Recirculated 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
⇒page 99, fig. 109
the warning light lights up in the
button.
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 99, fig. 109
. 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.Using the air conditioning system economicallyThe compressor on the air conditioning syst
em uses power 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 interior
has been strongly heated through the effect
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.
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 233.
•
The cooling system has switched off auto
matically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot
⇒page 17.
If you are not able to rectify the operational
problem yourself, or if the cooling capacity
decreases, switch the cooling system off. Contact a specialist garage.Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description The Climatronic system is a combination of an automatic heating, fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the occu-pants of the car.The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sunlight which elim- inates the need to alter the settings manually. The
automatic mode
⇒page 103
ensures maximum wellbeing of the occupants at all times of the year. Description of Climatronic system The cooling operates only if the following conditions are met:•

outside temperature above approx. +2°C,
•
switched on.
If 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 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 c
oolant 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
⇒page 104.
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. The AC compressor is switched off at a hi
gh coolant temperature in order to provide
cooling at a high load of the engine. 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! Recommended setting for all periods of the year:•
Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C.
•
Press the button
⇒page 103, fig. 110
.
•
Move the air outlet vents
3 and
4, so that the air flow is
directed slightly upwards.
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
•
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 minut
es 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.•
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 conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable
effort and expense (replacement of
compressor).•
The used air streams out through the air
removal openings in the luggage compart-
ment.•
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted
radio* or navigation*, the information
of the Climatronic is also shown on the display. This function can be switched off, see operating instructions of the ra
dio* or the navigation system*.

If the warning light in the top right corner of the button lights up, the Climatronic operates in “HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of the Climatronic. When pressing again the button , the Cl
imatronic changes into the “LOW” mode
and the warning light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking
into account the no
ise level, this is
more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air conditioning system is reduced particularly if th
e vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing again the button , yo
u change into the “HIGH” mode.
The automatic mode is switched off by pres
sing the button for the air distribution or
increasing or decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is nevertheless regulated.

– When you again press the switch , the cooling system is switched off. The
warning light in the button goes out. Only
the function of the ventilation remains
active when no lower temperature than the outside temperature can be reached.
Setting temperatureYou can separate the interior temperature for the left and right side separately. – You can set the temperature for both sides
after switching on the ignition with the
control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial . The
warning light in the button lights up,
this indicates that differing tempera-
tures for the left and right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button lights up, the temperature for both sides cannot be set with the control dial . You can
reinitiate this functi
on by pressing the
button . The warning light in the button which indicates the possibility to set differing temperatures for the left and right side, goes out. You can set the interior temperature between +18°C and +26°C. The interior temper- ature is regulated automatically within this
range. If you chose a temperature lower
than +18°C, a blue symbol lights up at the
start of the numerical
scale. If you chose a
temperature higher than +26°C, a red symbol lights up at the end of the numerical scale. In both limit positions the Climatroni
c operates at maximum cooling or heating
capacity, respectively. The temperatur
e is not controlled in this case.
Lengthy and uneven distri
bution of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the leg
area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Recirculated air mode In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution control is switched on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn-in air.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunn
el or when standing in a traffic jam. If
a considerable increase in concentration of
pollutants is recognized by the air quality
sensor, when the automatic air distribution co
ntrol is switched on, the air distribution
control will temporarily be switched off. If
the concentration of po
llutants decreases to
the normal level, the air distribution control
is automatically switched off so that fresh
air can be guided into
the vehicle interior.
Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button repeatedly
until the warning light on the left side of the
button lights up.
Switch on automatic air distribution control– Press the button repeatedly
until the warning light on the right side of the
button lights up.
Switch off automatic air distribution control temporarily– If the air quality sensor does not switch on
the air distribution control automatically
when there is a nauseating smell, you can
switch it on yourself by pressing the
button *. The warning light lights up
in the button on the left side.
Switching recirculated air mode off– Press the button or press the button repetitively, until the warning
lights in the button go out.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)*Description and important information The auxiliary heating (auxiliary he
ating and ventilation) heats or
supplies the interior of the vehicl
e with fresh air independent of the
engine.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions 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 (only during the heating phase of the engine). The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) wa
rms up the coolant during the combustion
of fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant warms up the air, which (if the blower speed is not set to zero) flows into the occupant compartment. Auxiliary ventilation 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 the vehicl
e, if you wish to operate the auxiliary
heating, in such a way that the exhaust
gases of the auxiliary heating can come
easily into contact with inflammable materi
als (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflam-
mable substances (e.g. fuel run out).
Note
If the auxiliary heating runs, the fuel co
nsumption comes from the vehicle tank. The
auxiliary heating automatically controls the filling level in the fuel tank. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the fuel tank, the function of the auxiliary heating is blocked.•
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 ba
ttery discharges. If
the auxiliary heating and ventilation has be
en operated several times over a longer
period, the vehicle must be driven a few ki
lometers in order to recharge the vehicle
battery.•
The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.•
At low outside temperatures, this can result
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 no
t switch on or comes on, if the vehicle
battery indicates a low loading state.•
The auxiliary heating (auxilia
ry heating) does not switch on, if the following was
shown in the information display or before switching off the ignition:
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 in
to the vehicle after switching on the auxiliary heating,
you must maintain the temperature normally selected by you (we recommend 22°C for Climatic, Climatronic and for the heat
ing turn the regulator A to the right
⇒ page 96, fig. 108
). It is recommended to put the air flow in the position
.
•
On vehicles with DPF (diesel particle filt
er) the warm coolant heats up the engine.
Direct switching on/offThe auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and vent
ilation) can be switched on or off at any
time
directly
using the button on the operating part of the Climatic, Climatronic or
heating
⇒fig. 111
.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is not
switched off earlier, it switches off auto-
matically after the expiration of the set operating period, in the menu
