Air conditioning system

Air conditioning systemIntroductionDescription and informationIf 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 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 - Climatic
⇒page 108, Climatronic
⇒page 111.
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. 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!
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
•
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
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 avoid 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
evaporator 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).•
Please refer to the information regarding the recirculated air mode for Climatic
⇒ page 108 or for Climatronic
⇒page 111.
Using the air conditioning system economicallyThe compressor on the air co
nditioning system uses po
wer from the engine when
in cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption. It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the inte- rior has been strongly heated through the ef
fect of direct sunlight in order to allow
the heated air to escape. The cooling system should not be switched on while travelling when the window is open. The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching in the cooling system just by switching to fresh air mode.

Technical Data
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you
also reduce pollutant emissions.
Operational problemsIf 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:•
The fuse on the air conditioning system
has blown. Check the fuse, replace it if
necessary
⇒page 256.
•
The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot
⇒page 18.
If you are not able to rectify the operat
ional problem yourself, or if the cooling
capacity decreases, switch the cooling sy
stem off. Contact a specialist garage.
Air outlet ventsFig. 125 Air vents at the front
Fig. 126 Air vents at the rearOpen air outlet vents – Turn the rotary knob to position
.
Close air outlet vents – Turn the rotary knob to position
0.
Redirecting air flow – The horizontal as well as the vertical direction of the air flow is set with
the handle in the middle of the air outlet vents.
The air outlet vents
2, 3 ⇒fig. 125
and
5 ⇒fig. 126
can be closed and opened indi-
vidually. Unwarmed or cooled air will flow out of the opened air outlet vents according to the setting of control dial and the outside atmospheric conditions.
Note
The air outlet vents
1 ensure in the ventilation and cooling mode for a comfortable
(no-draught) ventilation of the interior of
the vehicle, also if the air outlet vents

are closed.

Climatic (semi-automatic air conditioning system)Description The Climatic is a combined cooling and heating system. It makes it possible to optimally control the air
temperature at any season of the
year.Description of the Climatic It is important for your safety and for your driving comfort that the Climatic is oper- ating properly. The cooling only operates if button
⇒fig. 127
is pressed, and the following
conditions are met:•
engine running,
•
outside temperature above approx. +2°C and
•
blower switch switched
on (positions 1 to 4).
Air at a temperature of about 5°C may flow
out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the vehicle, can resu
lt in chills in sensitive persons.
Using the systemFig. 127 Climatic: Control elementsSetting temperature – Turn the control dial

– 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 positi
on 0 in order to switch the blower
off.

Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description The Climatronic system is a combin
ation of an automatic heating,
fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the occupants of the car.The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sunlight which eliminates the need to alte
r the settings manually. The
automatic mode
⇒ page 110 ensures maximum wellbeing of th
e 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 approx. +2°C,
•
switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a hi
gh coolant temperature in order to provide
cooling at a high load of the engine. Recommended setting for al
l periods of the year:
•
Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C.
•
Press the button
⇒fig. 128
.
•
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 vehicles fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with solar cells* the fresh air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun rays 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. 125
.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Note
On vehicles equipped with a
factory-fitted radio* or navi
gation*, the information of
the Climatronic is also shown on the display. This function can be switched off, see operating instructions of the ra
dio* or the navigation system*.
