medium or high) during operation in
mode.
Climate control usage instructions
The interior cooling system only works when
the engine is running and fan is switched on.
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 conditioning operates most effective-
ly with the windows and the sunroof* closed.
However, if the passenger compartment has
heated up after standing in the sun for some
time, the air inside can be cooled more quick-
ly by briefly opening the windows and the
sunroof*.
Change the temperature unit (Climatron-
ic)
The temperature display can be changed
from Celsius to Fahrenheit on the Infotain-
ment system screen using the function button
> Settings > Units.

Air conditioning
The cooling system cannot be activated

If the air conditioning system cannot be
switched on, this may be caused by the fol-
lowing:
The engine is not running.
●
The fan is switched off.
●
The air conditioner fuse has blown.
●
The outside temperature is lower than ap-
●
proximately +3°C (+38°F).
The air conditioner compressor has been
●
temporarily switched off because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air
●
conditioner checked by a specialised work-
shop.
Special characteristics
If the humidity and temperature outside the
vehicle are high, condensation can drip off
the evaporator in the cooling system and
form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak!
Note
After starting the engine, any residual hu-
midity in the air conditioner could mist over
the windscreen. Switch on the defrost func-
tion as soon as possible to clear the wind-
screen of condensation.
Air vents
To ensure proper heating, cooling and venti-
lation in the vehicle interior, the air vents must
remain open.
To close the air vents on the left side, move
●
the corresponding diffuser vent lever fully to
the right. To close the air vents on the rights
side, move the corresponding diffuser vent
lever fully to the left.
Change the air direction using the ventila-
●
tion grille lever.
There are other additional, non-adjustable air
vents in the dash panel, in the footwells and in
the rear area of the passenger compartment.
Note
Food, medicine and other heat or cold sen-
sitive objects should never be placed in
front of the air outlets as they may be dam-
aged or made unsuitable for use by the air.
Air recirculation

Air recirculation mode prevents the ambient
air from entering the interior.
When the outside temperature is very high,
selecting manual air recirculation mode for a
short period refreshes the vehicle interior
more quickly.
