The automatic mode is used in orde r to maintain a constant tempera-
ture and to demist the windows in the interior of the car.Switching automatic mode on– Set a temperature between +18 °C and +26 °C.
– Move the air outlet vents  3 and 4   page 96, fig. 99 , so that the air flow is directed 
slightly upwards.
– Press the button  . In the right or left top corner a warning light lights up,  depending on which unit was last selected.
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 Climatronic 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 noise 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.

If you switch off the blower, the Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the button   when the respective number 
of warning lights come on.
WARNING
“Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce atten-
tion levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident 
increases.
Do not switch the Climatronic system off for longer than necessary.
Switch the Climatronic system on as soon as the windows mist up.

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 engine is also preheated when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is switched 
off, if the auxiliary heating is switched on.
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).

Using the system
So that the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) func-
tions according to your expectations, it is necessary to carry out the 
basic setting before its programming.Basic setting– On the information display, select in the  Main menu the menu point 
Aux. heating .
– In the menu  Aux. heating select the menu point  Weekday and set the current day.
– By selecting the menu point  Back, you will reach in the menu  Aux. heating.
– In the menu  Aux. heating select the menu point  Running time and set the desired 
running time in steps of 5 minutes. The running time  can be 10 to 60 minutes.
– By selecting the menu point  Back, you will reach in the menu  Aux. heating.
– In the menu  Aux. heating select the menu point  Mode.
– In the menu  Mode select the desired mode  Heating for or Ventilation for .ProgrammingFor the programming of the auxiliary heating  (auxiliary heating and ventilation) in the 
menu Aux. heating (Aux. heating)  there are three pre-set times:
Pre-set time 1 
Pre-set time 2 
Pre-set time 3 
In each pre-set time, the day and the time  (hour and minute) can be set for switching 
on the auxiliary heating and/or ventilation.
An empty position can be fo und between Sunday and Monday  when selecting the day. 
If this empty position is selected, the activation is performed without taking into 
account the day.
If you leave the pre-set  menu by selecting the menu  Back or do not make changes on 
the display for longer than 10 seconds, the set values are stored, but the pre-set time 
is not active. Both other pre-set times can be prog
rammed and stored in the same way.
If you select the menu  Activate after setting the desired values, appears in the display 
Pre-set time (weekday, hours, minute) activated.  and the set pre-set time is active.
Only one programmed pre-set time can be active.
The last programmed pre-set time remains active.
After the auxiliary heating activates at the set time, it is necessary to pre-set a time 
again.
Changing the active pre-set time is carried out after selecting the menu point  Activate 
in the menu  Aux. heating (auxiliary heating)  by selecting a pre-set time.
The prerequisite for the correct switching on of the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating 
and ventilation) according to the programmed  pre-set time is the correct setting of the 
current time and the weekday  page 107.
If the system is running, a warning light in th e button for direct switching on/off of the 
auxiliary heating   lights up.
The running system deactivates after expiration of the operating period or is deacti-
vated earlier by pressing the button for direct switching on/off of the auxiliary heating 
  page 106.
A random pre-set time can be deac tivated by selecting the menu point  Deactivate in 
the menu  Activate.
After selecting the menu  Fac to r y  s e tt ing in the menu Aux. heating , it is possible to 
return to the factory setting.

