•
Please do not place anything on top of the dash panel. Such objects
might slide or fall down when driving
(when accelerating or cornering) and
may distract you from concentrating on the traffic situation - risk of acci-dent!•
Ensure that when driving no objects from the centre console of from
other storage possibilities may get into
the footwell of the driver. You would
then no longer be able to apply the br
akes, operate the clut
ch or accelerator
- risk of accident!Storage compartment on the front passenger sideOpening and closing the storage compartment on the front passenger side – Press the button

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.

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
