Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
AC=cooling4=air recirculationCooling (AC)
Operated with the AC button and
functional only when the engine and
fan are running. LED illuminates in
the button when activated.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Notice
Air conditioning performance is
reduced when ECO mode has been
activated 3 110.
Air recirculation system 4
Operated with the 4 button. LED
illuminates in the button when
activated.9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling, the
air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and avoid the use
of air distribution settings J and V.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
■ Cooling AC on.
■ Air recirculation system 4 on.
■ Set air distribution control to M.

Heated rear window Ü 3 40.
The preselected temperature is
automatically regulated. In Automatic mode, the fan speed and air
distribution automatically regulate the
air flow.
The system can be manually adapted via the use of air distribution and air
flow controls.
Electronic climate control system is
only fully operational when the engine is running.
Automatic mode AUTO
Basic setting for maximum comfort:
■ Switch on the fan.
■ Press AUTO button; fan speed, air
distribution, cooling and air
recirculation are regulated
automatically.
■ Set the desired temperature.
■ Open all air vents.
To switch off the electronic climate
control system, switch off the fan.
Temperature preselection
Temperatures can be set to the
desired value.

102Climate control
If the minimum temperature is set, the
climate control system runs at
maximum cooling.
If the maximum temperature is set, the climate control system runs at
maximum heating.
Demisting and defrosting the windows ■ Press button Ê. LED illuminates in
the button when activated.
■ Temperature, air distribution and cooling are regulated automaticallyand the fan runs at high speed.
■ Switch on heated rear window Ü

AUTO button.
Cooling AC
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
Notice
Air conditioning performance is
reduced when ECO mode has been
activated 3 110.
If no cooling or drying is required press the AC OFF button to switch the
cooling system off, thus saving fuel.
LED illuminates in the button.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
AUTO button.
Air recirculation mode u
Activate or deactivate manual air recirculation mode with the u button.
LED illuminates in the button when
activated.

Climate control1039Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
AUTO button.
Rear heating system
The rear passenger compartment
heating fan assists air flow to the rear
passenger compartment via the rear
air vents.
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan. Air temperature is controlled
using the temperature control on the
instrument panel.
Rear air conditioning
system
The rear air conditioning system is
actuated in conjunction with the front
passenger compartment air
conditioning system.

104Climate control
Rear air conditioning fan switch
The rear air conditioning fan assists
air flow to the rear passenger
compartment via the rear air vents.
Switch on the fan while the air
conditioning system is operating to
allow cooled and dehumidified (dried) air to be distributed.
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan.
Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant
heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine
running.Caution
Do not touch the exhaust pipe. It
may be hot even after the engine
has been switched off, due to
coolant heater operation.
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
9Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units The timer or remote control unit turns
the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.

inadvertent operation.
The remote control has a maximum
range of 600 metres. The range may
be reduced due to environmental
conditions and as the battery
becomes weaker.

106Climate control
In addition to the remote control unit,
the heating can also be switched on
for 30 minutes, or off, using the
button.
Battery replacement
Replace the battery when the range
of the remote control is reduced or
when the battery charge symbol
flashes.
Open the cover using a coin and
replace the battery (CR 2430 or
equivalent), ensuring the new battery
is correctly installed with the positive
( < ) side facing the positive terminals.
Replace the cover securely.
Dispose of old batteries in
accordance with environmental
regulations.Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.

108Climate controlAir vents
Adjustable air vents At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on, in order to prevent
the evaporator from icing up due to lack of air movement.9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Centre air vents
To open or close the centre air vents
and direct the flow of air, tilt the slats
up or down and turn the adjuster
wheel left or right.
Side air vents
To open or close the side air vents, tilt the slats up or down.
Direct the flow of air by rotating the
vents.
Depending upon the position of the
temperature control, air will be
directed into the vehicle via the side
air vents.
Rear air vents
Depending on vehicle, additional
adjustable air vents are located in the
rear passenger compartment.
Fixed air vents
Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows, in the foot wells and,
depending on vehicle, in the rear passenger compartment.
Glovebox cooler
The air conditioning system can also
keep the contents of the glovebox
cool.
