The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat

output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.

Heating and manual air conditioning

The cooling system works under the following conditions.

The cooling system is switched on.

The engine is running.

The outside temperature is below 2 ° C.

The blower is switched on.

Fogging is prevented when the cooling system is switched on.

It is possible to boost the effectiveness of the cooling system by briefly acti-

vating the air recirculation system » page 117.

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

If the air distribution control is set to position  when the recirculation modes

is switched on, the recirculated-air mode is switched off. By pressing the 

button, the air recirculation also in this position can be switched on again.

When the cooling system ( button) is switched on and the temperature reg-

ulator is “turned” to the left, the recirculated-air mode is switched on.

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

the Infotainment screen, by pressing the  button on the Climatronic and by

then pressing the function surface  → Automatic air recirculation

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-

ement

places where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable

materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. - risk of

fire.
