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 temperature fully automatically,
once it has been set. This is achieved by automatically varying the
temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribu-
tion. The system also takes into account sunlight which eliminates the
need to alter the settings manually. The automatic mode ⇒ page 106
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 +2 °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 outside 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 the coolant temperature, thus full
heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating
temperature.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated 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 conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This
is quite normal and not an indication of a leak!
Recommended setting for all periods of the year:
•Set the temperature to 22 °C.
•Press the button ⇒page 105, fig. 96 .
•Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4 so that the air flow is directed slightly
upwards ⇒page 108, fig. 97 .
Switching over between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit
Press and hold the buttons and ⇒page 105, fig. 96 . The
information 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 misting. Please familiarize
yourself about how to correctly operate the 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 recircu-
lated 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 minutes
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 recir-
culating air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evap-
orator from the interior 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
considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
•The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the
luggage compartment.
•Using the cooling economically ⇒page 103.
