One of the following systems may be fitted, depending on the equipment in your vehicle:
- Heating and ventilation system or
- Manual air conditioner* or
- Automatic air conditioner* (deluxe version)
The heating and ventilation system* heats and ventilates the vehicle interior. The air conditioner* additionally cools and dehumidifies the air coming into the vehicle. It operates most effectively with the windows and the panorama sun roof* or soft top* closed. If the vehicle has been standing in the sun, it may cool down faster if you open the windows briefly to let the hot air escape.
Pollution filter
The pollution filter removes impurities, such as dust and pollen, from the air.
Various settings are stored and assigned to the remote control key in use.
These settings differ depending on whether the soft top* is open or closed.
Default settings for certain functions can be selected on the infotainment system.
Select the following on the infotainment system: MENU button > Car > left control button > A/C.
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The vehicle interior warms up more quickly with the supplementary heater. The system automatically switches the supplementary heater on temporarily as required, depending on the setting on the vehicle heating system.
The supplementary heater function can be switched on or off as required. Select the following on the infotainment system: MENU button > Car > left control button > A/C > Auto supplementary heater.
For the sake of the environment
- Switch off the cooling mode on the air conditioner* by pressing the A/C button if you wish to save fuel. This will also reduce emissions. The LED in the button will go out when the air conditioner is switched off.

- (Applies to vehicles with diesel engine: ) The automatic supplementary heater function can be switched off on the infotainment system link►.
Note
- Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen clear of snow, ice and leaves to ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and to prevent the windows misting over.
- Condensation can drip off the air cooling system* and form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
- If you notice, for instance, that the seat* or rear window heating is not working, it may have been temporarily switched off by the power management function. These systems will be available again as soon as sufficient electrical power is available.
Note
The air conditioner contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Further information is provided on a sticker in the engine compartment1).
