Operation
●
The outside t
emperature is lower than +3°C
(+38°F).
●
The cooling system is switched off and the
outside temperature is below +10°C (+50°F).
●
The cooling system is switched off, the out-
side temperature is below +15°C (+59°F) and

Air Care Climatronic with allergen filter
The Air Care Climatronic allergen filter can
reduce the amount of harmful substances, in-
cluding allergens, that get inside.
If the Air Care option is switched on, the air
conditioning’s air recirculation mode is maxi-
mised until there is a risk of the windows mist-
ing up due to humidity inside the vehicle and
the outside temperature. The air recirculation
mode is automatically regulated and incor-
porates an automatic setting to prevent the
vehicle occupants suffering from fatigue.
●
Open the air conditioning settings in the in-
fotainment system

page 151.
●
Switch the Air Care function on or off using
active Air Care.
WARNING
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and
r
educe driver concentration possibly re-
sulting in a serious accident.
●
Never leave the fresh air fan turned off or
use the air recirculation for long periods of
time; the air in the vehicle interior will not
be r
efreshed.
●
If the cooling system is switched off and
air recirculation mode switched on, the
windows can mist over very quickly, con-
siderably limiting visibility.
CAUTION
Do not smoke when air recirculation is
s
witched on in vehicles with an air condi-
tioner. The smoke taken in could lie on the
cooling system vaporiser and on the acti-
vated charcoal cartridge of the dust and
pollen filter, leading to a permanently un-
pleasant smell.
Note
●
Climatr
onic: air recirculation mode is ac-
tivated to prevent exhaust gas or unpleas-
ant odours from entering the vehicle interi-
or when it is in reverse and while the auto-
matic windscreen wiper is working.
●
When the outside temperature is very
high, selecting manual air recirculation
mode for a short period refreshes the vehi-
cle interior more quickly.
Seat heating

side r
ear seats can be electrically heated to

ble.

When the engine is started again within ap-
proximately 10 minutes, the most recently set
heating level for the driver's seat is switched
on automatically.
