Conditions for the system function  
The system is activated.  
The light switch is in the position .  
The vehicle speed is over 60 km/h or for some countries more than 40  
km/h.  
A component of the system is the static side light. This light is used in some  
light modes, e.g. for bend illumination during reversing.  
The system works as long as the light switch is in position .  
The windscreen is clean in the sensor area.  
WARNING  
Switch on the system  
If there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered to  
the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming  
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Seek help from  
a specialist garage.

Introduction  
Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,  
nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.  
Make sure that the heating elements of the rear window heater or the fila-  
ments of the antenna built into the rear are not damaged by abrasive items.  
Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-  
gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the com-  
partments.  
Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and not load these  
When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to  
the shift in centre-of-gravity. Therefore, adjust the speed and driving mode ac-  
cordingly.  
punctiform - there is a risk of damage to the compartments.  
When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to  
Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with  
Fastening elements  
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or securing nets so that they can-  
not slip.  
Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment as possible.  
Tyre pressure is to match the load.  
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic  
energy that they can cause severe injuries.  
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the  
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.  
Luggage compartment light  
The light switches on/off when the boot lid is opened or closed.

WARNING  
For road safety when transporting cargo on the roof rack, observe the fol-  
lowing instructions.  
Always distribute the load on the roof rack evenly and secure properly us-  
ing suitable lashing straps or tensioning straps.  
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on  
“Parking position”  
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the  
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must  
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.  
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-  
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-  
dent!  
CAUTION  
Make sure that the sliding / tilting roof or the boot lid does not collide with  
Fig. 151 Adjustment options for the variable loading floor

Operation  
       
CAUTION  
Air distribution control  
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air opera-  
tion is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on  
the evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when  
the air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through  
considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).  
Read and observe on page 114 first.  
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the In-  
terior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of  
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.  
To switch on, press the button. The warning light below the button lights  
up.

Climatronic  
Read and observe on page 114 first.  
The Climatronic can have a sensor that measures the air recirculation mode  
and automatically turns on if there is an increased concentration of pollutants  
in the incoming air.  
The Air CareFunction reduces pollutant penetration contained in the outside  
air into the vehicle.  
When the function is activated, the air in the vehicle is circulated and cleaned  
at the same time. The cleaning process is displayed by the zones displayed in  
the Infotainment screen.  
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recircula-  
ted air mode is automatically switched off.  
Automatic switch-on/switch-off of the air recirculation function can be set in

screen» Fig. 155.  
A shut-off of the air recirculation function takes place automatically by press-  
ing the button, possibly depending on the moisture conditions in the vehi-  
cle interior.  
To ensure correct Air Care functioning, all doors and windows including the  
panoramic sliding/tilting roof must be closed.  
When opening a door or a window, the corresponding message is displayed in  
the Infotainment screen.  
WARNING  
The air recirculation cannot be switched on for a longer period of time be-  
cause there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may result  
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also  
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as the windows mist up, turn the air  
recirculation mode off immediately - there is a risk of accident!

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)  
Introduction  
The auxiliary heating heats the vehicle interior as well as the engine. For heat-  
ing, fuel is consumed from the fuel tank.  
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior with  
the engine switched off, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-  
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).  
Fig. 157 Air vents at the rear  
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) (referred to just as auxil-  
iary heating in the following) ensures the heating / ventilation depending on  
the setting of the air conditioning and the air outlet vents before switching off  
the ignition.  
Read and observe on page 114 first.  
The direction of airflow can be adjusted using the air outlet vents 3, 4  
» Fig. 156 and 6 » Fig. 157, and the vents can be opened and closed individually.  
The setting of the airflow direction is carried out by moving the adjustment el-

The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of  
the vehicle. If you want to use the auxiliary heating, do not park the car in  
places where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable  
materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. - risk of  
fire.
