CD108Using the system

If a temperature lower than +18 °C is selected, a blue symbol  lights up at the
start of the numerical scale.
If a temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, the 
symbol lights up at the
start of the numerical scale.
At both end positions, Climatronic runs at maximum cooling/heating output
and the temperature is automatically not regulated.
Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adap-
ted to suit your particular needs.
If the blower speed is reduced to a minimum, Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the symbol button  when the re-
spective number of indicator lights come on.
Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to demist the windows in the interior of the car.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button  lights up, the Cli-
matronic operates in “HIGH”-mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of
the Climatronic.
Upon pressing the  button again, the Climatronic switches to “LOW”-mode
and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses on-
ly 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 the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button  again, it is changed to “HIGH”-mode.
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air dis- tribution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is
nevertheless regulated.WARNING■ Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.■Switch on the Climatronic system as soon as the windows mist up.Note■ Do not stick anything onto or cover the interior temperature sensorB » Fig. 113 as this could impair the functioning of the Climatronic.■
If the windscreen mists up, press the symbol button 
. Press the button
 once the windscreen has demisted.
■
During operation of the Climatronic, an increase in engine idle speed can oc-
cur under certain circumstances in order to ensure adequate heating comfort.
■
For vehicles with factory-fitted radio the Climatronic information also ap-
pears on its display. This function can be switched off, see » Radio manual .
Efficient handling of the cooling system
Read and observe
and on page 104 first.
The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when incooling mode, which will affect 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 on if the windows are open.
For the sake of the environment
Pollutant emissions are also lower when fuel is being saved » page 140.
malfunctions
Read and observe
and on page 104 first.
If 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.
› One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 214 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because
the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 31.
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Radio remote control
111
Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and venti-
lation), hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating.
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon  is not lit in the display of
the instrument cluster).
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 de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The auxiliary heating can be used when both when stationary, when the en-
gine is switched off, to preheat the vehicle and also while driving (e.g. during
the heating phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heater functions in connection with the air-conditioning system
or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating also warms up the engine.
The auxiliary heating warms up the coolant by combusting fuel from the vehi-
cle tank. This heats the air flowing into the passenger compartment (if the
blower is turned on).
The heater is switched on or off automatically depending on the ambient con-
ditions to give the best possible conditions for the engine running and the in-
terior heating.
For vehicles with gasoline engines, the automatic switching on and off of the
heater can be disabled in a specialist workshop.
WARNING■ The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-
es) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk
of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. If you want to use the heater, do not switch off the car in pla-
ces where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. -. risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ The running auxiliary heater consumes fuel from the vehicle tank and auto-
matically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the
fuel tank, the auxiliary heating switches off.■
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 is running, the vehicle battery discharges. If the auxili-
ary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a longer peri-
od, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge the vehi-
cle battery.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
Note
■ 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 operat-
ing problem.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the aux-
iliary heating, you must maintain the comfort temperature normally selected
by you, leave the fan switched on and leave the air outlet vents in an open po-
sition. It is recommended to put the air flow in the position 
or 

A phone phonebook is part of the hands-free system. This phone phonebook
can be used depending on the type of mobile phone.
After the telephone's first connection to the hands-free system, the phone
book from the phone and the SIM card loads into the hands-free memory.
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-
free system, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating
can take a few minutes. During this period, the available phone book is the one
stored at the previous update. Newly stored telephone numbers are only
shown after the updating has ended.
The update is interrupted if a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call, voice control dialogue) occurs during the updating procedure. After the tele-
phone event has ended, the updating starts anew.
GSM II
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact
can contain up to 4 numbers.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not com-
plete.