Technical Data
You should not switch on any major elec trical components during the heating 
period otherwise  the vehicle battery will  be drained unnecessarily.
 - start engine
Applies to all models:
Position 
To   lock the steering , with the ignition key withdrawn, turn the steering wheel until the 
steering locking pin is heard to  engage. You should always lock the steering as a general 
rule if you leave your vehicle. This acts as  a deterrent against possible theft of your 
vehicle  .
Position 
Move the steering wheel back and forward a little if the ignition key cannot, or cannot 
easily be turned into this position, in order to release the steering lock.
Position 
The engine is started in this position. At the same time, major electrical components 
are switched off for short periods. The ignition key moves back into position   when 
one releases the key.
The ignition key must be turned back into  position   each time before starting the 
engine again. The starter repeat lock in th e ignition lock prevents the starter being 
engaged when the engine is r unning and thus getting damaged.
Ignition key withdrawal lock (automatic gearbox)
You can only withdraw the ignition key after switching off the ignition if the selector 
lever is in position  P.
WARNING
When driving, the ignition key must always be in the position   (ignition 
switched on) without the engine running. This position is indicated by the 
warning lights coming on. If this is not the case, it could result in unexpected 
locking of the steering wh eel - risk of accident!
Only remove the ignition key from the ignition lock when the vehicle has 
come to a standstill (by applying the handbrake or moving the selector lever 
into the position P). The  steering lock can engage imme diately - risk of acci-
dent!
Always withdraw the ignition key if you are going to leave the vehicle, even 
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle. 
The children might otherwise start the engi ne or switch on electrical equipment 
(e.g. power windows) - risk of accident or injury!
Starting the engineGeneral
You can only start the engine only using an original ignition key.
Place the gearshift lever into neutral (or  place the selector lever to the position P  or 
N  in the case of an automatic gearbox) and put on the handbrake firmly before starting 
the engine.
Before starting, it is necessary to depres s the clutch pedal and to hold it pressed 
until the engine starts. If you start the engi ne without depressing the clutch pedal, the 
engine does not start and a message is show n in the display of the instrument cluster 
to remind you of th e necessity to depress the clutch pedal.
Let go of the key as soon as the engine starts otherwise there may be damage to 
the starter.
The engine running noises may louder at first be louder for a short time after starting 
the cold engine until oil pressure can be  built up in the hydraulic valve clearance 
compensation. This is quite normal  and is not an operating problem.
If the engine does not start ...
You can use the battery of anothe r vehicle as a jump-start aid page 228.
It is only possible to tow-start vehicles fitt ed with a manual gearbox. The tow-starting 
distance must not be more than 50 metres  page 231.

Technical Data
The brake booster only operates when  the engine is running. Greater phys-
ical effort for braking is required when en gine is switched off. Because if you do 
not stop as normal, this can cause an accident and severe injuries.Caution
you should not switch the engine off right  away at the end of your journey after the 
engine has been operated for a lengthy period  at high loads but should be allowed it 
to run at idling speed for about 2 minutes.  This prevents any accumulation of heat 
when the engine is switched off.
Note
The radiator fan may continue running fo r a further 10 minutes or so after the 
engine and the ignition have  been switched off. The coolant fan may, however, also 
switch on again after some time if the co olant temperature rises because of an accu-
mulation of heat in the engine or if the engine is warm and the engine compartment is 
additionally heated  by strong sunlight.
This is why particular care is required  when carrying out any work in the engine 
compartment  page 204, “Working in the engine compartment”.
Shifting (manual gearbox)
Shift into reverse only when the vehicle is  stationary. Depress the clutch pedal and hold 
it fully depressed. Wait a mo ment before engaging reverse gear in order to avoid any 
shift noises.
The reversing lights will come on once reverse gear is engaged, provided the ignition is 
on.
WARNING
Never engage the reverse gear when driving - risk of accident!
Note
One should not lay the hand on the shift lever while driving the vehicle. The pres-
sure of the hand will be transferred to the gearshift forks in the gearbox. This can, over 
a period of time, lead to early wear of the gearshift forks.
Depress the clutch pedal full y when changing gears, in order to avoid unnecessary 
wear and damage.
HandbrakeApplying the handbrake– Pull the handbrake lever up fully.

