Switching the cooling function on
and off

The cooling function cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air
before reheating it as required,
according to the temperature set-

ting. This function is only available while the
engine is running.
The cooling function helps prevent condensa-
tion on the windows or removes it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is automatically switched
on along with the AUTO program.

Maximum cooling

Maximum cooling is achieved most
quickly at outside temperatures
above 32

7/0 6 and when the

engine is running.

The automatic climate control goes into recir-
culated-air mode at the lowest temperature. Air
flows at maximum rate from the vents for the
upper body area. You should therefore open the
vents for maximum cooling.

AUTO program

The AUTO program automatically adjusts the
air distribution to the windshield and side win-
dows, towards the upper body area, and into the
footwell and knee area.
The air flow rate and air distribution, in addition
to your temperature specifications, will be
adapted to outside influences as a result of sea-
sonal changes, e.g., sunlight or window con-
densation.
The cooling is switched on automatically with
the AUTO program.

Switching on/off

Press the button.

Manual air distribution and air flow rate are acti-
vated when the AUTO program is deactivated.

AUTO program climate level

The climate levels can be used to vary the inten-
sity when the AUTO program is switched on.
For example, air flow is adjusted automatically
to optimize climate control.

When the AUTO program is
switched on, you can select the cli-
mate level of the AUTO program

using the buttons for controlling the manual air
flow rate.
The selected climate level is displayed by
an LED.

Convertible program

When the hardtop is open, the convertible pro-
gram is activated as well. In the convertible pro-
gram, the automatic climate control is opti-
mized for driving with the hardtop open. In
addition, the air flow rate is increased as vehicle
speed increases.

The effectiveness of the convertible pro-
gram can be enhanced considerably by

installing the wind deflector.

Adjusting air flow rate manually

Press the left side of the button to
reduce air flow. Press the right side
of the button to increase it.

The air flow rate may be reduced to save battery
power. The display remains the same.

Switching the system on/off

With the blower at its lowest setting, press the
left side of the button to switch off the auto-
matic climate control. All displays are cleared
except for the rear window defroster if it is
switched on.
Press any button except the rear window
defroster to reactivate the automatic climate
control.
