Vent settings
Direct the flow of air to the win‐
dows
, to the upper body area
or to the knee area and foot‐
well . Intermediate settings are
possible. In the 6 o'clock position, a
small amount of air is also directed toward the
windows to keep them from fogging over.
Recirculated air mode
If the air outside the car has an un‐
pleasant odor or contains pollu‐
tants, shut off the supply to the interior of the car
temporarily. The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
The recirculated air mode can also be
activated/
deactivated, refer to page 12, via a button* on
the steering wheel.
Only use recirculated air mode for a limited
period
If condensation starts to form on the inside win‐
dow surfaces during operation in the recircu‐
lated air mode, you should switch it off while also
increasing the air flow rate as required. The re‐
circulated air mode should not be used contin‐
uously for lengthy periods; otherwise, the qual‐
ity of the air inside the car will gradually
deteriorate.◀
Air volume
Press the corresponding button.
The higher the rate, the more ef‐
fective the heating or cooling will
be.
The air flow rate may be reduced or the blower
may be switched off entirely to save on battery
power.
Switching the system on/off
Press the left button at the mini‐
mum fan speed. The blower and air
conditioner are completely
switched off and the air supply is cut off.
To switch on the air conditioner, set the desired
air flow rate.
Switching cooling function on/off
The cooling function cools and de‐
humidifies the incoming air before
reheating it as required, according to the tem‐
perature setting. This function is only available
while the engine is running.
The cooling function helps to prevent conden‐
sation on the windows or to remove it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
