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.

Climate control103● Set temperature control tocoldest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Open all air vents.
Demisting and defrosting the

● Set temperature control to warmest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Set air distribution control to V.
● Switch cooling AC on.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü.
● Open side air vents as required and direct them towards door

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; 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.

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
3 40.
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.
Stop-start system 3 117.Manual settings
Manually changing any of the
following settings will deactivate
Automatic mode:
Fan speed Z
Adjust the air flow manually by
switching the fan to the desired
speed.
If the fan is switched off, the air
conditioning is also deactivated.

Combinations of settings are possible
by pressing two buttons until both
LEDs are illuminated.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
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 3 112.
If no cooling or drying is required
press AC OFF 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 u. LED
illuminates in the button when
activated.

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.

110Climate controlTo open or close the centre air ventsand 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.Maintenance
Air intake The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter
The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
Air conditioning regular operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when outside
temperature is too low.
