The AUTO program
2 can optimise air distribu-
tion and air volume in virtually any situation, see
AUTO program below. All you need to do is
select an inside temperature
5 which is com-
fortable for you.
The following sections inform you in detail
about how to adjust the settings.
AUTO program
The AUTO program takes charge
of setting the air volume and air
distribution to the windscreen and
side windows, to the upper body and to the
footwell.
The cooling function is switched on automati-
cally in the AUTO program.
Temperature
The scale values are guide figures
for the interior temperature.
The automatic air-conditioning
system attains this temperature as
quickly as possible regardless of the season by
using maximum cooling or heating power if nec-
essary. The temperature is then maintained.
The automatic air-conditioning system
does not have sufficient time to establish
the set temperature when temperature settings
are changed quickly in succession.

Adjusting air distribution manually
You can direct the air volume to the
windows
, towards the upper
body
and into the footwell
.
Any intermediate setting is possi-
ble. You can switch the automatic
function for air distribution back on with the
AUTO button.
The air volume continues to be regulated auto-
matically when the air distribution is adjusted
manually.
Adjusting air volume manually
Turn to vary the air volume. You
can switch the automatic function
for the air volume back on by
pressing the AUTO button.
The higher the air volume, the more effective
the air conditioning will be.
