The functions can be switched on and off by pressing the rotary controls, buttons or rocker switches. The LED in the corresponding button or rotary control lights up when the function is switched on. The rocker switches are touch-sensitive. The rotary controls -4- are used to adjust the temperature Fig. 100. Automatic mode is activated/deactivated by pressing the rotary controls. Separate settings can be selected for the driver s and front passenger s sides.
The control console in the rear cabin Fig. 101 can be used to select separate settings for the rear left and rear right passenger s sides.
OFF Switching the air conditioner on/off
The OFF button is used to switch the air conditioner on and off. The air conditioner will also switch on if you press one of the other buttons or rotary controls. The OFF button in the rear cabin just switches the rear air conditioning on/off. When the air conditioner is switched off, the supply of air from outside the car is cut off.
A/C Switching air cooling on/off
When the air cooling is switched off, the air is neither cooled nor dehumidified. The windows may mist up as a result. The air cooling is switched off automatically at low outside temperatures (below zero).
Switching eco mode on/off
The air conditioner runs in a particularly efficient mode when the eco setting is selected.
Switching air recirculation on/off
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interior of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the interior. We recommend switching on the air recirculation mode when driving through a tunnel or in traffic queues .
The air recirculation mode is switched off when rotary control -4- or the button is pressed.
AUTO Switching automatic mode on
The automatic mode maintains a constant temperature inside the vehicle. Air temperature, output and distribution are regulated automatically.
Selecting the temperature
The temperature can be adjusted between +16 °C (+60 °F) and +28 °C (+84 °F). Outside this range, LO or HI will appear on the air conditioner display. In the two extreme settings the air conditioner operates continuously with maximum cooling or heating output, and the temperature is not regulated automatically.
Adjusting the blower speed
You can adjust the blower speed manually using the rocker switches -3-. Press rotary control -4- for automatic control of the blower speed.
/ / Adjusting the air distribution
You can use the rocker switches -2- to select the air outlets you wish to activate. Press the rocker switches -2- repeatedly until the desired air distribution is displayed on the display of the air conditioner control console. Press rotary control -4- for automatic control of the air distribution.
Opening / closing the wide air outlet
You can open and close the wide air outlet on the dashboard using the button Fig. -6- .
/ * Adjusting the seat heating /ventilation*
When you press the / * button, the seat heating/ventilation is switched on at level 3 (the highest level). The LEDs indicate the temperature level. To reduce the temperature, press the button again. To switch off the seat heating/ventilation, press the button repeatedly until all the LEDs have gone out.
The seat heating/ventilation automatically switches from level 3 to level 2 after 10 minutes.
MAX Switching the defroster on/off
The windscreen and side windows are defrosted or demisted as quickly as possible. The air output is increased to maximum and most of the air comes out of the outlets below the windscreen. The air recirculation mode is deactivated. The temperature should be set to 22 °C or higher. The temperature is regulated automatically.
The defroster is switched off when rotary control -4- is pressed.
Applies to vehicles with windscreen heating*: At low outside temperatures, the windscreen heating is switched on together with the blower. Press and hold the MAX button. The LED in the button will flash.
REAR Switching the rear window heating on/off
The rear window heating operates only when the engine is running, and switches off automatically after about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the outside temperature.
To switch on the rear window heating permanently, press and hold the REAR button for at least three seconds. It will then remain on until the ignition is switched off.
SYNC Synchronisation
Rocker switch -1- is used to select this function. When synchronisation is activated, the settings for the driver s side (with the exception of seat heating/ventilation*) are applied to the front passenger s side and rear cabin. The synchronisation is deactivated and 4-zone appears on the display as soon as the settings are changed on the front passenger s side or in the rear cabin.
SET REAR function
Rocker switch -1- is used to select this function. The SET REAR function allows you to adjust all the settings for the rear cabin via the control console in the front cabin. In this case, the rear air conditioner console is deactivated. This function is deactivated automatically after a certain period or when you close the menu.
Air outlets
The thumbwheels can be used to open and close the air outlets in the centre and on either side of the dashboard and the outlets in the rear centre console and in the door pillars. The lever in the centre of the outlets can be used to adjust the direction of air flow. The wide air outlet is opened and closed using the button Fig. -6- .
Residual heat
To activate the residual heat function, press and hold rotary control -4- when the ignition is switched off. The system will then heat the interior using the remaining heat in the engine coolant. The residual heat function will be switched off after about 30 minutes.
WARNING
  • For reasons of safety you should not leave the air recirculation switched on for too long. This mode prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle, so the windows can mist over if the air cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can cause an accident.
  • People with limited capacity to feel pain or sense temperature could burn themselves when using the seat heating. These people must not use the seat heating - risk of injury!
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heating, please do not kneel on the seat or apply sharp pressure at a single point.
Note
The rear air conditioner control console cannot be operated if the electric child lock* is switched on. The SET REAR function allows you to adjust all the settings for the rear cabin via the control console in the front cabin link.
