Automatic climate control *
Residual heat
The heat which is stored in
the engine is utilized for
heating the interior when the engine
has been switched off – while waiting at
a railroad crossing, for instance.
You can adjust the automatic climate
control settings in ignition key posi-
tion 1. With the ignition key in position
0, the system automatically directs
heated air to the windshield, side win-
dows and footwells.
This function may be activated
when the outside temperature is
below approx. 59 7/156, the engine
is at operating temperature, and the
battery is adequately charged. The LED
on the button will light up when all con-
ditions have been met.
