‹› The Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) (E265) exists in different versions. Therefore note the correct allocation when replacing a Rear A/C
Control Head (Climatronic) (E265)
‹› At this time, the "component safeguard" function is not in effect on the Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) (E265) (introduction of this function
has not yet been finalized).
‹› The selected functions are displayed by illuminated LEDs in the various buttons of Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) (E265).
‹› Display fields and control buttons on Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) (E265) are illuminated by Light Emitting Diodes (these LEDs cannot
be replaced).
‹› If a new Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) (E265) was installed and Basic Setting was not performed, A/C system controls are restricted and
this is displayed as a malfunction in DTC memory.
‹› After replacing front A/C control head Climatronic Control Module (J255), always perform basic setting, check adaptation and check DTC
memory of A/C system.
‹› At this time, the Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) (E265) is not coded (vehicle-specific settings are performed here via the "Adaptation"
function). At the start of production, Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) (E265) units were installed on which a coding is indicated; this coding
can also be modified, however it does not take effect and has no influence over A/C system regulation.
