Heated rear window 3 40.
Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
AC:cooling4:air recirculation
Heated seats 3 45.
Cooling (AC)
Press AC to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by illumination
of the LED in the button. Cooling is
only functional when the engine is
running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press AC again to switch off cooling.
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 off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
may inhibit an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 117.
Notice
Air conditioning performance is
reduced when ECO mode has been
activated 3 112.
Air recirculation system 4
Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. Activation is indicated by
illumination of the LED in the button.Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.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.

104Climate controlIf 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 Ê; LED illuminates in the
button when activated.
● Temperature, air distribution and cooling are regulated
automatically and the fan runs at
high speed.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü

To return to Automatic mode: press
Ê or AUTO .
Notice
If Ê is pressed while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be inhibited until Ê is pressed again.
If Ê is pressed while the engine is in
an Autostop, the engine will restart
automatically.

Climate control1059Warning
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.
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.

106Climate controlAuxiliary 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.

programme specific departure times.Timer1 X

The control buttons operate
identically to the timer unit described
previously.
To activate the remote control, press X and release it when the menu bar
appears in the display. The signal
indicator and SENd appear briefly in
the display, followed by the
temperature.
9 Warning
When refuelling, switch off the
remote control unit as well as the
heater!
To switch off, press and hold X to
prevent 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.
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.

departure time.

Climate control109Notice
The remote control system features
a temperature sensor which
calculates the runtime according to the ambient temperature and thedesired heating level (ECO or
HIGH). The system starts
automatically between 5 and
60 minutes prior to the programmed
departure time.
Set weekday, time and heating

flashes in the display. Adjust using
q or r and confirm.Air 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 tolack 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.

Climate control111ServiceFor optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended that the climate control system be checked annually, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check

ECO mode
ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
Activation
Press ECO. Control indicator ECO
illuminates in the instrument cluster when activated.

114Driving and operatingStarting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period, fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of
the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging the
vehicle battery.
