Interior mirror dimming

Mirrors
67WARNINGExterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, they make objects ap-
pear smaller and further away. Therefore, use the interior mirror whenever
possible, for assessing the distances to the vehicles following behind.WARNING■ The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may
leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respi-
ratory system.■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.

WARNING■ Attach external devices (e.g. navigation system) not in the vicinity of the
mirror with automatic dimming . The illuminated display of an external de-
vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror -There is a risk of an ac-
cident.■
Automatic mirror dimming only operates correctly if the light striking the

By repeatedly pressing the button, the heat is turned down until it is com-
pletely switched off . The level of the seat heating is indicated by the number

The seat heating only operates when the engine is running.WARNINGIf you are sensitive to pain and/or temperature, e.g. through medication,
paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recommend not to
use the seat heating. If the seat heating is used, we recommend to make
regular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that the
body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your
doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
The following instructions should be observed to avoid damage to the seats.■Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■
Do not switch on the heating for unoccupied seats.
■
Do not switch on the heating for seats which have objects on them (e.g. a
child seat, bag or similar).
■
Do not switch on the heating for seats which have seat covers or protective
covers on them.
Note
If the on-board voltage decreases, the seat heating switches off automatically

WARNING■The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there is a risk of accident.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Note
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.

temperature.
Setting temperature
The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately or to-
gether.
The temperature for both sides, is set by turning the knob A
» Fig. 116 (the
indicator light in the button  is not illuminated).
The temperature for the right side is adjusted by turning the knob
D
(the in-
dicator light in the button  is lit).
The temperature for the left side is adjusted by turning the knob
A
(the indi-
cator light in the button  is lit).
At a temperature setting below 18 ° C at the start of the numerical scale, the
symbol  will illuminate, Climatronic is using
Maximum cooling performance.
At a temperature setting above 26 ° C at the end of the numerical scale, the
symbol  will illuminate, Climatronic is using
maximum heat output.
There is no automatic temperature control in the two end positions. In the
range between 18 °C to 26 °C, an automatic temperature control takes place.

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 button 
when the respective
number of indicator lights come on.
CAUTION
Do not cover the interior temperature sensor H » Fig. 116 - the function of the
Climatronic could be impaired.
Note
■ If the windscreen mists up, press the button . Press the button  once
the windscreen has demisted.■
In order to ensure adequate thermal comfort, there may be an increase in en-
gine idle speed during operation of the Climatronic in some circumstances.
Climatronic - automatic operation
Read and observe
on page 94 first.
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.
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 can be switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air
distribution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature
regulation is continued.
Note
Climatronic is set to the “HIGH” mode at the factory.95Heating and ventilation

Air distribution controlRead and observe
on page 94 first.
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the in-
terior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.

To switch on press the 
button.
›
To switch off , press the 
button again.
If the air distribution control is set to position 
when the recirculation modes
is switched on, the recirculated-air mode is switched off.
By pressing the  button, the air recirculation also in this position can be
switched on again.
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)

To turn the recirculation mode on, press the Symbol key
 repeatedly until
the indicator light is lit on the left side of the button.
›
To activate the automatic recirculation mode, press the Symbol key
 re-
peatedly until the indicator light is lit on the right side of the button.
The Climatronic can have a sensor that measures the air recirculation mode
and automatically turns on if there is an increased concentration of pollutants
in the incoming air.
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recircula-
ted air mode is automatically switched off.
If the air quality sensor does not automatically switch on the recirculated air mode, you can switch it on yourself by pressing the button . The indicator
light lights up in the button on the left side.
To turn off the air recirculation or to deactivate the automatic air recircula-
tion , press the
 button of press the
 symbol button repeatedly until the
warning lights in the button go out.
WARNINGThe recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because no fresh air is fed through from the outside. “Stale air” may result
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as windows mist up, turn on the re-
circulation system immediately - There is a risk of accident!CAUTIONWe recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from the interior is deposited on the evapo-
rator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the air
conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through consid-
erable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
The Climatronic automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside
temperature is higher than approx. 2 °C.
