be regularly cleared of snow and ice, e.g. free with a de-icing spray.
Rear mirror
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror dimming
79
Exterior mirrors
80WARNING■ Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
WARNINGThe mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath appara-
tus.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.

Basic position of the mirror
Mirror blackout
Mirror with automatic dimming
After starting the engine, the mirror darkens » Fig. 70 -
 automatically.
The mirror dimming is controlled by the light incident on the sensors on the
front and back of the mirror.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Do not attach external devices (e.g. navigation systems) on to the windscreen or in the vicinity of the interior mirror »
.
WARNING■
The illuminated display of an external navigation device can lead to op-
erational faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.■
The automatic dimming mirror only functions smoothly if the light falling
on the sensors is not impaired, e.g. by the rear sun roller blind.

Phone box
When the telephone is inserted into the Phone box, the telephone signal in-
creases in strength by about 20%. This reduces the level of phone battery dis-
charge and the electromagnetic radiation inside the vehicle.›
Place the telephone in the storage compartment B with its back on the in-
duction panel » Fig. 93.
WARNING■
The storage compartment is not a substitute for the ashtray and must al-
so not be used for such purposes – risk of fire!■
The storage compartment must always be closed when driving for safety
reasons.
CAUTION
■ The Phone box cannot be used as an alternative to connecting the tele-
phone with the Infotainment.■
Protective cases or cases around the telephone placed in the storage com-
partment may interfere with the telephone signal strength.
■
Metallic objects such as coins or keys under the telephone can affect the tel-
ephone signal strength.

tings on the air conditioning, depending on the outer climate conditions.
Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or in-
terior air to flow into the storage compartment.

Information on the cooling system
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met
» page 118 .
The warning light below the button 
» Fig. 154 illuminates after activation,
even if not all of the conditions for the function of the cooling system have
been met. The lighting up of the indicator light in the button signals the opera-
tional readiness of the cooling system.
When the air distribution control is turned to position 
the cooling system is
activated.
Note
During operation of the manual air conditioning, an increase in engine idle
speed may occur under certain circumstances in order to ensure sufficient
heating comfort.
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)

Front operating elements
Fig. 156
Rear operating elements
Read and observe and on page 119 first.
The Climatronic in automatic mode ensures the best-possible setting of the
temperature of the out-flowing air, the blower stage and air distribution.
Individual functions can be set and switched on by turning the rotary switch or
by pressing the button in question. When the function is switched on, an indi-
cator lamp lights up inside or below the button.
Some functions can also be operated in the infotainment » Owner´s Manual
Infotainment , chapter Adjustment of the heating and cooling system .

120Using the system

NoteClimatronic is set to the medium setting at the factory.
Air distribution controlRead and observe
and on page 119 first.
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the In-
terior of the vehicle.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.
Switching on and off
›
Press the  button.
When the recirculation mode is activated, the warning light below the button
lights up.
Heating and manual air conditioning system
If the air distribution control is set to position  when the recirculation modes
is switched on, the recirculated-air mode is switched off. Recirculated air mode
can be switched on again from this position by repeatedly pressing the symbol
key .
When the  is switched on and the temperature regulator is turned to the
left, the recirculated-air mode is switched on.
Climatronic
Climatronic may have an air quality sensor for the detection of the pollutant
concentration in the sucked-in air.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the
air quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched on.
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recircula-
ted air mode is automatically switched off.
This automatic on/off switching of the recirculated-air mode can be activated
or deactivated in the Infotainment » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chap-
ter Setting the heating and the cooling system .
If the button  is pressed when the recirculation modes is switched on, the
recirculated-air mode is switched off.
Depending on the moisture conditions in the vehicle interior the air recircula- tion may also shut-down automatically.
WARNINGThe recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may re-
sult 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.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
The automatic activation/deactivation of the air recirculation with Climatronic
only works if the outside temperature is higher than approx. 2 °C.

CAUTION
■
The radio remote control comprises electronic components and must there-
fore be protected against water, severe impacts and direct sunlight.■
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few
hundred metres. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
