Air conditioning
Note
●
The use of el
ectrical appliances with the
engine switched off will cause a battery
discharge.
●
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.
●
Some appliances may not work properly
when connected to the 230 volt sockets
due to a lack of power (watts).
Air conditioning
Heating, v
entilation and
cooling
Introduction
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, sever-
al syst
ems may have been fitted:
●
The manual air conditioning system
heats, cools and dehumidifies the air.
●
The Climatr
onic is an automatic air condi-
tioner that heats, cools and dehumidifies the
air.
With the Climatronic’s automatic mode it is
possible to automatically regulate the air
temperature, distribution and flow.
The air conditioning system is more effective
if the vehicle's interior is kept closed. When a
lot of heat builds up inside the vehicle, venti-
lation can speed up the cooling process.
To switch a specific function on, press the ap-
propriate button. Press the button again to
switch off the function.
The illuminated LEDs next to the buttons indi-
cate that the function is switched on.
In the air conditioning settings in the infotain-
ment system, the yellow function buttons in-
dicate that the function is switched on

Refrigerated glove box
When the vent is open, cold air flows into the
glove box. If the inside of the vehicle is cooled
by the air conditioning system, the cold air
can be directed towards the inside of the
glove box.
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.
Economic use of the air conditioning
When the air conditioning is switched on, the
compressor consumes engine power and has
influence on fuel consumption.
The air conditioner operates most effectively
with the windows and the panoramic sliding
sunroof closed. However, if the vehicle has
heated up after standing in the sun for some
