Introduction  
Description and information  
Please refer to the information regarding the recirculated air mode for air-con-  
ditioning ⇒ꢀpage 102 or for Climatronic ⇒ꢀpage 105.

air outlet vents with any objects.  
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in  
the vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of the car is enhanced as a result of  
this particularly at high outside temperatures and a high air humidity. The system  
prevents the windows misting up during the cold season of the year.  
Using the air conditioning system economically  
The compressor on the air conditioning system uses power from the engine when  
in cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption.  
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode in order to enhance the cool-  
ing effect - air-conditoining system ⇒ꢀpage 102, Climatronic ⇒ꢀpage 105.  
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order  
to ensure that the heating and cooling systems operate properly.  
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the inte-  
rior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order to al-  
low the heated air to escape.  
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air condi-  
tioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is quite normal  
and not an indication of a leak!  
The cooling system should not be switched on while travelling when the window  
is open.  
The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching in the  
cooling system just by switching to fresh air mode.  
WARNING  
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-

dows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about how  
to correctly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to demist and  
defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.  
Operational problems  
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,  
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your at-  
tention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident  
increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin  
misting up.  
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C,  
there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be:  
The fuse on the air conditioning system has blown. Check the fuse, replace it if  
necessary ⇒ꢀpage 229.

Redirecting air flow

The horizontal as well as the vertical direction of the air flow is set with the  
moveable handle in the middle of the relevant air outlet vents.  
The air outlet vents 2, 3 ⇒ꢀfig. 108 and 5 ⇒ꢀfig. 109 can be closed and opened indi-

Unwarmed or cooled air will flow out of the opened air outlet vents according to

The air conditioning system is a combined cooling and heating sys-

any season of the year.

Air at a temperature of about 5°C may flow out of the vents under certain circum-  
stances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven distribution of  
the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for example  
when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.

Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off  
WARNING  
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air  
blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun ray's are suffi-  
cient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof de-  
liver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh  
air.  
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as  
“stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your atten-  
tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident in-  
creases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin mist-  
ing up.  
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be opened ⇒ꢀfig. 108.  
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.

ing system which provides optimal comfort for the occupants of the  
car.  
the information of the Climatronic is also shown on the display. This function can  
be switched off, see operating instructions of the radio or the radio navigation  
system.  
The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is  
achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the outflowing air, the  
blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sun-  
light which eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The automatic  
mode ⇒ꢀpage 104 ensures maximum wellbeing of the occupants at all times of  
the year.
