Heated front seats*

The front seat heating has three positions for
increasing the comfort for driver and passenger
when it is cold.

Current heat level is shown in the centre console display

screen.

Press the button repeatedly to
change between the different
levels or to deactivate the func-
tion.

There are three heat levels that give different
heating outputs:

•

Highest heat level - three orange fields illu-
minate in the centre console's screen (see
figure above).

•

Lower heat level - two orange fields illumi-
nate in the screen.

•

Lowest heat level - one orange field illumi-
nates in the screen.

•

Switch off the heat - no field illuminates.

WARNING

Heated seats must not be used by people

who find it difficult to perceive an increase in

temperature due to a lack of sensation or who

otherwise have problems operating the con-

trols for the heated seats. Otherwise they may

suffer burn injuries.

Automatic start of driver's seat heating

With the automatic start of the driver's seat heat-
ing activated, the driver's seat will have the high-
est heat level when the engine is started.

Automatic start takes place when the car is cold
and the ambient temperature is lower than
approx. +10 °C.

It is possible to activate/deactivate the function
in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 109).

Air conditioning

The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies
incoming air as required.

When the lamp in the AC but-
ton illuminates, the air condi-
tioning is controlled by the sys-
tem's automatic function.

When the lamp in the AC but-
ton is switched off the air con-

ditioning is disconnected. Other functions are still
controlled automatically. When the max. defroster
function (p. 130) is activated, the air conditioning
is switched on automatically so that the air is
dehumidified at the maximum setting.

NOTE

Heated windscreen and IR window (p. 20)
may have an impact on the performance of
transponders and other communication
equipment.

NOTE

A triangular area at the end of each side of
the windscreen is not electrically heated,
where de-icing may take longer.

NOTE

Electrically heated windscreen is not available
when the engine is auto-stopped (p. 284).

The following also takes place when the max.
defroster function is active in order to provide
maximum dehumidification in the passenger
compartment:

•

the air conditioning is automatically engaged

•

recirculation and the air quality system are
automatically disengaged.

NOTE

The noise level increases as the fan is operat-
ing at max.

When the defroster is switched off the climate
control returns to the previous settings.

Air distribution - recirculation

Select recirculation to shut out bad air, exhaust
gases etc. from the passenger compartment, i.e.
no outside air is taken into the car when this
function is activated.

When recirculation is engaged
the orange lamp in the button
illuminates.

IMPORTANT

If the air in the car is recirculated for too long
then there is a risk of misting on the insides
of the windows.

Timer

With the timer function activated the system will
exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the outside
temperature. This reduces the risk of ice, misting
and bad air.

It is possible to activate/deactivate the function
in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 109).

NOTE

When max. defroster is selected, recirculation
is always deactivated.

Engine block heater and passenger

compartment heater*

Preconditioning prepares the heater, engine and
passenger compartment before departure so
that both wear and energy needs during the jour-
ney are reduced.

The heater can be started directly (p. 135) or
with a timer (p. 136).

The heater cannot start if the outside tempera-
ture exceeds 15 °C. The heater's maximum run-
ning time is 50 minutes.

WARNING

Do not use the fuel-driven heater indoors.

Exhaust gases are secreted.

NOTE

When the fuel-driven auxiliary heater is active
there may be smoke from the right-hand
wheel housing, which is perfectly normal.

Refuelling

Warning label on fuel filler flap.

WARNING

Fuel which spills out could be ignited. Switch

off the fuel-driven auxiliary heater before star-

ting to refuel.
Check in the combined instrument panel that

the heater is switched off. The heat symbol is

shown when it is operating.

Parking on a hill

If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the
car should point downhill to ensure that there is a
supply of fuel to the fuel-driven heater.

Battery and fuel

If the battery has insufficient charge or the fuel
level is too low, the heater will be switched off

automatically and a message appears on the
information display. Acknowledge the message
by pressing the indicator stalk (p. 106) OK but-
ton once.

IMPORTANT

Repeated use of the heater combined with
short journeys leads to the battery discharg-
ing and consequential starting problems.

The car should be driven for the same time as
the heater is used to ensure that the car's
battery is recharged adequately to replace the
energy consumed by the heater when it is
used on a regular basis. The heater is used
for a maximum of 50 minutes each time.
