– Tilt the lock to close the
flap and press flap close.
Front seat armrest with storage compartment*Fig. 101 Armrest: Storage compartment / cooling of storage compartment
The armrest is adjustable for height and length.Opening storage compartment– Open the lid of the armrest in the direction of arrow
⇒fig. 101
.
Closing storage compartment– Open the lid up to the stop, then you can fold it downwards.Setting height– First of all fold the lid to the bottom and li
ft it in the direction of arrow into one of
the 4 fixed positions.
Adjusting in forward/back direction– Push the lid into the desired position.Opening air inlet– Pull the lock in upward direction
⇒fig. 101
.
Closing air inlet– Push the lock as far as the stop downwards. On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the storage compartment is equipped with a lockable inlet for thermally treated (warmed-up) air. At open air supply, air flows into the storage with a temperature which is as high as the one out of the air outlet nozzles, depending on temperature setting. The air inlet in the storage compar
tment is connected to position
 through adjust-
ment of the control dial for air distribution. This position causes the maximum amount of air to flow into the storage compartmen
t (depending on the rotary regulator posi-
tion for the fan). You can use the storage compartment, for
example, to temper drinks cans, etc.
If you do not use the air inlet in the storage compartment, the end cover should always be kept closed.

96HeatingUsing the system The heating system delivers air into the interior of the vehicle and warms it as required.Fig. 108 Heating: Control elementsSetting temperature– Turn the control dial
⇒fig. 108
to the right in order to increase the temperature.
– Turn the control dial to the left in order to increase the temperature.Controlling blower– Turn the blower switch into one of the po
sitions, 1 to 4, in order to switch the
blower on.
– Turn the blower switch into position 0 in order to switch the blower off. – If you wish to shut off the fresh air supply
, use the button - recirculated air mode
⇒
.
Control for air distribution– You can adjust the direction of the air
flow using the air distribution control
⇒ page 95.
Rear window heater– Press button . Further information
⇒page 62, “Rear window heater”.
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)*– Press the button in order to directly switch on/off the auxiliary heating (auxiliary
heating and ventilation). Further information
⇒page 105, “Auxiliary heating (auxil-
iary heating and ventilation)*”.
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order to ensure that the heating and ventilation systems operate properly. The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. The blower should aways be on to prevent the windows from misting up.
WARNING
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 atten- tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air mo
de off as soon as the windows begin
misting up.
Note
•
The whole heat output will be needed to unfrost the windscreen and side windows.
No warm air will be fed to the footwell. Th
is can lead to restriction of the heating
comfort.•
The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage
compartment.

Heating and air conditioning system
98Recirculated air mode In recirculated air mode air is sucked
out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air
outside the vehicle from getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a
tunnel or when standi
ng in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button
⇒page 96, fig. 108
.
Switching recirculated air mode off– Press again the button - the warning light in the button goes out. The recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution control is in position
 ⇒page 96, fig. 108
. You can also switch recirculated air mode on
again from this setting by re
peatedly pressing button .
WARNING
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 atten-tion 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.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 operating
properly.
The cooling only operates if button
⇒page 99, fig. 109
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).
If the cooling system is switched on, th
e temperature and air humidity drops in the
vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of the car is enhanced as a result of this partic- ularly 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 the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. It is possible to briefly activate recirculat
ed air mode in order to enhance the cooling
effect
⇒
.
Air at a temperature of about 5°C may flow
out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operatin
g. 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 result in chills in sensitive persons. 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 be
low 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 misting. Please familiarize yourself about how to correctly operate
the 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 mo
de off as soon as the windows begin
misting up.

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 interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evapor
ator of the air conditioning system. This
produces a permanent odour when the air co
nditioning system is operating which can
only be eliminated through considerable
effort and expense (replacement of
compressor).Using the systemFig. 109 Climatic: Control elementsSetting temperature– Turn the control dial

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 minu
tes at the highest blower stage - also
during the cold season of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a window for a short time.
