Tips for pleasant driving

Use the automatic mode by pressing
AUTO button 6. Select an interior tem-
perature that is comfortable for you.

Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.

You can make the settings of your
vehicle in such a manner that

when you unlock the vehicle with the
remote control of your personal key,
your own personalized setting for the
automatic climate control is initiated.

Automatic air distribution and
supply

The AUTO program adjusts the
air distribution and the air sup-

ply for you and in addition adapts the
temperature to external influences –
summer, winter – to meet preferences
you can specify.

Individual air distribution

You can cancel the AUTO pro-
gram by selecting specific dis-
tribution patterns to suit your
own individual requirements.

While the AUTO program is then deacti-
vated, the automatic airflow control
remains in operation. Air flows onto

windows

, toward the upper body

, and into the footwell

. You can

switch the automatic distribution of air
back on by selecting the AUTO button.

Temperature

The interior temperature that
appears in the display panel is a
general figure intended for refer-

ence purposes. We recommend
72

7/+226 as a comfortable setting,

even if the air conditioning is on. When
you start the vehicle, the system
ensures that the selected temperature
is achieved as quickly as possible
regardless of the season. It then main-
tains this temperature.

To select the units of measure

6/7 of

the display, refer to page

.

Air supply/Blower

By pressing the upper or lower
button, you can vary the air sup-
ply. This deactivates the auto-

matic control of the air supply, AUTO
disappears from the display panel. Nev-
ertheless, the automatic air distribution
remains unchanged. You can reactivate
the automatic air distribution mode by
selecting the AUTO button.

When the lowest blower speed is set
and you press the lower button, all of
the displays are canceled: the blower,
heating and air conditioning are
switched off. The outside air supply is
blocked. You can reactivate the system
by pressing any button for the auto-
matic climate control.

To defrost windows and remove
condensation

This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the

windshield and the side windows.

Air conditioning

The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and – depending on the

temperature setting – rewarmed.

Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started. Air conditioning helps
prevent the windows from fogging up.

Condensation forms during opera-
tion of the air conditioning system,

which then exits under the vehicle. It is
thus not unusual for a small puddle to
form under the car while the system is
running.
