100 n Automatic climate control *
Tips for pleasant driving
Use the automatic system (switch on
AUTO – button 7). Select an interior
temperature that is comfortable for you
– we recommend 72 7 (+22 6). When
the outside temperature is above 41 7
(+5 6), you can also use the air condi-
tioner (12). This will dry the air as well
as preventing condensation on the
window surfaces – if there are passen-
gers with damp clothing, for example.
Set the air outlets (2) so that the air
flows past you and is not directed
straight at you. Set the rotary dial
between the air outlets (2) for the upper
body to a medium position, since air
that is somewhat cooler promotes
driving without fatigue.
Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program assumes
the adjustment of the air distri-
bution and the air supply for you and in
addition adapts the temperature to
external influences (summer, winter) to
meet preferences you can specify. This
program maintains a comfortable in-car
climate regardless of the season. Select
an interior temperature that is comfort-
able for you – we recommend 72 7
(+22 6). The temperature selected and
AUTO for the air supply appear in
display (10), refer to the overview on
page
98 . Open the air outlets for the
upper body area. Switch on the air
conditioner in warm weather. The
maximum cooling capacity is achieved
when you set rotary dial (3) to cold.
Refer to page
102 .
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting specific
distribution patterns to suit your
own individual requirements.
You can direct air to flow onto the
windows
, toward the upper body ,
and into the footwell .
Temperature
The figures in the display
provide a general indication of
interior temperature. We recommend
72 7 (+22 6) as a comfortable setting,
whether the air conditioner is operating
or not. When you start the vehicle, the
system ensures that the selected
temperature is reached as quickly as
possible. It then maintains this tempera-
ture, regardless of the season.
Set rotary dial 3 (refer to "Draft-free
ventilation" on page
102 ) to a medium
setting, since air that is somewhat
cooler promotes driving without fatigue.
You can use this setting for mixing air to
make minor comfort modifications.
The full, uncontrolled heater
output is available at 90 7
(+32 6). At a setting of 60 7 (+16 6),
the full cooling output is available when
the air conditioner is activated.
