This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos-
sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.

Overview of climate control systems
Important safety notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R
switch off climate control only briefly
R
switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly
R
switch on the cooling with air dehumidifi-
cation function
R
switch on the "demist windscreen" function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature
and air humidity in the vehicle interior. The
interior filter cleans the air, thus improving
the interior climate.
For vehicles without hybrid drive, the "Cooling
with air dehumidification" function is availa-
ble when the engine is running. For hybrid
vehicles, the cooling with air dehumidification
function is also available via the electric
refrigerant compressor when the engine is
not running. Optimum climate control is only
achieved with the side windows and roof
closed.
The residual heat function can only be acti-
vated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off (Y page 166).
i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (Y page 107).
This will speed up the cooling process and
the desired interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i
The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pol-
lutants and odours. A clogged filter reduces
the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason, you should always
observe the interval for replacing the filter,
which is specified in the Service Booklet. As
this depends on environmental conditions,
e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i
It is possible that the blower may be acti-
vated automatically 60 minutes after the
key has been removed depending on vari-
ous factors, e.g. the outside temperature.
The vehicle is then ventilated for
30 minutes to dry the automatic climate
control.
