only in this mode the lower blower spee
d. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air condi- tioning system is reduced particularly
if the vehicle is
fully occupied.
By pressing again the button , yo

tion with the control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control

WARNING
•
“Stale air” may result 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.•
Do not switch the Climatronic system off for longer than necessary.
•
Switch the Climatronic system on as soon as the windows mist up.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)*Description and important information The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) heats or supplies the interior of the vehicle with fresh air independent of the engine.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) func
tions in connection with the Climatic or
Climatronic. It can be used when stationary, when engi
ne is switched off for preheating of the
vehicle as well as while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the engine). The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
warms up the coolant during the combus-
tion of fuel from the vehicle tank. The cool
ant warms up the air, which (if the blower
speed is not set to zero) flows
into the occupant compartment.
Auxiliary ve
ntilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air
to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively decreased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
WARNING
•
The auxiliary heating must never be op
erated in closed rooms - risk of
poisoning!•
The auxiliary heating must not be runn
ing during refueling - risk of fire.
•
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. Therefore do not place th
e vehicle, if you wish to operate the
auxiliary heating, in su
ch a way that the exhaust gases of the auxiliary
heating can come easily into contact
with inflammable materials (e.g. dry
grass) or easily inflammable su
bstances (e.g. fuel run out).

Note
•
If the auxiliary heating runs, the fuel
consumption comes from
the vehicle tank.
Therefore the auxiliary heating should not be operated, if there is very little fuel in the tank.•
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating,
which is located on the underside of
the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.•
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is
running, the vehicle battery discharges.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation
has been operated several times over a
longer period, the vehicle must be driven
a few kilometers in order to recharge the
vehicle battery.•
The auxiliary heating only sw
itches the blower on, if
it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.•
At low outside temperatures, this can resu
lt in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment.This
is quite normal and is not an operating
problem.•
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short
period.•
The auxiliary heating and ventilation does not switch on or comes on, if the
vehicle battery indicate
s a low loading state.
•
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) does not switch on, if the following was
shown in the information display or before switching off the ignition:
Please refuel!
(Please refuel!)
.
•
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in
order to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.•
So that warm air can flow into the vehi
cle interior after switching on the auxil-
iary heating, you must maintain the te
mperature normally selected by you (we
recommend 22°C). It is recommended to
put the air flow
in the position
.
•
On vehicles with DPF (diesel particle filter) the warm coolant heats up the
engine.
Direct switching on/offThe auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ve
ntilation) can be switched on or off at
any time
directly
using the button on the op
erating part of the Climatic
⇒ fig. 129
or on the operating part of the Climatronic.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is not switched off earlier, it switches off automatically after the expiration of
the set operating period, in the menu
Running

In each pre-set time, the day and the time (hour and minute) can be set for switching on the auxiliary heating and/or ventilation. An empty position can be found between
Sunday and Monday when selecting the
day. If this empty position is selected,
the activation is performed without taking
into account the day. If you leave the pre-set menu by selecting the menu

Radio remote control The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) can be switched on or off with the remote control.– For switching on, press the button . – For switching off, press the button .The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control. The receiver is located in
the interior of the car.
If the battery is properly charged, the ef
fective range is up to 600 m. For switching
on or off the auxiliary heating, hold the
remote control vertically with the antenna
⇒fig. 131
towards the top. You must not cover over the antenna with the
fingers or the palm of th
e hand. Obstacles between the radio remote control and
the vehicle, bad weather co
nditions and a weaker batt
ery can clearly reduce the
range. The auxiliary heating can only be switched
on or off with the radio remote control,
if the distance between the radio remote
control and the vehicle is at least 2 m.
Warning light in the radio remote control The warning light in the radio remote control
⇒fig. 131
indicates after a keystroke
if the remote control signal was received
by the auxiliary heating and if the battery
is adequately charged.
Caution
There are electronic components in the radio remote control, protect the remote control against water, severe
shocks and direct sun rays.

Caution
•
Before refuelling it is necessary to switch off the auxiliary heating system (auxil-
iary heating and ventilation) *.•
Remove any fuel which has spilled onto the paintwork of your vehicle immedi-
ately - risk of paint damage!•
Vehicles fitted with catalytic converter sh
ould never be allowed to let the fuel
tank to run completely empty. An irregular
supply of fuel to the engine can result in
misfiring and unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system, which may result in overheating and damage to the catalytic converter.•
Make sure that the valve is not pressed into the filler tube when inserting the
pump nozzle into the filler tube. Otherwis
e you are unintentionally filling up the
volume, which in case of heat can cause an
expansion of the fuel. This can lead to
an overflow of fuel or damage
to parts of the fuel reservoir.

T h e f u e l t a n k i s f u l l j u s t a s s o o n a s t h
e pump nozzle switches off for the first time,
provided the nozzle has been operated properly. Do not continue refuelling - otherwise the expansion volume is filled up.
