This chapter describes all standard, coun-

try-specific and optional equipment offered

with the series. It also describes features

and functions that are not necessarily avail-

able in the vehicle, e.g., due to the selected

options or country versions. This also ap-

plies to safety-related functions and sys-

tems. When using these functions and sys-

tems, the applicable laws and regulations

must be observed.

ter a certain amount of time, depending on

the outside temperature.

Air conditioning

Principle

With extended air recirculation mode, the

air quality in the interior deteriorates and

window fogging increases.

The air in the interior will be cooled and

dehumidified and, depending on the temper-

ature setting, warmed again.

In case of window condensation, switch off

air recirculation mode and increase the air

flow, if needed.

Functional requirement

The car's interior can only be cooled with

the engine running.

Air flow, manual

Principle

Turning on/off

The air flow for climate control can be ad-

justed manually.

Press the button.

The LED is illuminated with air con-

ditioning switched on.

Adjusting

Depending on the weather, the windshield

may fog up briefly when the engine is

started.

Turn the ring to set the de-

sired air flow.

The higher the air flow, the

more effective the heating or

cooling power will be.

The cooling mode produces condensation,

refer to page 239, that will exit from below

the vehicle.

The air flow from the air conditioning sys-

tem may be reduced to save vehicle battery

power.

Air recirculation mode

Principle

Manual air distribution

Principle

You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-

tants in the immediate environment by tem-

porarily suspending the supply of outside

air. The system then recirculates the inte-

rior air.

The air distribution for climate control can

be adjusted manually.

Operation

Adjusting

Press the button:

Turn the wheel to select the

desired program or the desired

intermediate setting.

The LED is illuminated when recir-

culated-air mode is switched on. The supply

of outside air is shut off.

When recirculated-air mode is switched off,

fresh air is directed into the vehicle's inte-

rior.

To defrost windows and remove

condensation

Make the following settings to defrost the

windows and remove condensation:

Rear window defroster

Press the button. The LED illumi-

nates.

The rear window defroster switches off au-

tomatically after a certain period of time.

–

Direct the air distribution onto the win-

dows.

When GREEN driving mode is activated,

–

Increasing the air flow.

Increase the temperature.

Switch on air conditioning if needed.

Microfilter

In external and recirculated-air mode, the

microfilter filters dust and pollen from the

air.

Heated windshield

Press the button. The LED illumi-

nates.

Have this filter changed during vehicle

maintenance, refer to page 281.

Turning on/off

Press the button.

The LED is illuminated with air con-

ditioning switched on.

Temperature

Principle

Depending on the weather, the windshield

may fog up briefly when the engine is

started.

The automatic climate control achieves the

set temperature as quickly as possible, if

necessary by using the maximum cooling or

heater output, and then keeps it constant.

Air conditioning is switched on automati-

cally with the AUTO program.

The cooling mode produces condensation,

refer to page 239, that will exit from below

the vehicle.

Adjusting

Turn the wheel to set the de-

sired temperature.

Maximum cooling

Principle

The system is set to the lowest tempera-

ture, maximum air flow and recirculated-air

mode.

Do not rapidly change between different

temperature settings. The automatic climate

control will not have sufficient time to ad-

just the set temperature.

Functional requirement

The function is available at outside temper-

atures above approx. 32 ℉/0 ℃ and with

the engine running.

Climate control

Turning on/off

Turn the wheel to set the de-

sired intensity from soft to in-

tensive.

Press the button.

The LED is illuminated with the

system switched on.

The set intensity is displayed via the posi-

tion of the illuminated LED segment.

Air flows out of the air vents to the upper

body area. The air vents need to be open for

this.

Automatic recirculated-air control

(AUC)/recirculated-air mode

The air flow can be adjusted when maxi-

mum cooling is switched on.

Principle

AUTO program

Principle

The automatic recirculated-air control

(AUC) recognizes pollutants in the outside

air. The outside air supply is shut off and

the interior air is recirculated.

The AUTO program cools, ventilates or

heats the car's interior automatically.

For this, the air flow, air distribution and

temperature are regulated depending on the

settings and the interior temperature.

General information

If the system is activated, a sensor detects

pollutants in the outside air and controls the

shut-off automatically.

Turning on/off

If the system is deactivated, outside air con-

tinuously flows into the interior.

Press the button.

The LED is illuminated with the

AUTO program switched on.

With constant air recirculation mode, the

air quality in the interior deteriorates and

window fogging increases.

Depending on the selected temperature,

AUTO intensity and outside influences, the

air is directed to the windshield, side win-

dows, upper body, and into the floor area.

You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-

tants in the immediate environment by tem-

porarily suspending the supply of outside

air. The system then recirculates the inte-

rior air.

Point the side air vents toward the side win-

dows.

The following features are switched on au-

tomatically with the AUTO program:

Turning on/off

Press button repeatedly to select an

operating mode:

–

Air conditioning, refer to page 209.

To switch off the program: press the button

again or manually adjust the air distribu-

tion.

–

ously.

Direct ventilation:

The air flow is directly pointed onto the

person. The air flow heats or cools no-

ticeably, depending on the adjusted tem-

perature.

Principle

The pre-ventilation ventilates the interior

and lowers its temperature, if needed.

–

Indirect ventilation:

General information

If the air vents are fully or partly closed,

the air is directly routed into the car's

interior.

The pre-ventilation can be switched on and

off directly or by using two preset activa-

tion times. The system remains switched on

for 30 minutes.

Front ventilation

The pre-ventilation system is operated via

the Central Information Display (CID).

Functional requirements

–

Direct operation: vehicle is in radio-

ready state.

–

Direct operation or preset activation

time: does not depend on outside tem-

perature.

–

The vehicle battery is sufficiently

charged.
