatically by briefly press-
ing the button as far as it will go. When pressed again or after withdrawing the
button, the window will stop.
Closing
›
Pull gently on the top edge of the corresponding button and hold until the
window has moved into the desired position.
Releasing the button causes the window to stop.
The driver's window can also be fully closed automatically by pulling the but-
ton up to the stop. When drawn again or after pressing the button, the win-
dow will stop.
Disable / enable the buttons in the rear doors
›
Press the button

» Fig. 44 .
When the buttons are disabled in the rear doors, the warning light  in the
button

illuminates.
The window lift mechanism is equipped with protection against overheating.
Repeated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to
overheat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a
short time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the over-
heating protection has cooled down.
ABCDEWARNING■ Power windows in the driver's door and the rear doors are equipped with
a force limiter » page 58. If there is an obstacle, the closing process is
stopped and the window goes down by several centimetres. However, the
windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury!■
If the rear seats are accommodating people who are not completely inde-
pendent, e.g. children, it is recommended that for safety reasons the but-
tons in the rear doors are disabled with the button
E
.
CAUTION
■ In the winter, ice on the window may cause greater resistance as the win-
dow is closed. The window will stop and open again by several centimetres.■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.
■
Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.

Switching on›
Press button 
or 
» Fig. 63 .
Pressing once switches the seat heating on at its maximum level - Level 2.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the intensity of the heating is reduced
until it is switched off.
The level of the seat heating is indicated by the number of illuminated warning
lights in the switch.
WARNINGIf you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through
medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we rec-
ommend not to use the seat heating. There may be difficult to heal burns. If
the seat heating is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your
journey when driving long distances, so that the body can recuperate from
the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate
your specific condition.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed to avoid damage to the seats.■Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■
Do not turn on any of the seat heaters if seats are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the relevant seat heating if the seats have objects attached
to or placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc.
■
When there are additional protective covers or protective covers mounted on
each of the seats, do not turn the seat heating on.
Note
■ If the heaters for the rear seats are set to their highest intensity - level 2,
they are automatically switched down to level 1 after 10 minutes.■
If the on-board voltage decreases, the seat heating switches off automati-
cally » page 153 , Automatic load deactivation .

After the cooling system is switched off, only the ventilation function remains active, whereby the lowest temperature that can be reached is the outside
temperature.
Setting temperature
The temperature can be set between +16 °C and +29 °C. The temperature is
regulated automatically within this range.
If  illuminates in the display, then the Climatronic is working with
maximum
cooling (temperature setting below +16°C).
If  illuminates in the display, then the Climatronic is working with

WARNING■
Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.■Switch on the Climatronic system as soon as the windows mist up.
CAUTION
Do not cover the interior temperature sensor 11 » Fig. 108 as this could impair
the functioning of the Climatronic. 101192Using the system

Note■As soon as the windscreen mists up, press the symbol button . Press the
 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.
Climatronic - automatic mode
Read and observe
and on page 91 first.
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature andto demist the windows in the interior of the car.
To switch on press the

» Fig. 108
on page 92 ).
Automatic mode can be switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air
distribution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is
nevertheless regulated.
Air distribution control
Read and observe
and on page 91 first.
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the In-terior of the vehicle.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.
Switching on/off
›
Press the  button.
Heating and manual air conditioning system
If the air distribution control is set to position  when the recirculation modes
is switched on, the recirculated-air mode is switched off. Recirculated air mode
can be switched on again from this setting by repeatedly pressing the symbol
button .
Climatronic
With the recirculated-air mode switched on the symbol  appears in the dis-
play.
The symbol  disappears from the display after turning off the air recircula-
tion.
Depending on the moisture conditions in the vehicle interior the air recircula-
tion may shut-down automatically.WARNINGThe recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may re-
sult in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
If recirculated air mode is switched on for around 15 minutes, the symbol 
will begin to flash in the Climatronic display as a sign that the recirculated air
mode is switched on long-term. If the recirculated air mode is not switched off,
the symbol flashes for around 5 minutes.93Heating and ventilation

Automatic Braking
If the driver fails to respond to the acute warning, the system starts to apply
the brakes automatically with increasing stopping power in several stages.
Brake assist
If the driver brakes inadequate with an impending collision, the system auto-
matically increases braking force.
The braking assistance only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly
pressed down.
Note
■ If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in
the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the
normal pedal stroke.■
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the accel-
erator pedal or by steering intervention.
