Heating and air conditioning systemIntroductionDescription and informationIf 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 th e 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 - heating page 99, Climatic  page 99, Climatronic  page 102.
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 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

The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage compart-
ment.

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 avoid 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).

Please refer to the information regarding the recirculated air mode for heating
 page 99 and/or for Climatic page 99 or Climatronic page 102.
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.

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 - the warning light lights up in the button page 97, fig. 101 .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 97, fig. 101. You can also switch recirculated air mode on
again from this setting by repeatedly 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 coolin g 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 operat
es if the button fig. 102 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).
Air at a temperature of about 5°C may flow out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operating. 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.Note

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

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 fu lly automatically a convenience temperature. This is
achieved by automatically varying the temper ature 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:

engine running,

outside temperature above approx. +2°C,

switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to provide
cooling at a high load of the engine.
Recommended setting for all periods of the year:

Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22°C.

Press the button fig. 103 .

Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4  page 96, fig. 99 , so that the air flow is directed
slightly upwards.Note

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 radio* or the navigation system*.

– 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 function 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 pollutants 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.

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).
