Setting temperature
The temperature can be set on the Climatronic control unit or in Infotain-
ment » page 116 . In the range between 16 ° C to 29.5 ° C, an automatic temper-
ature control takes place.
At a temperature setting below 16 ° C,  lights up in the temperature display,

Residual heat function 
After switching off the ignition, the engine residual heat is used for heat re-
tention in the vehicle interior. The function can only be switched on with the
ignition off within 30 minutes after stopping the engine. The residual heat
function turns off after about 30 minutes, or when the battery has a low
charge state.

115Heating and ventilation

Operating modes
Automatic mode works in three modes - moderate, medium, and intensive.
Setting of the different modes takes place via the functional surface D
» Fig. 150 on page 116 or » Fig. 151 on page 116 .
After the automatic mode is switched on, Climatronic works in the last selec-
ted mode. The currently selected mode is displayed in the Infotainment dis-
play.
Air distribution control
Read and observe
on page 114 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.
›
To switch on , press the
 button. The warning light below the button lights
up.
›
To switch off , press the
 button again. The warning light below the button
goes out.
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. By pressing the 
button, the air recirculation also in this position can be switched on again.
When the cooling system (  button) is switched on and the temperature reg-
ulator is “turned” to the left, the recirculated-air mode is switched on.
Climatronic
The Climatronic can have a sensor that measures the air recirculation mode
and automatically turns on if there is an increased concentration of pollutants
in the incoming air.
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recircula-
ted air mode is automatically switched off.
Automatically switching the air recirculation function on/off can be adjusted by pressing the button on the Climatronic and by subsequently pressing the
function surfaces 
→
automatic air recirculation
in the Infotainment screen. Au-
tomatic switching on / off works at a temperature above 2 ° C.
A shut-off of the air recirculation function takes place automatically by press-
ing the  button, possibly depending on the moisture conditions in the vehi-
cle interior.
WARNINGThe air recirculation cannot be switched on for a longer period of time be-
cause there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may result
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as the windows mist up, turn the air
recirculation mode off immediately - there is a risk of accident!
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).
