. These connect
ors can work at
a maximum power of up to 10.5 W per port.
They are not intended for file playback.
WARNING
The power socket works only when the igni-
tion is on. Improper use may cause serious
injury or even fire
. Children should there-
fore not be left in the vehicle unattended if
the button is also left behind. Otherwise
there is a possibility that they may be in-
jured.
CAUTION
Always use the correct type of plugs to
avoid damaging the sockets.
Note
●
The use of electrical appliances with the
engine switched off will cause a battery
dischar
ge.
●
Should the connected appliance over-
heat, immediately switch it off and discon-
nect it from the socket.
●
Before switching the ignition on or off, un-
plug the appliances from the USB ports to
protect them from any damage caused by
fluctuations in voltage.

Introduction
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, sever-
al syst
ems may hav
e been fitt
ed:
●
The
heating and v
entilation heats and
ventilates the passenger compartment. It
cannot cool.
●
The manual air conditioning and the Cli-
matronic cool and dehumidify the air. They
operate most effectively with the windows
and the sunroof closed.
To switch a specific function on, press the ap-
propriate button. Press the button again to
switch off the function.
The LED on each control lights up to indicate
that the respective function of a control has
been switched on.
Dust and pollen filter
The dust and pollen filter with its activated
charcoal cartridge serves as a barrier
against impurities in the air taken into the ve-
hicle interior.
The dust and pollen filter must be changed
regularly so that air conditioner performance
is not adversely affected.
If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due to
use in areas with very high levels of air pollu-
tion, the filter must be changed more fre-
quently than stated in the Service Schedule.
WARNING
Reduced visibility through the windows in-
creases the risk of serious accidents.
●
Always ensure that all windo
ws are free
of ice and snow, and that they are not fog-
ged, so as to maintain good visibility of ev-
erything outside.
●
Only drive when you have good visibility.
●
Always ensure that you use the air condi-
tioning, heater or rear window heating to
maintain good visibility to the outside.
●
Never leave the air recirculation on for a
long period of time. If the cooling system is
switched off and air recirculation mode
