Air supply/blower

You can select blower speeds
1 to 4. The greater the incom-
ing flow of air, the more effec-
tive heating and ventilation

will be. In position 0, the blower and the
heating are switched off. The supply of
air is shut off in position 0.

Temperature

To raise the temperature
inside the car, turn to the
right, red. The temperature of
the air entering the car is

maintained at a constant level.

Air distribution

You can direct the flow of air
toward the windows

toward the upper-body area

and into the footwell

Any intermediate setting is possible. In
the

position a small amount of air

continues to reach the windows in
order to prevent them from fogging
over.

Heated rear window

When the rear window heater is
switched on, the telltale light

comes on. The heater is subsequently
switched off automatically.

You can have your car configured
so as to have the rear window

heater switched on automatically. In
this case the heater switches on within
5 minutes of the engine being started if
the outdoor temperature is below
approximately 4

6 (397).

Air-conditioning mode

Air is cooled and dried and
reheated to suit the temperature

setting.

Depending on weather conditions, the
windscreen may fog over momentarily
when the engine is started. Switching
on the air conditioning helps prevent
the windows misting over.

You can have your car configured
so as to have the cooling function

switched on automatically when the
engine starts.

Moisture condensate forms when
the air conditioning is in operation;

this condensation is discharged under-
neath the car. Traces of water on the
ground are therefore normal.

Outside-air/recirculated-air mode

If there are strong smells out-
side the car, you can temporar-

ily switch off the supply of outside air.
The air inside the car is then recircu-
lated.

If the windows mist up in recircu-
lating mode, switch this mode off

and, if necessary, also increase the air-
flow.
