Press A/C 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 A/C 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.

illumination of the LED in the button.
Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.

116Climate control9Warning
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 A/C on.
● Air recirculation system 4 on.

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.

Climate control119
To operate the heating fan, press -
to activate the heating fan. The
heating fan is activated if both the
LED of the button and the LED of the
fan control at the roof are not
illuminated.
Set the heating fan y to regulate the
amount of heated air to be flown into
the rear passenger compartment.
Rear air conditioningsystem
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. The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan.
To allow cooled and dehumidified
(dried) air to be distributed:
Press A/C OFF to switch on the air
conditing system. The system is
operating if the LED of the button is
not illuminated.
Press - to activate the rear air
conditioning fan. The fan is activated if both the LED of the button and the

126Climate 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.
Notice
Pollen filter is only fitted to vehicles
with air conditioning system.
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.

Climate control127ServiceFor optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended to annually check the
climate control system, 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

Refrigerant R-134a contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential of 1430.
Front air conditioning system is filled
with 0.58 kg and has a CO 2
equivalent of 0.83 tonnes, the front
and rear air conditioning system is
filled with 0.88 kg and has a CO 2
equivalent of 1.26 tonnes.Depending on vehicle, information
regarding air conditioning refrigerant
appears on a label located in the
