Setting temperature
– Turn the control dial ⇒fig. 110 to the right in order to increase the
temperature.
– Turn the control dial to the left in order to increase the tempera- ture.
Controlling blower
– Turn the blower switch into one of the positions, 1 to 4, in order to switch the blower on.
– Turn the blower switch into position 0 in order to switch the blower off.
– Pressing button - causes the recirculating air system ⇒page 99 to be switched on. Control for air distribution
– You can adjust the direction of the air flow
⇒page 99 using air distri-
bution regulator .
Switching cooling on and off
– Press the button ⇒ fig. 110. The warning light lights up in the
button.
– When you again press the switch , the cooling system is switched off. The warning light in the button goes out.
Rear window heater
– Press button . Further information ⇒ page 63.
Auxiliary heating
– Press the button in order to directly switch on/off the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation. Further information
⇒page 106.
The set temperature will be automatically maintained other than when the
control dial is on the extreme right or extreme left position:
•Extreme right position - full heating;
•Extreme left position - full cooling;
•The blower should aways be on to prevent the windows from misting up.
Note
•The whole heat output will be needed to unfrost the windscreen and side
windows. No warm air will be fed to the footwell. This can lead to restriction of the
heating comfort.
•The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage
compartment.
•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

Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press the button ⇒page 97, fig. 110 the warning light lights
up in the button.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Press again the button - the warning light in the button goes out.
The recirculated air mode is switched off au tomatically if the air distribution control
is in position  ⇒ page 97, fig. 110 . You can also switch recirculated air mode
on again from this setting by repeatedly pressing button .
WARNING
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 acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.

The air conditioning system101
Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
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 hi gh 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!
Recommended setting for al l periods of the year:
•Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C.
•Press the button ⇒page 102, fig. 113 .
•Move the air outlet vents 2 and 3 so that the air flow is directed slightly upwards.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off*
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air blower
is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun ray's are sufficient after
switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof deliver power for
the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be opened
⇒ page 105, fig. 114 .
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.
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 ev aporator of the air conditioning system.
This produces a permanent odour when th e 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 equi pped 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 instructio ns for radio. This function cannot be
switched off during Navigation*.

Switching cooling on and off
Switching cooling on and off
– Press the button . The warning light lights up in the button.
– When you again press the switch , the cooling system is switched
off. The warning light in the button go es 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 button 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 butt on which indicates the possibility to
set differing temperatures for the left and right side, goes out.
You can set the interior temperature between +18°C and +26°C. The interior
temperature is regulated automatically with in 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
the numerical scale. In both limit positio ns the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. Th e temperature is not controlled in this
case. Lengthy and uneven distribution
of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperat ure, for example when getting out of the
vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Press again the button or the button - the warning light in
the button goes out.
WARNING
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 acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