Activating
The parking aid is activated automatically when 
reverse gear is engaged and the igni-
tion is turned on. This is confirmed by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating
The parking aid is deactivated  by removing the reverse gear.
WARNING
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention and 
it is always the driver's re sponsibility to take care when parking the vehicle or 
carrying out similar manoeuvres.
You should therefore satisfy yourself, befo re reversing, that there is no small 
obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., behind your vehicle. 
Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces  of certain objects and types of 
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the parking aid. Thus, these objects or 
people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking 
aid.Note
The parking aid does not operate if you are towing a trailer (applies to models 
which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after switching the ignition on and 
engaging reverse gear, and there is no obstac le close to your vehicle, this indicates a 
system fault. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate 
properly.
Front and rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warning of  obstacles in front and behind the 
vehicle.Fig. 110  Activating the parking aid /  detection range of the front sensorsThe audible parking aid determines the distan ce between the front or rear bumper and 
an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The sensors are integrated in the front 
and rear bumper. The signal tones for the fr ont parking aid sound higher as standard 
than for the rear parking aid. The tones of the parking aid can be adapted in the menu 
of the information display*  page 26.
Range of sensors
The distance warning begins at a distance  of about 120°cm from the obstacle in front 
of the vehicle (area    fig. 110 ) and about 160 cm from the obstacle behind the 
vehicle (area  )  page 112, fig. 109 . The interval between the warning signals 
becomes shorter as the clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from  a distance of approx. 30 cm (area  ) - danger area. 
From this moment on do not continue driving!  If the vehicle is equipped with a 
factory-fitted towing device*, the border of  the danger area starts - continuous tone - 
5 cm further behind the vehicle. The vehicle can be extended through an installed 
detachable towing device.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted  radio* or navigation system*, the distance 
to the obstruction is shown graphically in the display. On vehicles with a factory-fitted 
towing device, the rear sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The driver is 
informed about this by a graphic display (vehic le towing a trailer) in the radio* or the 
navigation* display. The radio* or navigation  system*, which is factory-fitted, can be

Technical Data
The external sound source of the park  assist and the parking aid can be 
disruptively influenced and under unfavourable conditions, objects or people 
cannot be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.Caution
If other vehicles are parked  behind or on the kurb, the park assist guides your 
ve hicle be yond the kurb or onto it. Make s ure that the whee ls  or the whe el rims  of yo ur 
vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
You should satisfy yourself before parking that there is no small obstacle, such as a 
rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front  or behind your vehicle. Such an obstacle 
might not be within the range detected by the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or st ructures of certain objects such as wire 
mesh fences, powder snow etc..., ca nnot be recognised by the system.
The evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure depends on the 
circumference of the wheels. The system does not function correctly if your vehicle is 
mounted with wheels of non-permissible  size, snow chains or a temporary spare 
wheel (in order to reach the nearest workshop). If the tyres other than those excepted 
by the manufacturer are mounted, the resulting position of the vehicle in the parking 
space can differ slightly. The parking assistant system automatically performs the 
correction of the wheel circumference when driving.
The accuracy of the evaluation for the parking space can be influenced by the 
incorrectly determined outside temperature if  the later is influenced by the thermal 
radiation of the engine i.e for stop and go in a traffic jam.
In order to avoid damaging th e sensors while cleaning with high-pressure cleaners 
or steam jets, the sensors must only be  directly sprayed for short periods while a 
minimum distance of 10 cm must be observed.Note
A component of the park assist is the front and rear parking aid*.
The electronic stability programme (ESP*) must always be switched on for the 
parking procedure.
Only the front parking aid operates if you are towing a trailer (applies only to 
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*). This is why it is not possible to 
park backwards with the help of the  park assist when towing a trailer.
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate 
properly.
Switch on display of the park a ssist in the information display*Fig. 111  Switching on the park assist / inform ation display: Finding a suitable parking spaceSwitch on display of the park assist in the information display*– Press the button fig. 111 .
– Drive past the parking row up to maximum 30 km/h and with a distance of 0.5 m to  1.5 m  fig. 111 .
Operate the turn signal for the driver's side if you wish to park on this side of the road. 
In the information display* the search area  for the parking space is indicated on the 
driver's side.
If you press the button at a speed greate r than 30 km/h and less than 50 km/h, the 
message indicating that the speed for detecting the space is exceeded will be 
displayed in the information display of the in strument cluster. If the speed drops below
