AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

Automatic air distribution and volume

Automatic program (AUTO):
Indicator lamp lights up.

Automatic adjustment of the air distribu-
tion and volume, and adaptation of the
specified temperatures to external influ-
ences, i.e. outside temperature and sun-
light.

In the automatic program (AUTO), the air
conditioning is activated automatically. To
create a pleasant air climate, the air tem-
perature coming from the vents in the
upper body area is lower than the air tem-
perature in the footwell.

Press the left half of the button while the
blower is at the lowest setting. The blower,
heating and air conditioning are switched
off. All displays go out.

on by pressing any button.

Air conditioning

Indicator lamp lights up.
The air is cooled and dehumidified

and, depending on the temperature set-
ting, rewarmed.

In the automatic program (AUTO), the air
conditioning is activated automatically.

After the engine has started, the wind-
shield can temporarily fog over. In the air
conditioning mode, there is less condensa-
tion on the windows.

When the air conditioning is on, con-
densation is formed which then exits

under the vehicle. Traces of condensed
water on the ground are therefore nor-
mal.

Recirculated air mode

Supply of outside air into the vehi-
cle is blocked. indicator lamp lights

up.
The air within the vehicle is recirculated.

In the automatic program (AUTO) in hot
weather conditions, the recirculated air
mode is activated temporarily to enable

faster cooling.
The indicator lamp for the recirculated air
button is not lit.

The recirculated air mode should not be
constantly used over a longer period of

time, as the air quality in the vehicle's interior
will otherwise gradually deteriorate. If the
windows fog up in the recirculated air mode,
turn the recirculated air mode off and if nec-
essary increase the air supply.

Rear window defroster and windshield
heating*

Indicator lamp lights up.
As long as the indicator lamp is lit,

the window heater is operating.
The heater switches off automatically after a
short time.

Temperature

Tap or turn the wheel in the appro-
priate direction to change the tem-
perature step by step.
The figures in the display provide a

general indication of interior temperature.
When you start the vehicle, the system
ensures that the selected temperature is
achieved as quickly as possible and then main-
tained.
